Yaskawa Motoman introduces biomedical robot

Yaskawa Motoman, a global robotics manufacturer headquartered in Miamisburg, has launched a new robot for biomedical applications, according to a media release.

The new MH3BM (BioMedical) robot is designed to handle specimen processing, drug dispensing and medical research applications, officials said.

The robot features a special coating and stainless steel fasteners that permit cleaning with hydrogen peroxide. Cables and pneumatic connections are located on the bottom of the mounting surface, providing additional protection, officials said.

The robot’s ISO 5 clean room rating also makes it compatible with applications outside the biomedical market, including assembly, packaging and small parts handling, officials said.

Motoman Robotics, a division of Yaskawa America, provides robots for the automotive manufacturing, heavy equipment construction, and materials handling and packaging sectors. The company has more than 350 employees in the Dayton area.
