Transport System

The automated Transport System centers on a continuously circulating link-belt conveyor. It is designed as a continuous loop with rounded corners to facilitate smooth operation. This multiple lane conveyor allows a main lane to act as a highway for rapid specimen transport between gates and modules. The outer lane acts as a branch lane capable of accepting specimens diverted to it from the main lane and queuing them for a module.
