Applied Precision Microscope Slide Loader

LEI designed and built this prototype slide loader using only one stepper motor axis.  The unique mechanical design allows the stepper to pull the cassette into the loader housing, clamp the cassette in place, close the housing door, lock it shut, open the bail on the cassette, and index each of the cassette slides.  The loader was designed and drafted in AutoDesk Inventor.

Lund Engineering was responsible for the concept, design, engineering and construction of the prototype loader.
