Abstract

A novel automatic manufacture device for tissue micro-array is introduced in this paper. Based on the analyses of task and process, the new device prototype is researched and developed. The device consists of a paraffin positioning module and a three-manipulator module. The control system is composed of accurate navigation sub-system, digital image recognition sub-system and punching-filling operating sub-system. The results of experiment demonstrate that the device can accomplish the operations such as image automatic recognition, accurate position, auto-punching and filling. It fulfills the requirements to automatic manufacture of tissue micro-array.
