  • Patent number: 7996107
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device that comprises a tool holder that can be adjusted in an x-axis, a y-axis which is perpendicular thereto, and a z-axis that is perpendicular both to the x-axis and the y-axis and that can be pivoted about the z-axis. A dispense head for solid material is mounted on the tool holder as the tool. Two scales are disposed on the dispense head for solid material, said scales weighing the material which is or is to be delivered by the dispense head for solid material. The inventive design with two scales directly mounted on the dispense head for solid material allows for weighing of the material without the dispense head for solid material or the material having to be placed on separate scales.

  • Patent number: 7635326
    Abstract: The inventive device comprises a tool holder (1), which can be displaced in an x-direction, in a y-direction that is perpendicular thereto, and in a z-direction that is perpendicular to both the x-direction and the y-direction, and which can rotate about the z-direction. A solid matter dosing head (350), provided as a tool, is automatically attached in a removable manner to the tool holder (1) by means of a permanent magnet (351). The tool can be easily exchanged for another tool due to this automatic removable attachment of said tool to the tool holder (1) involving the use of a permanent magnet (351).

  • Patent number: 7402285
    Abstract: Twelve reaction vessels (2) in two parallel rows are attached to a switch block (401). The switch block (401) comprises a reaction block (403) and twelve slide plates (404), which are arranged within it and which can be adjusted between an open position, a closed position and a further position. In the open position, access in straight line to the associated reaction vessel (2) is possible whereas in the closed position, the corresponding reaction vessel (2) is closed in a pressure-tight manner by the switch block (401). In the case of a positive pressure or depression in the reaction vessel (2), the corresponding slide plate (404) is pressed by this positive pressure or depression against the reaction block (403) or is drawn onto it. By means of this switch block (401), it is also possible to carry out processes in which high positive pressures are present in the reaction vessels (2).
