摘要 |
A robotic device for transferring a plurality of soft contact lenses from a first processing station to a second processing station, said device comprising: (a) a first frame, said frame having a plurality of first contact lens carriers arranged thereon, each of said carriers having a concave lens holding surface and a contact lens to be transferred, said concave lens holding surface also defining a first fluid means for introducing a fluid between said surface and said lens; (b) a robotic transfer head, said head facilitating transfer of said lens from said first processing station to said second processing station, said transfer head also having; (i) a plurality of second contact lens carriers, each of said second carriers defining a convex lens attachment surface to receive a contact lens and a second fluid means for introducing a fluid between said contact lens surface and said convex surface; (ii) a robotic transport for moving said transfer head from said first processing station to said second processing station.
