摘要

Apparatus for automatically measuring the density of an object (1) which comprises a first weighing means (17) for weighing the object (1) in a first medium which is dry, a second weighing means (19) for weighing an object (1) in a second medium which is wet and a robotic device (21) having a first gripper means (27) to grip the object (1) when dry and a second gripper means (29) to grip the object (1) when wet the device (21) being capable of controlling the first gripper means (27) so as to place the object (1) on and remove it from the first weighing means (17) and for controlling the second gripper means (29) so as to place the object (1) on and remove it from the second weighing means (19). <IMAGE>
