PURPOSE:To achieve automatic and continuous measurement by holding a sample container with an auto sampler, carrying it from that position onto a holder, and then moving and eliminating it after measuring a thermal weight. CONSTITUTION:Sample containers 9 with a sample 8 to be measured are placed on a tray 10 in the order of measurement previously. Then, when a device is operated, the tray 10 moves to a position which is determined previously by a tray traveling mechanism 13. Then, a robot finger 22 for driving an arm drive mechanism 17 travels so that it is positioned on the containers 9. Further, when a finger drive mechanism 21 is operated, a tip part of the finger 22 holds and retains the containers 9. A mechanism 19 is operated again, the containers 9 are moved upward, the finger 22 is opened, and the containers 9 are placed on the holder, where the sample 8 is heated by a heating furnace 5, a temperature of the sample 8 is measured by a thermocouple, the weight is measured by a balance, the sample is carried to the tray 10 after the measurement is completed, thus returning to an original position, thus enabling the containers 9 to be measured continuously and automatically. |
