ABSTRACT:
An analyzer for moisture or ash testing where a robotic arm retrieves a crucible and sample from a conveyor, inserts it into a small opening in the upper surface of the furnace chamber and deposits it in an aperture on a carousel located within the furnace chamber. The carousel in the furnace chamber manipulates the crucibles within the furnace chamber. The opening in the upper surface of the furnace chamber is positioned such that when the carousel is ready for loading or unloading, an aperture in the carousel for holding the crucibles is aligned with the opening. At appropriate points during the testing cycle, individual crucibles are automatically deposited on a weighing platform connected to an internal balance through vertical motion of the carousel. Once final weighing in the test cycle is performed, the crucible is removed through the opening on the upper surface of the furnace chamber by the same robot arm which placed it in the chamber.
