See it live: dispensing on levitating shuttles at MEDICA 2026
Our new demonstrator with B&R runs on ACOPOS 6D shuttles that float with no contact, no particles and no wear, ideal for cleanroom production. Watch our 6-channel dispenser place droplets at full speed. On November 17 and 18, B&R experts join us at the booth.
In the lab, the dispenser moves to the product. In mass production, it’s the other way around: the product moves to the dispenser. At MEDICA 2026 in Düsseldorf, we’re showing what this looks like in practice. Our new demonstrator, co-created with B&R Industrial Automation, will be running live at Booth 3E05 in Hall 3.
When scale-up flips the architecture
At high throughput, the product has to move anyway. It is prepared, washed, assembled, inspected and packaged. So instead of moving a dispenser over a static substrate, it often makes more sense to let the product come to the dispenser, as one station among many.
Levitating, friction-free, cleanroom-ready
The demonstrator was co-created at B&R’s Co-Creation Lab OrangePoint and runs on ACOPOS 6D. Its shuttles levitate freely and move in all six degrees of freedom, with no mechanical contact at all:
- No particles
- No wear or abrasion
- No friction
- Nothing to lubricate
That is exactly what cleanroom production asks for.
Dispensing at full speed
In the demo, microscope slides from microfluidic ChipShop GmbH ride on the levitating shuttles while our 6-channel dispenser places nanoliter to microliter droplets at full speed. It is precise, clean, flexible and scalable.
“We always grew together with our customers, from first feasibility to full production. With this cooperation there is no ceiling anymore.”

Meet B&R at our booth
On November 17 and 18, Lazaros Patsakas from B&R Industrial Automation will join us at the booth to answer your questions about the ACOPOS 6D technology first-hand.
We would like to thank Kalle Hansson, Lazaros Patsakas and Tomas Barkman of B&R for the great and fast collaboration on this project.
