いた。That is, the cap of a sample container with a key center cap is grasped by a robot hand, the body is grasped by a gripper of a grip opening/closing drive unit, and the cap is removed by driving the gripper by a rotation drive device. It has become. When fitting a cap into a sample container, the procedure is reversed, and the opening and closing of the cap in such an automatic cap opening/closing device was adjusted according to the time. That is, a method has been adopted in which the robot hand grips a cap for a fixed amount of time in advance, and when that time elapses, it moves on to opening and closing the next cap.
