A sample handling device for a laboratory automation system comprising a first carousel with a disc supported on a first axis, a second carousel with a disc supported on a second axis parallel to the first axis, and a transfer element between the first and second carousels is presented. Each disc has recesses distributed radially about the disc perimeter. Each recess receives a tube carrier. The first carousel and the second carousel connect via a passage for transferring sample tube carriers between the first and second carousels. The transfer element is a track switch which when in a rest position partly closes the passage to separate the first carousel from the second carousel. The track switch is swiveled and/or rotated about a third axis parallel to the first axis out of the rest position for transferring a tube carrier from the first carousel to the second carousel via the passage. |

A roller system for sorting a produce or fruit, with a conveyor having an upper run and a lower run, a roller truck with two spindles and a roller wheel between. The roller truck is attached to side-by-side conveyors each with a string of the roller trucks operating in parallel and a roller drive belt contacting the roller wheel of the roller truck on the upper run, to spin the roller wheel and the roller pair. The side-by-side roller pairs of spindles have a spindle gap between each pair and a pocket is formed between each of roller pairs for receiving the produce, such as cherries, nuts or blueberries. As the roller drive belt rotates the roller wheel, the produce is rolled and repositioned in the pocket, exposing and presenting all surfaces of the produce to an optical scanner. |
