KL60 pharmacy robotic dispenser
KL60 pharmacy robotic dispenser
KL60 — We've redefined the term "robotic dispenser"! The KL60 is the pharmacy industry's first and only compact, fully-automated dispensing system that's perfectly sized for today's pharmacies.
The KL60 fulfills the pharmacy industry's long-unmet need for a system that handles all the functionality of a super-sized robotic dispenser, but in less space and at a fraction of the cost. The KL60 is sized and priced for any retail pharmacy or hospital outpatient pharmacy that dispenses from 100 to 1,000+ prescriptions per day.

The KL60 handles the labeling and filling of a pharmacy's top 60 medications - just the right number without reaching a point of inefficiency.
  • Fully Automate 30% or more of your orders - By automating 60 of a pharmacy's fastest moving medications, the KL60 handles just the right number of medications. There are no "slow mover" medications to expire in the unit before they are dispensed, and stocking the KL60 is not prohibitively expensive.
  • Continuously label and fill prescriptions.
  • The industry's most compact robotic dispenser - At just 29" wide, 46" long and 78" high, the KL60 is only one-third to one-half the size of some older robots. It greatly reduces the need for costly renovation.
  • Hands-Free Dispensing - Save time and labor by dispensing your high-frequency tablets using drug-specific cassettes. Automating the top 60 medications is just the right amount of automation for most busy pharmacies.
  • Flexible Vial Type and Size - The KL60 can accommodate several common vial types and two different vial sizes. Choose the vial that suits your business.
  • High speed, accurate cassettes - 60 drug-specific cassettes included. 650cc (holds approx. 950 metformin Hcl (500mg) tablets or 1,200 triamterene-HCTZ (25mg) capsules.
  • User-friendly, Easy Installation - Requires standard 110v power. No compressed air, remodeling, special wiring or engineering are needed. The KL60's intuitive software guides the technician through the simple Rx filling process. Loading vials, labels and medications is easy.
  • Network with Kirby Lester's KL20 or KL30 - Achieve complete verification of 100% of all prescriptions (not just oral solids) with Kirby Lester's full line of pharmacy automation.
KL30 and KL20 pharmacy counting & verification
The KL60 networks with Kirby Lester's tabletop systems like the KL20 and KL30 for complete counting and verification assurance.
