Multichannel syringe pump

This is a modular multichannel pump system that is designed to work with different sizes of syringes. This particular design works with 1ml disposable syringes.

---

Then get put an aluminum extrusion for example from Misumi (ie., HFS5-2020-400).

After that connect the nema17 and threaded rod (5/16” or M8 threaded rod and shaft coupler) to the igus_slidermount_encoder_TW_04_12_motormount_assy_m8() plate.

Then connect a slider and rail (this used to be designed with Iverntech but seems like this would work too)

Then connect the slider mount, iverntech_pump_slider_plate() and nut coupler, oneml_syringe_stepper_linear_m8nut_coupler()

---

Now connect the multichannel_syringeshuttle_clipbracket() and the multichannel_plunger_clamp().

Connect the plunger fastener module

Now attach the clamp extrusion connectors that will be used for securing the syringes.

Now mount the syringes
