Design Considerations for Automated Assembly

Our premier systems integrators provide custom automation solutions to solve complex problems through designing and building completely modular solutions for the medical and life science industry.  We can help you develop a turn-key automation solution for your repetitive and manual processes, while producing consistent and measurable results by decreasing cycle time, improving quality, and reducing operating costs. We are ready to help every step of the way starting with fine tuning an initial concept to designing, building, programming, testing, installing and providing support.

ROI Calculator: Automation Upgrades For a Complex Machine Cell 

Assessing the potential that automation has to offer requires a detailed evaluation of your current processes against the latest integrated technologies. That's why we developed an ROI calculator to compare your current manual operation against a fully automated manufacturing process.  This eBook and calculator will:

  • allow you to input and analyze your current manual process parameters
  • help you justify switching from a manual machine cell to an automated solution

Needle-Bending Equipment Solutions for Medical Manufacturers to Minimize Downtime

By automating the feeding, singulating, orientating, picking, placing, and inspecting operations, you speed up cycle times while freeing up human resources. In an automated machine cell, you can run multiple concurrent processes with each station performing a specific task. Every time the machine cell indexes, all stations index a new batch. The program logic handles faults at a station by coordinating and optimizing the recovery procedures across all other stations, further minimizing downtime.

Dispensing Machinery: Filling Low to Highly Viscous Fluids with Ease

To increase accuracy, improve uptime, reduce the risk of contamination while being able to operate in a broader range of facility conditions, consider automating your dispensing processes.  Human operators in dispensing systems invariably operate tools inconsistently, varying pressure, time, and range of motion. This variable input reduces product consistency and raises rejection rates. Automating dispensing operations allows manufacturers to create more consistent products at lower costs.

Medical Device OEMS: How to Ensure Zero Out-of-Box Failures

Process automation enables manufacturers to control every variable in the production process to ensure zero out-of-box failures. Vision systems can accommodate differences in raw materials and adjust the process parameters to ensure the product meets the required specifications. Additional validation checks can ensure that the system dispensed the right volume of liquid into a tube and verify that the required agitation agent (such as a ball bearing) is present in the medical assemblies.

Medical Device Kit Assembly & Packaging Machines

We supply machines that assemble and inspect multi-component and variable-recipe test kits. These self-contained systems perform a variety of feeding, loading, inspecting and packaging operations including carrier trays, shearing and loading test strips and desiccant packs, and feeding and loading test tubes and swabs. Robotic pick-and-place elements feed the components, while our proprietary Linear Transfer Plate motion platform delivers smooth, high speed product movement.

Design Considerations for Automated Assembly

Most assembly processes are unique, but there are common design considerations that will determine the viability of an automation project. Here are a few factors that will help you evaluate whether your assemblies are automatable:

  • Part geometry 
  • Process complexity
  • Quality validation requirements 

We can help you find time-consuming processes and develop an automated assembly solution that reduces cycle time, increases quality and maximizes profitability.
