Technologies and know-how

Assembly

Precision for complex tasks and product diversity

Whether efficient pre-assembly of product sub-assemblies or final assembly, our platforms and process modules cover a wide range of products. Medical products, such as diagnostics and catheters, can be joined just as precisely and reliably as pharmaceutical devices, like inhalers and injection systems. Our portfolio ranges from semi-automatic machines for samples and small batches to fully automated systems for large quantities. We also integrate coordinated feeding and handling systems as well as modules for filling, labeling, checking and packaging. But what else characterizes your perfect system solution? Fast configuration and set-up, plus a modular design that can easily adapt to your new products.

Our expertise

Precise positioning of the lids –capping – in an assembly machine for dry powder inhalers with in-line control.

Line for sterile filling and assembly of solid implant syringes.

Assembly of on-body devices - here the automated insertion of a liquid-filled cartridge into the main assembly and the application of the cover.

Removal of fully assembled and function-tested autoinjectors from the process.

Precise winding - coiling - and insertion of filled blister strips into a disk inhaler for dry powder.

Feeding and inserting syringe needles into autoinjectors with height control via sensors.

Transfer of pre-assembled injection pens to the next assembly step – the placement of the bodies on plugs.

Final assembly of injection pens on the semi-automatic Assembly Lab system, ideal for the laboratory and approval phase.

Perfectly coordinated system solutions

In focus: your product

Whether high-precision joining of inhalers, solid implant syringes or body-supported injectors: Your product defines the process. We combine established core technologies to minimize the technological risk of your innovative devices. For the best process solution, we also provide support right from the initial phase with studies on Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA).

Autoinjectors

Self-medication for diabetes, pain therapy, emergency care: Autoinjectors are suitable for a wide range of applications. High processing quality and process reliability are essential for accurate delivery of the API dose.
