Medical Applications
Optimize Your Manufacturing Processes
Our goal at In-Position Technologies is to help you succeed in your process improvement projects. The Medical Manufacturing Industry can benefit greatly by optimizing their processes with automatic machine vision and barcode reading systems for measuring, inspecting and traceability. Robotic Arms and mobile robots can also be used in packaging, assembly and palletizing applications to reduce operating costs and increase overall efficiency.
Solutions for Medical Manufacturing
Machine Vision
2D or 3D Vision can inspect parts and perform other quality checks and traceability tasks. 2D Machine vision Smart Cameras and processors can be used to automate part inspection and quality control. Datalogic offers Gig-E and smart cameras, vision sensors and vision processors.
Laser Line Profilers and Structured Light Vision perform quality inspections in 3D. Instantaneously measure things like length, width, depth, hole diameters, flatness, convexity, concavity, volume, shape profiles and much more.
Robots
SCARA style robots have high-speed capabilities and are suitable for assembly, pick and place and dispensing applications.
The Meca500 is the smallest robot arm on the market and has a market-best .005 repeatability. Its small size and precision make it a perfect fit for medical manufacturers.
Cobots from companies like Universal Robots can be used for glue dispensing, screw fastening, packaging and palletizing, and more.
Material Handling
The MiR200 robot’s high payload capabilities, ease-of-use, and cleanroom compliance smooth the production flow for surgical instrument manufacturer Argon Medical Devices. The robot allows skilled workers to stay gowned for cleanroom work, improving productivity and saving the equivalent of one full headcount from material transportation tasks.
Precision Control
SMAC Electric Coil Actuators have a small package and economic price tag to allow them to competitively replace pneumatics. Especially if the application requires force or position control.
Products:
• Electric Actuators
• Servos & Steppers
• Gearboxes
• Linear Motors
• Cartesian Robots
Traceability
Improve quality and protect your company by tracking and tracing products as they flow through your facility, limiting product liability and avoiding recalls. For some products, tracking and tracing is required by FDA regulation. Read our detailed Traceability white paper here and our white paper on Unique Device Identifiers (UDIs) here.
Handheld scanners help you stay on top of maintenance activities, identifying parts for return and repair, track assets, handle work orders and other activities. Antimicrobial options with disinfectant-ready enclosures are available.
In-line barcode readers are used to verify barcode data and track assets as they flow through the manufacturing and sales process. Read our white paper on labeling and bar code reading.
Laser Markers can solve traceability problems by permanently marking your parts with a unique identifier. Lasers can have a relatively high entry cost but with their long life, low maintenance, improved text readability and lack of consumables, have lower total cost of ownership than inkject printers. Read our whitepaper on laser marking.
Conveyors
Conveyors are a simple way to automate and improve process flow. We have conveyor solutions for both standard manufacturing environments and washdown, clean room environments. QC Conveyors provide ease-of-use and time savings as they have a tool-less design for cleaning, swapping and tensioning belts.
We also offer plastic chain conveyors for applications that require a long travel distance or change in elevation. Plastic chain is a good fit for the following applications:
• Alpine Conveyor System
• Elevator Conveyor System
• Lengths up to 100′
Sensors
Part detection is typically a critical component to most automated workcells. Applications for Datalogic have a wide array of part detection sensors and sensors for the following applications:
• Part Presence
• Detect Fill Levels
• Inspect Color
• Simple Machine Vision
• Encoders
• Tachometers
• Metal Detection
TSLOTS
TSLOTS by Bonnell Aluminum are the leading T-slotted aluminum extrusions manufactured, distributed and sold by an aluminum extruder. That means you get the most consistent quality and one of the most extensive offerings in the industry. You never have to worry about color or finish, because all TSLOTS meet the same extremely high standards. TSLOTS Aluminum Extrusions help you quickly and easily create anything from clean rooms to robot enclosures. You simply insert a T-nut and fastener into TSLOTS and tighten. All you need are a few simple hand tools to create a durable, strong, lightweight structure that’s both functional and attractive.
