Dispensing machinery is playing an increasingly important role in medical device assembly in the healthcare and life sciences industries. While vendors currently offer manufacturers a variety of single-operation off-the-shelf dispensing machines, meeting the complex and highly specific requirements of the medical and life science industries frequently necessitates custom design for features, such as multiple dispensing heads and variable product lanes.
Precision substance dispensing in the life sciences industry comes in a variety of applications. Intec Automation can develop automated dispensing solutions for products of low and high viscosity, as well as different dispensing modes, such as pipettes, positive displacement, and diastolic pumps.
More viscous products generally comprise of glues and other adhesives. Depending on the medical device in assembly, dispensing equipment may need to handle multiple stages such as two-part epoxy, cyanoacrylates, and/or UV curing adhesives.
Intec Automation solutions for dispensing operations enhance performance quality. Custom dispensing equipment designed, such as precision nozzles and pipettes for specific tasks, introduce a variety of benefits in life science device assembly applications.
Human operators in dispensing systems invariably operate tools inconsistently, varying pressure, time, range of motion, or other input parameters. This variable input reduces product consistency and raises rejection rates. Automating dispensing operations allows manufacturers to reliably create more consistent products at lower costs.
Automated equipment runs at a faster pace than human operators with significantly less downtime.
In healthcare and life science applications such as vaccine vial filling or reagent dispensing, manufacturers must often maintain highly regulated standards of hygiene and isolation. Automated systems reduce the risk of contamination by human operators.
