ARBURG solutions used
ALLROUNDER 520 A
At the heart of the turnkey system is an electric ALLROUNDER 520 A. Special clean room features include the encapsulated mould area, clean-air module and easy-to-clean stainless steel panels.
Six-axis robot
A six-axis robot, which is easily and safely programmed using the implemented SELOGICA user interface, removes the vaginal rings from a stripper plate.
Silicone injection moulding (LSR)
16 vaginal rings made of LSR that deliver pharmaceuticals in a controlled manner are created in a single work cycle. The most important quality-related factor is the correct combination of dosage volume and holding pressure. The part tolerance is 0.1 mm.
Clean-room technology
Machine and automation are overbuilt with clean-air modules including ionisation. The clean room cell complies with both the ISO 13485 guidelines and the FDA specifications.
