Innovative
ARBURG is bringing the potential of this technology to the medical industry for the first time with a precise IML solution.
Sustainable
The tube and the label are both made of polypropylene (PP), meaning that the product is made from a single material and is therefore easily recyclable.
Precise
The precise positioning of the ultra-thin labels with just 0.2 mm spacing significantly reduces quality deviations and rejects.
IML application for medical technology
ARBURG solutions used
ALLROUNDER 520 A "Ultimate"
The centrepiece of the system is an electric ALLROUNDER 520 A "Ultimate" with a clamping force of 1,500 kN, designed for fast and sophisticated processes. The servo-electric drives of the high-performance machine ensure precise mould positioning and reproducible injection.
Turnkey system
As a system integrator, ARBURG offers customised production cells from a single source. In this example, components from Beck Automation, Kebo and Intravis, among others, were combined to create a smoothly functioning turnkey system.
Integrated functions
Thanks to the scratch-resistant label, the tubes offer a precise scale for indicating the fill level and additional functions such as temperature monitoring and QR codes for recycling and storage information. In the future, an RFID code could even enable process, quality and patient data to be fully traceable.
Medicine
Sensitive areas such as medical technology require reliability. Our high-quality clean-room concepts meet all requirements for precision and cleanliness. We are extra meticulous about this. Better safe than sorry!
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.
