Nasal Spray Assembly Line
The demand for emergency life-saving devices is increasing. This line assembles two nasal sprays at high speed
The challenge
An American-based contract manufacturer specializing in nasal sprays and sterile solutions needed a reliable line to assemble two different products with a high volume throughput.
Nasal Spray Assembly Line
The solution
To meet these challenges, our engineers created a high yield assembly line, based on our fully automatic linear motion platform, BasiQX XTV. Processing 200 pieces per minute, the line offers high flexibility enabling a multi-format device assembly on the same equipment, thus reducing total investments for the customer.
The equipment was developed with a range of inline controls that made it possible to deliver the highest quality standards. This includes using different technologies, such as camera inspection, force monitoring or pull tests to ensure device functionality.
