Automation of Medical Devices

HEKUMAs molding automation systems for the plastics industry and specifically for Medical Device manufacturing often include up- and downstream production steps such as 100% visual product inspection, ultrasonic welding or packaging. Turnkey systems for high volume production of cuvettes, pipette tips, petri dishes and other consumables are typical applications as well as Systems for wells, micro plates and other medical devises. Our expertise focuses around precision and high speed insert, takeout and handling of the product, often in clean room environments.

Not all disposables are produced by relatively standardized automation solutions like pipette tips, wells or Petri dishes. If overmolding of needles is required, filter membranes have to be applied or scales have to be marked, HEKUMA benefits not only from its long-time experience in medical technology, but also from systems manufactured for the automotive industry, consumer goods sector or in packaging technology. Those fields often demand sophisticated insert technology as well as complex assembly technologies for multiple parts.

In the medical sector, scarcely anything is possible without detailed system validation and qualification procedures according to numerous standards like ISO, FDA, GAMP, cGAMP. HEKUMA offers to support its customers with the often complex and laborious validation and DQ, IQ, OQ, PQ qualification documentation, or carries out these processes completely on request.
