Automation technology
As a company in the field of special machine construction with a high degree of vertical integration, Strama-MPS is characterised by technology, system and process know-how. We support our customers in the implementation of their goals and accompany them in every phase: from the initial automation idea, through preliminary tests and pre-series setups, to full production-ready automation.
Test setup Manual assembly Semiautomated assembly Fully automated assembly Fast cycle assembly (ProMoCurve)
All machines and systems from Strama-MPS are designed, constructed and realised in compliance with GMP. We place the highest value on quality for both small series and fully automated assembly systems, which is why our qualification experts accompany the project from the very beginning.
As a special machine builder, the requirements of our customers are the basis for the machine design so that the optimal platform for the end product can be created.
Test setup & manual assembly
- Implementation of Proof of Concepts (PoC)
- Analysis of the automatability of customer products (DfA/ DfM)
- Engineering and assembly of test set-ups
- Support of the customer in ramp-up scenarios
Semiautomated assembly & fully automated assembly
- Drive via servo-electrics/ pneumatics
- Implementation of machine solutions with a high variety of variants (e.g. rotary transfer/ WT belt transport, robot/axis handling)
- Combination of stations with different degrees of automation
- Development of machine concepts with the possibility of scaling
Fast cycle assembly (ProMoCurve)
- Control via cam discs
- Flexible process arrangement on machine platform
- Cycle times down to one second
- High product safety due to separation of product and work area
- Optimum machine utilisation through minimisation of non-productive times
- Cleanroom requirements up to ISO class 7
Inserter mounting system for insulin pumps
The fully automated rotary table assembly line for the assembly and testing of EOS inserters for insulin pumps meets the requirements of a clean room GMP class D. The components are provided in trays. The inserters are fed with palletising systems.
Highlights & Challenges
- Clean room requirements according to GMP class D
- Threading of the flexible sensor strip into a slotted cannula (diameter 1.2mm)
- Process monitoring by means of camera application
- Latching test of the spring hooks
- Monitoring of the maximum insertion force of the sensor unit (10N) into the holder
Division of the assembly processes & tests
- Provision and input of the inserter
- Counter-reading of the inserter DMCs
- Provision and input of the inserter slides
- Provision and assembly of the sensors
- Position control of the mounted sensors
- Final assembly of the inserter slides in the inserter with subsequent control
Manufacturing options within the Strama-MPS
We manufacture and assemble both individual mechatronic assemblies and complete assembly systems based on your individual requirements.
