Injection Pen Assembly Line
The challenge
A flexible and future-proof solution: this pen assembly line was designed to adapt to program changes due to market and production demands.
We were tasked by the European site of a prominent international pharma company to design an automatic assembly line that could assemble a cartridge-based pen injector and accommodate future production expansion.
This line is currently suitable for low-medium volume production (50ppm) of 2 pens with different doses, but the machine could be rapidly scaled up. It was developed with a range of options that support high OEE such as extensive use of automation modules (pick & place units, robots and delta picker robots) and inspection systems (using vision technology and sensors). The modular structure of our systems also enabled us to embed a customized labeling unit.
This project was supported by our in-house capabilities. To help the customer save costs and increase efficiency, we participated in the design of various tray layouts for product loading and unloading to and from the line.
Highlights on the layout
1. Machine platform
Flexible linear motion transport system | Optimal accessibility and clearance | Low maintenance
2. Infeed
Cartridge smooth handling to prevent breakages | Components orientation and check
3. Assembly&Dial
Product tracking and verification with local rejects | Each step is monitored via cameras, force positioning, sensors
4. Labeling
Label print verify & apply | Local inline reject stations
