Centauri IVD This automation system from Micro Automation supports injection molding machines with up to 64 mold cavities performing high-volume production of pipette tips. The system features a high-speed linear handling system and a storage buffer that insulates the injection molding machine from any slowdowns in downstream operations such as labeling. The storage buffer can hold 10 minutes’ worth of parts so that delays in downstream processes won’t force the shutdown of the press. The modular system can be configured to handle insertion of filters into the pipette tips, automatic rack loading, label printing, labeling, blister packaging of the finished products and a variety of other downstream production steps.
What’s new? The system, which can be extensively customized and has a wide range of integrated inspection features, such as concentricity measurement; inner and outer diameter measurement; burr detection; label inspection; and automatic rejection of bad parts.
Benefits Uninterrupted production of defect-free parts.
