IMA AUTOMATION designs and manufactures advanced technology solutions for a ssembling components to be used in different fields of automation, such as the pharmaceutical and diagnostic industries.
Each device has its own unique challenges. With a range of standard platforms, linear and rotary, along with indexing and continuous motion assembly capabilities at our disposal, we are able to optimize the design to suit the individual needs of the assembly process, taking into account production requirements and at the same time optimising the available floor space in your clean room.
An entry point for assembly automation, the PILOT MED Low Volume platform is the highly flexible answer for customers seeking efficiency and cost effective assembly operations, with the chance to merge manual , semi and fully automatic work stations. The key reason behind this platform’s ultimate flexibility is its ability to integrate manual work stations and/or feeding positions, as well as semi and/or fully automatic stations . Tooling can be manually operated, cam driven, pneumatic and/or servo controlled, and can operate at speeds identical to those required for high volume production, thus transferring de risked validated technology directly to high speed lines.
A flexible platform for countless assembly requirements, the Linear MED indexing platform is a modular concept conceived for medical device assembly, compliant with the strictest norms and manufacturing standards.
With its unique, modular design enabling easy fixture access from 3 sides, the Linear MED indexing platform is based on one metre modules , allowing the chassis to be set up with 2, 3 or 4 sections.
Reconfigurable and easy to maintain, the assembly platform complies with all applicable GMP and GAMP5 norms, as well as manufacturing standards for ISO 7 clean room environments.
The ROTARY MED machine is comprised of a servo driven dial table unit designed to allow complete flexibility of the system configuration, including servo controlled pick and place mechanisms.
Assembly of between 2 and 5 components can be achieved through basic machine configuration. The unit can be merged with a second one by adding a specific transfer module which allows the preassembled parts to be transferred from one module to the other. On board , the electrical cabinet enables fast dismantling and installation of the system.
Developing a new medical device can be challenging. Your assembly processes have been tested manually. However, taking this to the next stage through automation posess a number of risks.
In this early stage of the medical device development our competent team of process engineers provide needed support in terms of proof of principles as well as design for manufacturing studies. We support you in designing your device from early stage development right through to high speed fully automated assembly lines to find the optimal solution. Our de risking approach from an early stage eliminates costly redesigns and delays later in the product’s transition from low speed to high speed automation.
