The average life expectancy is increasing. Thanks to automated production, more effective and affordable medications and therapies are made available to a wide range of patients. From June 19 to 20, 2018, the leading international trade fair automatica in Munich will show how economically and efficiently pharmaceutical and medical products can be produced today.

The development seems unstoppable: Automation pervades all areas of production of pharmaceutical and medical technology and leads to new process quality with positive effects for patients and staff. Producers and plant engineers in close collaboration are succeeding again and again in finding new, efficient automation solutions for the most demanding manufacturing procedures that were previously considered as non-automatable.

An example of this comes from Italy. The system house Elettrosystem succeeded in creating a world first with the realization of a complex system for the difficult mounting of spiral tubes. The spiral tube is a special hollow probe used in anesthesia and intensive care medicine. In the past, it was not feasible to mount a fine screw spring made of steel on a PVC tube and coat the component with adhesive. The challenges were in distributing the spring coils uniformly as well as in handling the two flexible components.

The world's first facility for the partial assembly of four spiral tubes simultaneously consists of two mirror-image designed cells, in which four precise Stäubli six-axis robots handle complex tasks. The spring is mounted in an integrated process cycle, which is linked via linear systems.

Gerald Vogt, Group Division Manager at Stäubli Robotics, is as enthusiastic about this premiere as of the dynamics of the complete industry: “As a robotics market leader in the field of pharmaceuticals and medicine, we experience again and again how automation advances into new areas despite strict restrictions, certification and validation requirements, consequently enabling medical progress for everyone. We are already looking forward to automatica 2018, because the new technology developments of many exhibitors there set the course for further quantum leaps in life science applications.”
