Innovative Joining Systems for the Medical and Pharmaceutical Industries

Assembly presses are frequently used in the medical and pharmaceutical industries as they offer high precision and reliable quality assurance, which is particularly essential for safety-critical products.

One application example is the quality-controlled crimping of electrodes on pacemakers. Here, the electrodes must be reliably connected to the pacemaker housings, as any incorrect connection could impair the function of the life-saving device. By using assembly presses, this process can be monitored and the correct force and position checked to guarantee a secure connection.

Another example is the assembly and testing of 3-way stopcocks (3-arm plugs). These components are often used in medicine for the controlled flow of fluids. Assembly presses ensure precise assembly and at the same time test the functionality to ensure that the valves are tight and function correctly.

When crimping crimp sleeves, for example during the production of medical cables or connections, assembly presses ensure that the sleeves sit firmly and securely on the cables. These connections are crucial for proper electrical conductivity in medical devices.

The assembly of pens, such as insulin pens, also requires the utmost precision, as these devices must enable users to administer exact dosages. Assembly presses ensure that all parts such as needles, counters and housings are assembled precisely to guarantee functionality.

Assembly presses also optimise the assembly of injectors, as they ensure that the injection mechanisms are assembled correctly and that patient safety is guaranteed.

Pressing plastic housings onto syringes requires precise application of force to ensure that the housings are firmly seated and no leaks occur. Assembly presses allow the pressing force to be distributed evenly to maintain the integrity of the syringes.

The functional testing of syringes is another area of application in which assembly presses ensure that the syringes are working correctly, for example by checking whether the plunger moves smoothly and whether leaks are guaranteed.

Finally, assembly presses can be used to test mechanical counting devices on inhalers. These counting devices are important for patients to know the remaining number of inhalations. Assembly presses test the function and correct assembly of these mechanisms to ensure a reliable display.

Overall, assembly presses play a crucial role in the medical and pharmaceutical industries to ensure the functionality and safety of vital devices and applications.
