Assembly of diagnostic and medical devices

For the assembly of diagnostics and medical devices we offer you both modern, fully automatic assembly technologies and semi-automatic or manual assembly, which are primarily more affordable for smaller series. At Gerresheimer you will thus find a cost-optimal assembly solution for any product.

Especially for large series production of diagnostic products and medical products, automation coordinated precisely with the product, project and processes has a decisive influence on the quality and economic efficiency of production. The technicians, mechanics, electricians, designers and programmers of the Automation department are responsible for these tasks at our Technical Competence Center (TCC) in Wackersdorf (Germany). The 45-member team specifies, procures, qualifies, designs and builds systems for special machinery, automatic testing systems and loading and unloading handling, which are used at all of our production facilities in Europe, the USA, and Asia.

We conceive of and build assembly systems for the highly precise delivery and assembly of plastic and metal parts at the highest possible speed. Intelligent solutions for the delivery and separation of plastic and metal parts ensure damage-free, precisely positioned insertion of the parts to be assembled. Following removal, we suction out the receptacles in order to ensure clean assembly of each individual assembly unit.

Our assembly lines ensure the optimal surface quality of the products through assembly that is gentle with the visible surfaces and visual inspection for damage to the visual parts within the assembly system. A 100% in-process inspection of the assembly steps, the parameters critical for quality and the module and product functions takes place with a large number of intelligent camera systems and inspection stations in the assembly system. Gap-free documentation of the assembly processes ensures the traceability of all batches.

We assume responsibility not only for the assembly of plastic and metal parts, but also install the electronics necessary for the end device. For example, we assemble RFID chips, because the traceability of tests and the providing of information for the analysis device by way of the test to be carried out are continuously increasing in importance.

Particularly in the case of diagnostic and medical products, the highest requirements for quality apply, which is also reflected in the effort required for the assembly of the systems. We offer the cleanliness and quality requirements of the respective product in correspondence with all assembly steps in the clean room according to ISO 14644-1 ISO class 7, 8, 9 and GMP classes C and D.
