Emerging Innovations in Tube Set Manufacturing

Introduction Why are Innovations in Tube Set Manufacturing Important? Complicating the expected growth in demand in tube set markets, many suppliers are also experiencing a labor shortage due to the high operator counts (typically 150-200+ workers per shift to output at needed rates) and intense dexterity demands required of manual tube set assembly. In Mexico,

Long-Term Value and Support with Our Tube Set Assembly Platform

Flexible manufacturing platform Being built on the SuperTrak GEN3™ conveyance platform means that system modification and expansion is much simpler and cost effective. For example, should space be required to add additional tooling in order to manufacture a new product variant or increase capacity, the SuperTrak GEN3™ conveyance platform can be expanded by adding 1-meter

7 Things to Consider to Maximize Efficiency in Medical Tube Set Automation

Introduction In the world of medical tube set manufacturing (IV, dialysis, blood collection, infusion), end users are not willing to pay top dollar for what is considered a ‘disposable’ piece of the process versus the pumps, therapies, plasma, etcetera. Therefore, it is imperative that production costs are minimized at the onset of a new product

Exploring the Innovations Behind our Tube Set Assembly: Features That Make a Difference

Introduction When manufacturing medical tube sets, two of the most important factors to the manufacturer include output volume and product quality, both in terms of machine generated scrap (e.g. tube improperly inserted to connector and rejected by the machine) and product quality to the end user (e.g. no scuff marks on tubing, minimal particulate in

Top 10 Ways to De-Risk Automation

What to Do Before a Product Design is Locked Down Engineers know the frustration of designing a manufacturing process that is difficult to scale up or automate. Let’s say benchtop equipment was built to test an assembly process with equipment running at a slower rate to support manual loading, and the controller and servos were

Are Pre-Engineered Automation and High-Speed Assembly Mutually Exclusive?

The Case for Pre-Engineered Automation Systems Over approximately the last 30 years, the evolution of automated systems implemented to enable advanced manufacturing has led to the proliferation of the pre-engineered automated work cell/system. In turn, this has enabled significant growth in the global deployment of automated systems throughout all facets of global manufacturing, where virtually
