We can optimize your plant or project with a variety of skills and processes to innovate and improve your production. From off-the-shelf and easily integrated to highly-customized and leading edge, we’re the partner to help you meet the need and achieve the goal.

Capabilities

Automated capture of inspection images, combined with classification of these same images by trained operators, sets the stage for developing machine learning algorithms. Inspections previously thought difficult to automate and validate may now be candidates for AI/ML

Precision Dispensing (ml, ul, pl)

Automated, high-throughput, ultra-low volume dispensing from pico litres to nano litres, suitable for laboratories and production. Highly accurate, highly reproducible micro dosing vital to consistently high standards of production

Clean high-speed part conveyance

Transfer system for cleanrooms – intelligently integrated, end-to-end automation to link handling system for downstream stages of assembly

Small Parts Feeding

Designs for reliable feeding and orientation of small or lightweight parts; particularly effective for safely transporting small, unstable parts that cannot be fed in bulk

Mold Tending

Custom, high-speed robot solutions provide flexibility for material handling. Designed to optimize system layout, part transfers happen within a multiple shot mold or between multiple machines

Tube Handling and Joining

ATS has standard assembly machines for medical devices that require tube handling and joining (example tube sets)

Filter and Foil (Feeding and Punch)


Automated systems for de-reeling filter or foil materials through punch/die sets.  Punching dies are interchangeable.

Custom specifications available to meet customer requirements.

Plastic Joining Technologies (Ultrasonic Welding, Laser Welding, Adhesive Dispense)

We work hand in hand with the manufacturers of welding equipment to ensure seamless integration for this challenging process. Perfect weld seams and spots for products that function correctly, reliably and without leakage

Cleaning (Ultrasonic, Plasma, Chemical Bath, CO2)


Tubes are washed in a closed-cycle chamber, with up to 80% of water being returned. For purity, multistage filtering technology, capable of removing particles 0.2 μm in size. Can be followed by siliconization. Tubes are dried at a controlled temperature

Curing (UV, LED, Thermal)


LED and ultraviolet light-cured adhesives, able to tolerate steam sterilization, are ideal for consumable medical devices like tube sets, pen needles, autoinjectors, and glass syringes

Cannula and Needle Handling, Bending, Tipping and Swaging

Injection products, such as safety syringes and IV catheters, must be precision manufactured. Tip forming comprises precisely shaping the tube around the cannula. The correctly-oriented needle is directly transferred to the cannula hub for maximum precision

API Handling (Lyo, Powder, Reagent)

Mitigate the risk of microbiological contamination and product adulteration, while protecting the operator. Isolators and automated processing create a safe, aseptic environment that maintains separation between product and people

Marking (Labeling, Inkjet, Pad Printing, Thermal Transfer)

We use various printing technologies for marking on a variety of materials. Some methods also support multiple colors, and can guarantee the accurate positioning of the product required for perfect results.

Testing (Functional and Leak Test)

Standard and custom solutions for manual or fully automatic tests; pressure decay, differential pressure, mass flow, helium Dual stage vacuum to evacuate the DUT and test chamber resulting in improved cycle times

Data Validation (Track and Trace)


Collected data and reports can be accessed in real time and used to fine tune operations and for electronic batch record purposes. In-process or finished product samples for quality control can be safely retrieved while maintaining complete traceability

Environmental Control (Temp, Humidity, Particulate, ODE, Hazardous)

Protective environments from classified rooms to RABS, isolators and aseptic automation that meet CGMP guidelines. Ergonomics, safety and performance with a combination of isolation technology and off-the-shelf process equipment integrated in a single unit

Kitting


Finishing steps such as kitting, cartoning, and case packing are necessary before distribution, marketing, and end customer use. Our portfolio of solutions includes primary and secondary packaging

Cartoning


Vertical, horizontal and top loading cartoners and fully automatic box feeding for a huge range of packaging applications including bottles, tubes, blisters, jars, and pouches

Flow Wrapper

Integrated equipment to package products into a sealed bag. Form film into a flexible package for a wide variety of products to be packed either separately or on a tray

Disinfection

FDA-validated process systems integrating sterilization equipment for devices and pharma products. Aseptic/sterile material handling with robotics, and packaging processes including autoclaves and gamma radiation sterilization systems

AMR Solutions

Vertical, horizontal and top loading cartoners and fully automatic box feeding for a huge range of packaging applications including bottles, tubes, blisters, jars, and pouches

Palletizing

Turnkey robotic solutions that are highly flexible, scalable and innovative for assembly, palletizing, packaging and more
