Gimatic Delivers Precision and Efficiency in Medical Tube Handling

Gimatic has successfully addressed a complex challenge in the medical manufacturing industry by developing a cutting-edge End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) solution for handling delicate medical test tubes.

The customer faced the demanding task of extracting 12mm diameter test tubes from an 8-cavity injection mold, where the tubes were positioned in extremely close proximity. This required a high degree of precision and dexterity from the automation system.

Gimatic's response was to deploy its compact and powerful SGP-S pneumatic grippers, which proved ideal for the tight working environment. These grippers, renowned for their force-stroke effectiveness, were able to handle the tubes with the necessary care and control. ?

To ensure accurate tube positioning, Gimatic integrated its PR-SN-HS programmable highly sensitive sensors. These sensors enabled the detection of three distinct positions within a short stroke, guaranteeing precise gripping and placement.

Furthermore, Gimatic's in-house 3D multi-jet fusion printer was utilized to create custom-designed fingers tailored to the specific requirements of the application.?

This advanced manufacturing capability, combined with Gimatic's serial number system, facilitated easy tracking and reproduction of each custom part, ensuring consistency and reliability.

This successful implementation showcases Gimatic's comprehensive approach to automation solutions. By combining state-of-the-art technology with a deep understanding of customer needs, Gimatic has delivered a solution that enhances efficiency, precision, and productivity in medical tube manufacturing.
