Overview
The medical device industry plays a pivotal role in healthcare innovation, developing life-saving products that demand precision, consistency, and strict regulatory compliance. Efficient adhesive application is critical in manufacturing these devices, ensuring optimal performance and patient safety. UV-curable and cyanoacrylate adhesives are widely used for assembling components such as hypodermic needles, catheters, and drug delivery systems. However, achieving consistent and accurate adhesive dispensing remains a challenge due to the high production volumes and the precision required for medical-grade applications.
Customer Introduction
A heart and inflation device manufacturer based in Gujarat was using Loxeal 30-27, a medical-grade UV adhesive, to seal the threaded joints of pressure gauge. However, the adhesive’s effectiveness relied not only on its quality but also on the precision of its application during the assembly process.
Understanding the Problem
The customer identified a critical need for precise adhesive dispensing in small, specific bonding areas of inflation devices, which must meet stringent operational and quality standards essential for life-saving cardiovascular procedures like angioplasty. The manual dispensing process presented several significant challenges:
These challenges underscored the urgent need for a semi-automated dispensing solution to eliminate inefficiencies, reduce human errors, and deliver consistent, high-quality results essential for critical medical applications.
