Semi-automated assembly machine for single-use medical devices

Prior to the market introduction of a range of innovative oncology products, ASM completed an automated assembly and testing pilot facility for a client located in Paris.

Objective: to validate a semi-automated assembly process for the medical sector

The objective here was to validate a semi-automated assembly process for companies specializing in single-use medical equipment. The aim was to achieve an initial rate of 600 parts per hour, with the ultimate goal being to offer a new machine capable of reaching a rate of 3,000 parts per hour, which ASM is fully capable of achieving (see other achievement). This machine is the first of its kind and now allows ASM to offer on the market a semi-automated machine for assembling connectors/sealing valves for the medical industry.
