With nearly 50 years of experience, R+D Automation designs, builds and maintains custom automation machines for medical device manufacturers. We handle the assembly, labeling, inspection, testing and packaging of single-use health care devices, from a single process station to multi-step lines that run several components or product variants.

What we automate

• IV Bags: assembly, printing, inspection and stacking, with RF welding
• Fluid Filters: filter punching and housing assembly, with ultrasonic welding and vision inspection
• Sharps Containers: assembly and printing, interfaced directly to the injection molding machine
• Pump Cassettes: ultrasonic bonding and pressure decay leak testing
• Catheters: ultrasonic cutting and catheter processing
• Syringes: assembly, vision inspection, labeling and packaging
• Syringe Filling: aseptic filling and capping in an ISO 5 environment, followed by labeling
• Inhalers: ISO 7 sub-assembly, transferred to ISO 5 for filling
• Auto Injectors: assembly, labeling and final packaging

We also build systems for the biotech sector, including diagnostic test kits, lateral flow testing and radioactive vial filling.

Processes we master

Ultrasonic welding, radio frequency (RF) welding and laser bonding, plus in-line labeling and packaging, backed by high-resolution vision inspection and pressure decay leak testing. Labeling is a particular specialty on syringe lines. We integrate proven technologies wherever we can, which speeds up development and makes the finished machine more reliable.

Built for regulated production

Every machine is built to the quality standards the industry demands, complying with GAMP 5 (Good Automated Manufacturing Practice), ISO 9001 and FDA regulatory requirements.

See it in practice

• Infusion Pump Cassette Assembly Machine: welding, vision inspection and leak testing in one system
• Automatic IV Bag Making Machine: fully automatic bag making
• Auto Injector Assembly & Labeling Machine: high-speed assembly and labeling of auto injector components
