Processes
Our strategy is to focus on understanding the underlying processes that are essential in order to manufacture a product. Whether its ultrasonic welding, heat staking, UV curing, or tube coiling – Komax has the experience and depth of understanding to seamlessly integrate the process into an assembly system. We often get involved early in the product development effort in order to assist our customers in tuning and defining the process parameters, engineering “Proof of Principal” tools as part of a project – after all, the best assembly solutions are the ones that have already been proven to work. Our experience of over 40 years and hundreds of successful projects covers an extensive range of processes. Just to name a few:
- needle feeding
- catheter tip forming
- ultrasonic and laser bonding or welding
- UV curing
- heat based curing
- tube coiling
- volumetric dispensing of liquids
- intelligent vision and in-process inspection systems
- flow and leak test
- force or torque measurement
- electrical resistance check
- weight measurement
- bar code printing and recognition
- riveting
- labeling, printing, hot-stamping
- feeding and handling
- packaging, palletizing, bagging and packing
Komax Medtech will evaluate any new process requirement that your project requires.
Automatic Assembly Solutions for Medical Devices

Coiling processes. The assembly lines maintain a high throughput rate without ever letting the tension on the tube exceed critical levels. The system is fast, modular and flexible. It can be configured for different tube sizes, number of turns and coil diameters. (Example in photo: coiling module for medical tubes) |

Surface treatment. In many instances, surface treatments such as plasma or corona discharge is required to ensure the optimal performance of medical devices. Integrating these complex processes is a major challenge, given the limitations imposed by the materials themselves. (Example in photo: Plasma treatment) |

Quality controls. The best way to ensure 100% quality is to test products during assembly. The optimal integration of checking processes (e.g. measuring force and flow rates, testing for leaks, etc.) in a validated production environment makes exacting demands on the corresponding subsystems. (Example in photo: strength test) |

Dosing The precise positioning of fluids has a great influence on the overall quality of the device involved. Komax has at its disposal extensive know-how in microdosing systems (accurate to 50 picoliters), volumetric systems for use with adhesives and spraying systems for silicone coating needles and other surfaces.
