ON-DEMAND: The medical device industry is continually challenged to meet rising quality standards and to comply with rigorous regulatory requirements. This challenge is made even more difficult when medical device manufacturers seek to market their products in other countries, which may have different regulations than the United States.

ON-DEMAND: With the explosive growth of the medical device industry and the widespread use of a large number of thermoplastic and thermoset plastics, better and faster curing adhesives have become a necessity for performance and productivity reasons.

ON-DEMAND: In order for companies to be successful in their robot automation efforts, it is essential that they consider the many different costs involved, such as equipment, system integration and support personnel, as well as fixed costs. At the same time, they need to take into account the numerous benefits of automation, such as improved quality, predictability and verifiability, all of which lead to increased competitiveness and greater market share.

ON-DEMAND: A major challenge for manufacturers using light cure adhesives is the ability to easily verify an adhesive’s degree of cure, and thus, speed production processes while improving overall quality.

ON-DEMAND: Piezoelectric jet dispensing systems combine high production speeds with exceptional deposit accuracy and process control. They permit adhesives, conductive epoxies, fluxes, lubricants and other assembly fluids to be jetted into hard-to-access areas or onto uneven or delicate substrates where a dispensing needle cannot be used.
