Speed, precision and cleanliness are the hallmarks of automation for medical and pharmaceutical applications. A recent project designed and built by SP Automation and Robotics was no exception.
Based in Dundee, Scotland, SP Automation has been designing and manufacturing automated machinery for the medical device industry for more than 30 years. Last year, a pharmaceutical company contracted with SP Automation to design and build an automated system to automatically load, fill, cap and label vials of medication at a rate of 45 parts per minute. The system would need to be operate in a clean room environment.
