Based in Northbrook, IL, Concep Machine Co. has been designing and building custom automated assembly systems for the medical device manufacturing industry since 1967. The company has built automation systems to assemble and test drug delivery devices, such as syringes and cartridge pumps; IV components and tubing sets; IV pouches; catheters; cannulae; and diagnostic cassettes.
In particular, Concep excels at building cam-controlled, synchronous assembly machines. Using precision-cut cams to control tooling motions offers the highest repeatability and reliability. By driving all cams with a common drive, these machines offer the highest efficiency or lowest cost to operate. Cam-actuated machines provide a lower mean time between failures than any other means of process automation.
