Medical injection devices — ranging from disposable injection pens for daily use by diabetic patients, auto-injectors for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, to convenient drug delivery devices in emergency scenarios — have extremely high requirements for assembly precision, efficiency, and safety. To meet the large-scale production needs of such medical products, Bosch subsidiary Moeller & Devicon has developed the MRA pen assembly machine. This fully automatic solution enables efficient and precise assembly of four-piece medical pens, becoming a key core in medical device production lines.
Core Capabilities of MRA: One-step Integrated Assembly and Efficient Quality Inspection
The core capability of MRA lies in “one-step integrated assembly.” Its feeding system accurately conveys pen caps, cartridge holders, cartridges, and metering devices from four independent stations respectively. Through collaborative operation, it completes the seamless assembly of the four components and finally outputs finished pens ready for direct use. The equipment adopts a multi-channel parallel processing design, capable of assembling 4 pens simultaneously with a maximum output of 70 pens per minute, significantly improving production efficiency. Meanwhile, the built-in intelligent detection system can automatically identify products with assembly errors and reject them in real-time, ensuring product quality from the source.
User-friendly Operation and Compliance Design: Adapting to Medical Production Scenarios
In terms of operation and compliance, the design of MRA fully meets the needs of medical production scenarios. The open structure makes the processes of each station clear at a glance, facilitating operators to quickly grasp the production status and simplifying daily operations and format switching. The automatic conveying and control modules between each assembly step minimize manual intervention and reduce the risk of human error. Equipped with an intuitive human-machine interface (HMI), operators can accurately monitor all process parameters to ensure stable and controllable production processes. In addition, its compact footprint and structural design fully comply with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and GAMP5 (Good Automated Manufacturing Practice Guide) standards, adapting to strict medical production environments.
Modular Flexibility: Building a Full-link Production Closed Loop
As a modular production platform, the flexibility of MRA further expands its application boundaries. It can seamlessly connect with upstream and downstream equipment to build a complete closed-loop production process for medical pens: the front end can be connected to liquid drug filling equipment (such as cartridge filling) and particle and container defect detection systems; the back end can integrate Moeller & Devicon’s labeling machines specially designed for pen-type devices, as well as fully automatic horizontal cartoning machines provided by Bosch or third parties, and can even extend to cartoning and palletizing links, realizing full-process automation from components to finished product delivery.
Summary: MRA Provides Dual Guarantees of Efficiency and Quality for Medical Injection Device Production
From precise assembly to full-link integration, Bosch MRA pen assembly machine provides dual guarantees of efficiency and quality for the production of medical injection devices through automation technology. It not only meets the needs of large-scale production but also becomes a key link connecting components and finished products in the medical manufacturing industry through compliant design and flexible adaptation.
