Endotracheal tube assembly
Multi-component assembly with in-line verification.
Industries / Medical & Pharmaceutical
Medical & Pharmaceutical
Quality-critical medical products are assembled from small components at high volume, and every unit has to be proven rather than sampled.
The approach
Designed around the product.
VEEMAP engineers product-specific automation for medical device and pharmaceutical assembly: feeding, orientation, joining, testing, inspection and traceability designed around one product and its variants.
Solution families
IV drip chamber assembly
Component feeding, joining and leak verification.
Spine-needle assembly
Precision handling and assembly of fine components.
Insulin-pen assembly
Multi-part device assembly with functional test.
3-way and 2-way valve assembly
Orientation-critical assembly with flow verification.
Pilot-check-valve assembly
Small-component assembly with functional checking.
SWDT and related device assembly
Device assembly where the product terminology is supported by the source record.
Process orchestration
Step 01Component feeding and orientation
Step 02Assembly and joining
Step 03Curing or gluing where the product requires it
Step 04Functional and leak testing
Step 05Vision and dimensional inspection
Step 06Reject handling and final part transfer
Quality and data layer
Proven at the station.
01Vision inspection at the station rather than at the end of the line02Leak and functional testing built into the sequence03Dimensional checking on characteristics that matter to the device04Controlled reject handling with a recorded reason05Traceability tied to the part rather than to the batch
Flexible production.
Variant handling designed in from the start, so a second product size is a changeover rather than a rebuildControlled changeover with tooling that locates positively instead of being set by eyeModular stations, so a process step can be added or replaced without redesigning the machineRecipe-driven parameters held in the controller rather than written on the machine
What the line reports.
A machine that assembles a quality-critical device should be able to say what it is doing. Production state, counts, inspection results and station health are collected at the machine and presented in a VEEMAP-built dashboard rather than left on a controller screen.

Illustrative data. These values are authored to show what a VEEMAP production dashboard reports — line state, good and reject counts, first-time inspection pass rate, output trend and per-station health. They are not measurements from a delivered system and are not a performance claim. A dashboard built for a real line reports the same categories against that line’s own data, under the plant’s firewall policy.
