Winterthur, August 2021 – Injection molding is a widely used production process – but it presents a particular challenge for medtech device manufacturers: how to combine efficiency with process reliability? No easy task, especially as regulation in this sector is becoming stricter all the time. Kistler has the answer: its ComoNeo process monitoring system provides comprehensive quality assurance and maximum transparency, directly on the machine.
Producers and manufacturing companies in today’s medtech and pharma industries are faced with a multitude of requirements and regulations – with a constant flow of additional provisions such as the recently introduced amendment to the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) in the European Union. The MDR is intended to safeguard patient wellbeing, but it also obligates manufacturers to provide documented proof – presenting them with challenges that should not be underestimated.
The injection molding process is frequently used in the medtech sector to manufacture components and products such as inhalers, pen systems and syringes. Kistler offers ComoNeo to manufacturers as a holistic solution that will increase their product quality and process reliability. Based on the measurement of cavity pressure and temperature, this process monitoring system includes functionalities that ensure optimal efficiency combined with maximum transparency.
