Key Applications
Power/mation provides support for your medical device and pharmaceutical operations.
Packaging
Power/mation supplies you with the components you require for sensitive product applications requiring aseptic packaging. Light-duty robotics can work alongside humans to package delicate or small parts. Thorough air preparation in your pneumatics process can help keep your packaged goods sterile during the whole procedure.
- Specialize in secondary packaging after raw materials are processed into product
- Precisely process finished goods for multi-step packaging
- Sensors to accurately place product and verify presence
- Advanced algorithms to increase productivity
Tracking, Traceability, & Serialization
Quickly identify and address issues in your supply chain or product quality to minimize the impact to your process. Trace a product in real time as it moves through your plant. Power/mation supplies RFID tracking, bar code scanners, and product marking equipment to aid you in managing your production or prototyping.
- Log production data and analyze to continuously improve quality
- Collect batch data for traceability
- Laser marking devices to identify products using sensors to verify a quality mark
Device Assembly
Medical device assembly places high demands on precision, accuracy, and small size. Power/mation has experience collaborating with device manufacturers that face these challenges. Power/mation supplies micro grippers, small precision focused actuators, micro valves, sensors, and many automation solutions to meet these unique demands.
- Precision robotics and tooling for your light-duty assembly operations
- Vision inspection
- Collaborative robots to work alongside humans
- Servo press solutions for highly repeatable press forces in precision assembly
- Certified Safety Machine Expert (CSME) on staff to consult on safety components
Filling & Dispensing
Power/mation can assist in all aspects for general automation needs for filling and dispensing applications. This includes presence sensing, positioning, counting, and speed control with electrical components. Mechanical components can provide motion, robotics, power transmission, and actuation needs.
- Ultrasonic sensors for level detection
