CASE STUDY: SOLVING A COMPLEX CAP CLOSURE CHALLENGE

HOW ITERATIVE ENGINEERING AND THE EPSON C4 SIX-AXIS ROBOT DELIVERED A ROBUST, MAINTENANCE-FREE CAP CLOSING STATION FOR A GLOBAL MEDICAL DEVICE OEM.

Tessy Automation was awarded the largest piece of equipment in company history by one of the world’s leading medical device manufacturers. The project centered on an automated assembly and inspection system for a medical vacuum filter a complex consumer-facing product requiring precision, speed, and reliability at every station.

While a machine of this scale presents numerous engineering challenges, the team encountered one that stood above the rest: closing tethered caps on the filter’s inlet ports in a way that was robust, repeatable, and fast enough to meet cycle time.
