Discover how Cretex Medical partnered with machine builder Arimation Robotics to automate the delicate assembly of intravascular lithotripsy catheter components using the Meca500 6-axis industrial robot arm!
Replacing strain-heavy manual assembly under microscopes, this automated cell combines the Meca500 (sub-5-micron repeatability), an Asyril Asycube 50 flexible feeder with EYE+ vision, and a custom 0.1 mm wire-handling solution—reducing cell footprint to 1/4th of previous manual stations while boosting throughput and workforce health.
⚙️ Key Automation Cell Components:
• Robot: Meca500 6-Axis Miniature Industrial Robot (sub-5-micron repeatability)
• Part Feeding: Asyril Asycube 50 & EYE+ Smart Vision System
• Wire Handling: Custom 0.1 mm wire feeding & precision cutting mechanism
• Footprint: 75% space reduction compared to manual microscope stations
📌 Chapters:
[00:00] - Introduction to Cretex Medical & Medical Contract Manufacturing
[00:15] - Ergonomic Challenges of Manual Microscope Component Assembly
[00:37] - Need for Scalability in Catheter Component Production
[00:55] - Meca500 Sub-5-Micron Precision & Asyril Asycube 50 Integration
[01:21] - 4x Footprint Reduction & Scalability Benefits
[01:43] - Future of Miniaturized Medical Device Manufacturing
[01:55] - Solution Partners (Mecademic, Asyril, Arimation Robotics, Mechatronics)
