Automatic liner production line

surface

- Modular Design - Cleanroom class ISO 8 or higher - Line automation system - Wide product range - Fully automated plasma coating process - High resolution roughness measurement (0.1 µm) - Precise weighing application (resolution 1 mg) - Input- and output buffer for up to 120 parts - Intuitive HMI design - Automatic handling system The IMSTec Coating Line represents a highly flexible automated solution for surface treatment applications such as grit blasting and plasma spraying on orthopaedic implants. Parameters such as coating shape and surface measurement methods are product dependant and can be parameterised. An automatic part handling system maximizes the mean time to assist. IMSTec’s fully automated Hydroxyapatite (HA) coating system targets coating applications in particular for medical devices such as orthopaedic implants. The modular design provides flexible integration of the required process steps. Part quality is ensured by measurement stations such as weighing and roughness measurement. RFID tags within the part fixtures as well as data matrix codes on the samples guarantee full part traceability controlled by the line automation system. HMI touchscreens provide easy operator interaction. The flexible coating process makes the system able to handle a large variety of samples. For ease of use, with minimal user interaction, the coating process is embedded into an automatic handling system: The operator is only responsible for input and output of the parts which minimizes the error rate.
