Syringe needle inspection module for pre-filled syringes
Ensure precise needle geometry with high-speed X-ray inspection, detecting defects such as bends and hooks in pre-filled syringes to maintain sterility and integrity.
Inspects Syringe Needles for Defects
The CUBE XRS 500 from WILCO AG is an X-ray-based inspection module designed for precise evaluation of syringe needle integrity in pharmaceutical manufacturing. This state-of-the-art equipment integrates high-resolution X-ray imaging with 360° sample rotation to detect defects such as bent needles and needle hooks. Catering to industries like pharmaceutical and biotech, it ensures the sterility and safety of pre-filled syringes used in applications like insulin and epinephrine auto-injectors. Operating at production speeds of up to 500 syringes per minute, the CUBE XRS 500 fits seamlessly into syringe production lines. Compliant with GMP guidelines, it supports data handling per 21 CFR part 11 and offers toolless format changeover, making it suitable for aseptic environments. The system’s ability to be integrated into WILCO’s Automated Visual Inspection (AVI) systems further enhances its versatility and ensures comprehensive quality control in sterile liquid pharmaceuticals production.
