Syringe needle inspection module for pre-filled syringes
Pre-filled syringes are commonly used for sterile liquid pharmaceuticals. Ensuring needle geometry compliance is critical to maintaining product integrity and sterility during manufacturing. Deviation in needle specifications can lead to integrity issues, especially in auto-injector applications.
Inspect syringe needle geometry and detect defects
The CUBE XRS 500 is an X-ray-based inspection module developed by Wilco for the non-destructive inspection of needles in pre-filled syringes. This system inspects syringe needle geometry, detecting defects such as bent needles and needle hooks. The handling unit rotates syringes to provide a 360° view, producing high-resolution images analyzed with advanced image processing tools. Capable of integration into syringe production lines, the CUBE XRS inspects various needle attributes, including length, inclination, and position. Designed in compliance with GMP guidelines and 21 CFR part 11, it supports multiple syringe sizes and operates up to 500 units per minute.
