X-ray inspection module for pre-filled syringe needles
Ensure sterility and product integrity in high-speed syringe production by detecting defects in needle geometry, crucial for auto-injector compatibility and preventing complications during medical applications.

Inspects Syringe Needle Geometry and Detects Defects
The CUBE XRS 500 from WILCO AG is an X-ray syringe needle inspection module designed to enhance precision in pharmaceutical production lines. This equipment ensures the integrity and specification compliance of needles in pre-filled syringes, crucial for safe usage in applications like insulin delivery and chemotherapy. It operates by rotating syringes 360 degrees during inspection, capturing high-resolution images analyzed by advanced vision systems to detect defects and assess needle geometry. Capable of integrating into existing syringe production lines and supporting high-speed operations of up to 500 units per minute, the CUBE XRS 500 meets GMP guidelines and 21 CFR part 11 compliance. Its toolless format changeover facilitates easy adaptation to various syringe sizes, making it ideal for sterile liquid pharmaceuticals and applications where sterility is paramount. Additionally, it is engineered for aseptic environments, featuring static optical paths and non-destructive testing methods, ensuring maintenance of product integrity and safety.
