X-ray inspection module for pre-filled syringe needles
Ensuring the integrity and sterility of pre-filled syringes requires precise inspection of needle geometry. Defects like bent needles or needle hooks can lead to safety issues during administration and affect overall product quality, especially with auto injectors.
Inspect needles with high-resolution x-ray imaging
The CUBE XRS 500 from Wilco is an advanced inspection module designed to enhance needle inspection after tip-cap assembly. It uses X-ray components to generate 360° high-resolution images, analyzed by cutting-edge image processing tools. This non-destructive process ensures defects are detected at high production speeds, with capabilities to inspect the length, inclination, and position of syringe needles. The module can be integrated into various syringe production lines and complies with GMP guidelines, ensuring reliable performance in aseptic environments. Its ability to detect minute defects makes it indispensable for maintaining the quality of sterile liquid pharmaceuticals packaged in pre-filled syringes.
