Medical Industry: Emphasizing Laser Processing in Manufacturing for Health Tech Companies
Aerotech Showcases Innovative Motion Control Solutions at Medical Technology Ireland
Aerotech, a leading supplier of motion control solutions and positioning systems, is participating in the Medical Technology Ireland trade fair in Galway. The event, Europe's second largest and fastest growing for the design and manufacture of medical devices, provides Aerotech with an opportunity to showcase their innovative technologies to a specialist audience involved in the entire medical device supply chain [1].
At the fair, Aerotech will be highlighting the latest generation of the LaserTurn 160 Gen 2, a combined linear and rotary motion platform. This product showcases Aerotech's advanced laser processing capabilities tailored for medical technology manufacturers [1]. The LaserTurn 160 Gen 2 also includes an optional, simplified cable management system (CMS) and an ASR1300 rotation upgrade for higher processing speeds and precise production of tubes with diameters of up to 4 mm [1].
In addition to the LaserTurn 160 Gen 2, Aerotech will also be presenting the HEX150-125HL hexapod. Designed for maximum precision in positioning, the HEX150-125HL offers an outstanding solution for a wide range of high-tech applications, including electronics, photonics, automotive, mechanical engineering, and medical technology [2]. The HEX150-125HL has a maximum payload of 12 kg and motion ranges of up to 30 mm linear or 30° rotary per axis, making it suitable for demanding industrial and scientific applications [2].
Simon Smith, European Director at Aerotech, states that the HEX150-125HL enables more precise, faster, and more flexible movements in confined spaces [3]. The HEX150-125HL also has a sophisticated design with simplified cabling and improved kinematics, enabling outstanding dynamics and accuracy [3]. The HEX150-125HL is especially useful in quality assurance and measurement technology [3].
The HEX150-125HL can share components with the ANT130L and can be supplemented with optional elements such as a cost-effective alignment gripper [4]. Industries such as electronics, photonics, automotive, mechanical engineering, and medical technology benefit from the high precision and dynamics of the HEX150-125HL [4].
Aerotech supplies manufacturers worldwide with components and complete subsystems, making them a valuable partner for both large manufacturers and many medium-sized production companies and SMEs in the medical technology sector [5]. The organisers have opted for smaller, standardized exhibition stands to enable smaller medical technology manufacturers to participate [6].
The Medical Technology Ireland trade fair is aimed at the entire medical device supply chain - from development to the finished product. Aerotech's participation in this event provides them with a unique opportunity to connect with a broad spectrum of customers, including large manufacturers, medium-sized companies, and SMEs, in Europe’s major trade fair for medical device design and manufacture [1].
