Medical and consumables medical catheter metered filling: conductive silver adhesive case study

Background

An equipment integrator / manufacturer in Medical and consumables needed to metered filling on a medical catheter using conductive silver adhesive.

Process challenge

Particle fillers settling and clogging after long idle periods.

Solution

We recommended Screw Valve + Sensor, with using a precision dispensing valve with suck-back and servo three-axis motion for uniform coating.

Result

• Setup time cut from 40 minutes to under 15 minutes.
• Shot volume 0.02 mL with deviation within ±2%.
• Cycle time 1.0 s per dot with no stringing or dripping during continuous running.
