THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO MECHANICAL TESTING AUTOMATION IN BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS

The biomedical manufacturing industry has grown substantially in recent years due to unprecedented demand for medical consumables and safety equipment. This highly regulated industry has stringent requirements for quality and safety, and the upward trend in demand is putting pressure on testing labs responsible for validating the quality and safety of biomedical products. This guide examines how laboratories can help meet this challenge by introducing automation to their mechanical testing programs.

Automated testing systems are well-suited to the biomedical testing environment. They perform tasks consistently while removing the variability associated with human operators, and keep operators safe from hazardous materials and objects being tested, such as syringe needles. Automation systems are available in several different configurations ranging from simple two-axis stages to six-axis cobots. Each lab must assess its individual needs and explore the best solution for their specific application.
