Meditec / Oral care

Separation stations

Initial situation / challenge

The customer required separation stations for separating injection-molded products with cavity-specific placement. The removal process was to be carried out manually and nest-specific directly into bags or boxes.

Industry: Meditec / Oral care

Key requirements were:

Error-free product buffering and reliable handover to the operator
Provision of sample shots from all cavities for quality assurance
Reliable separation and removal of sprues and reject parts
Clear traceability of each part to its respective injection molding cavity

In addition, the available installation space was extremely limited. At the same time, the parts had to be provided to the operator ergonomically across multiple levels. Particularly with up to 64 cavities, preventing part mix-ups represented a critical challenge — especially in view of the strict quality and documentation requirements of the medical technology industry.

Solution / Implementation

The developed separation station guides the products through individually assigned guide tubes directly into the corresponding containers. This ensures a clearly defined and process-reliable part flow.

Cavity-specific separation through dedicated guidance of each individual product
Design engineered to prevent part jamming or accumulation
Separate discharge of sample shots and non-conforming (NOK) parts
Protective enclosure providing a secure interface between the injection molding machine and the handling system
Compact design combined with excellent accessibility for maintenance
System design can be adapted to multilingual operating and labeling concepts with minimal effort

Result for the customer

The solution enables complete traceability of each product back to its respective injection molding cavity.

The customer benefits from:

Highest process reliability
Significantly reduced risk of errors (no part mixing or blockages)
Ergonomically optimized part removal despite limited installation space
Simplified quality assurance
Flexible usability in international production environments
