Tobias Lacroix, Head of the Micro Injection Moulding Department, is completely satisfied with the new fully electric IntElect injection moulding machine from Sumitomo (SHI) Demag:

The six-axis articulated arm robot removes the finished test components from the four-cavity mould and then loads them onto a small load carrier. (Photo: Sumitomo (SHI) Demag)

Once the load carrier is completely filled, it disappears on the conveyor belt towards the assembly hall. The entire process is fully enclosed; dust and other contaminants have no chance. (Photo: Sumitomo (SHI) Demag)

During the active production, the process can only be supervised through a glass window. Under class 7 cleanroom conditions, the injection moulding machine, automation equipment, and assembly must not come into close contact with the operator. (Photo by Sumitomo (SHI) Demag)

At regular intervals, the machine operator takes samples of the quick test components, which are removed from the production process via the QS tray. These are thoroughly inspected by experts in the in-house test laboratory. (Photo by Sumitomo (SHI) Demag)

What appears to be a piece from the Museum of Modern Art actually shows the delicate channels and structures of a disposable rapid test – greatly magnified. (Photo: thinXXS) / This is not a work of modern art but a magnified image of the delicate channels and structures of a disposable quick test. (Photo by thinXXS)

Microstructures that can no longer be resolved with the naked eye are ejected from the injection molding machine with every shot. Each part is almost a clone of its predecessor. (Photo: thinXXS)
