n Cobots
ABB, Zurich, Switzerland, has expanded
is collaborative robot (cobot) portfolio.
The new GoFa™ and SWIFTI™ cobot families
offer higher payloads and speeds.
These stronger, faster and more capable cobots are designed to
expand the company's high-growth segments including healthcare.
GoFa and SWIFTI are intuitively designed so that customers
need not rely on in-house programming specialists. They assist
workers with tasks including material handling, machine tending,
component assembly, and packaging. MD&M West, Booth 4311

n Variable Dispense Pumps
Fluid Metering Inc., Syosset, NY, has introduced a
series of variable dispense pumps. The compact,
low-profile FVD series are designed to simplify fluidic
architecture. The series combines priming or
washing and a precise dispensing pump in a complete
package. The patented CeramPump® design
utilizes a single, dimensionally stable and chemically inert ceramic
" valveless " piston liner set for precise fluid control. This series provides
the ability to have a higher flow rate for priming the line and
automatically adjusts to a small dispense volume ranging from
liters to milliliters to microliters to accommodate the desired dispense
or flows for any application. MD&M West, Booth 2383

n Biocompatible 3D Printing Material
Advanced Laser Materials (ALM), Temple,
TX, has received certification of biocompatibility
for its PA 650 material. The nylon-based material
achieved ISO 10993 certification that officially
approves its use in applications that come
into contact with human skin, including surgical
cutting guides, splints, orthotics, gripper trays,
and more. The material is now available for powder-bed, roller-based
systems. The certification process entails specific tests that measure
reactivity, cytotoxicity, and sensitivity of the material. The pass/fail
process involves exposing test subjects to the PA 650 to ensure that
no negative reactions occur. MD&M West, Booth 3315

n PVC-Free Plastic Components
Raumedic, Mills River, NC, has developed
a range of components made from
alternative materials without plasticizers
that can be used in transfusions, for pump
applications, or in gravity kits for parenteral infusion systems, for
example. For medical and pharmaceutical tubing, the company
offers polypropylene and polyurethane, both of which are drug tolerable,
although their use must be considered on a case-by-case
basis before the products are developed. When a more cost-efficient
alternative to soft PP and PUR is needed, a newly developed
two-layer tubing made from EVA and styrene butadiene rubber
(SBR) could be an alternative to PVC. MD&M West, Booth 3058

Intro
Cov
n Braid Wire Accelerator Program
Ulbrich, North Haven, CT, has launched
a program to address the need for rapid
development cycles. The Ulbrich Braid
Wire Accelerator™ Program provides fast
and precise timelines and specific design
performance characteristics. Once an order is placed, a set of bobbins
is shipped directly from the manufacturing facility within 24
hours. Alloys currently offered are stainless steels, nitinol, L605,
MP35N, tungsten, and copper beryllium. The company plans to add
new materials in the future. Wire manufacturing capabilities can
reach as small as 0.0005 in. in diameter and include tight dimensional
and mechanical property control. MD&M West, Booth 1733

n Fluidic Pressure Controller
A time-pressure controller from Bürkert,
Huntersville, NC, has been developed for precision
dosing of microliter volumes for medical
and pharmaceutical applications. The
Type 8763 achieves high precision control of
low flow from approximately 1.2 ml/min and a response time in
milliseconds. The closed-loop controller ensures that stable dosing
of microliter volumes is provided even with minimal pressure difference
between dosing cycles. Repeatable dosing is supported
with active pressure relief for precise regulation, while bidirectional
control can increase or decrease pressure. controller is available
in three pressure ranges and both analog and digital variants.

n Heat Seal Coating
Amcor, Buffalo Grove, IL, has launched a new heat
seal coating technology designed to help medical device
manufacturers better mitigate risk for greater patient
safety. The ACT2100 heat seal adhesive for medicalgrade
DuPont™ Tyvek is available with a wide range of
companion materials. The next-generation coating
technology was engineered to meet growing customer demand. It
offers speedier ethylene oxide sterilization cycles thanks to the material's
improved porosity and features a fiber-free peel and a bright
white adhesive that does not yellow. MD&M West, Booth 2021

n Class VI Tubing
Qosina, Ronkonkoma, NY, has expanded its
Class VI tubing portfolio to include 50 new products.
Stock and custom tubing are packaged in
small coils for prototyping and extended lengths
for large-scale production requirements. More
than 150 off-the-shelf options in a variety of brands, types, diameters,
durometers, and materials, including PharMed® BPT,
SaniPure™ BDF™, Tuflux®, C-Flex®, Tygon®, and PharmaFluor®.
In addition, custom tubing configurations, including cut-to-length
pieces and custom coil sizes, colors, and materials, are also available.
