Component Specifications

Definition
A specialized mechanical-electrical interface component designed to seamlessly connect conveyor systems within automated pharmaceutical vial inspection equipment. It ensures precise alignment, controlled transfer, and synchronized movement of vials between different inspection stations (such as visual inspection, weight checking, and labeling modules) while maintaining sterile conditions and preventing product damage.
Working Principle
Operates through synchronized servo motors and precision guides that control acceleration/deceleration profiles during vial transfer. Uses optical sensors and programmable logic controllers (PLC) to coordinate timing with adjacent conveyor sections, ensuring zero-gap transfer without jamming or back-pressure. Incorporates anti-vibration mounts and alignment pins for mechanical stability.
Materials
Stainless steel 316L (contact surfaces), anodized aluminum alloy (frame), FDA-approved polycarbonate (guards), silicone seals (ISO Class 7 cleanroom compatible)
Technical Parameters
  • Load Capacity Max 2kg per vial
  • Transfer Speed 5-30 vials/minute
  • Cleanroom Class ISO 14644-1 Class 7
  • Interface Width Standard 150mm or 300mm
  • Power Requirement 24VDC, 3A
  • Positioning Accuracy ±0.2mm
  • Operating Temperature 15-30°C
  • Communication Protocol EtherCAT, PROFINET
Standards
ISO 14644-1, ISO 15378, DIN EN 10088-3, FDA 21 CFR Part 211

Frequently Asked Questions

What maintenance is required for conveyor interfaces in pharmaceutical applications?

Monthly cleaning with IPA wipes, quarterly lubrication of guide rails with FDA-approved lubricants, and annual calibration of alignment sensors. All maintenance must follow cGMP documentation procedures.

How does this interface prevent cross-contamination between batches?

Incorporates quick-disconnect mechanisms for complete disassembly and sterilization. All contact surfaces are electropolished stainless steel with <0.8μm Ra roughness to prevent particle adhesion.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
