Quality Control & Inspection for Medical Products
Taymer has developed multiple solutions for applications in the medical industry, ranging from surface inspection of single, multi lumen tubes, catheters, and even braided tubing, to pill inspection, counting and color verification. We strive to provide new and innovative ways of ensuring your medical products are flawless and up to industry standards.
We provide inline and offline proven solutions. Please reach out to us via our contact form if you have any questions or would like to discuss your unique application in details.
Medical Tubing Inspection
The SI3100-MED is a specially designed version of the SI3100 for the medical tubing industry. This version includes special lighting and programming to detect gels, voids, bubbles, holes, discolorations and other critical defects.
The Surface Inspector for medical tubing (SI3100-MED) is the only tool that can capture, analyze, and judge every square millimeter of your medical tubing product. It is the most thorough method of detecting surface flaws available. With Taymer’s Surface Inspector, you can be sure the product going to your customers meets your high standards and is without surface defects.
Inline Braid Inspector
Offline Braid Inspector
Taymer’s braid inspector is a professional measurement of braid density, also known as pick count or picks per inch (PPI) for braided catheters, medical catheters, stents, cables, and other braided products for quality assurance and reliable automated production – Contact us today.
Automated Offline Catheter Inspection
Speed up time-consuming offline catheter inspection with the MEDX-5100. The system is the solution to the material handling challenges and the timely and unreliable factors of manual catheter inspection – Contact us today.
Pill Counting and Inspection
Taymer’s table-top Pill Counter, PL500, is a camera-based solution for defect verification and unit count. This system can automatically and instantaneously identify and confirm the number of expected pills poured onto the tray.
Our Pill Counter equipment uses a high-speed camera to capture high resolution images in order to distinguish pill shape, size and count. The images are enhanced, magnified and displayed on the console for easy operator verification and interaction. The PL500 will save operators time and prevent possible miscounts.
This application can also be implemented inline.
Custom Applications for Medical Anomalies Detection
Taymer’s SI-MED series is specially designed for the medical tubing industry. These units include modified lighting modules and high speed cameras to detect critical defects and anomalies such as gels, voids, bubbles, holes, and discolorations. Our multi-camera solutions are currently used on production lines extruding with Silicone, PE, PEEK, PTFE, TPE and more.
Taymer’s vast experience with designing and implementing custom solutions give our systems the high-level performance needed, all while maintaining industry standards and regulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is medical tubing inspected for surface defects?
Inline or offline surface inspection systems, like Taymer’s SI3100-MED, use high-resolution imaging and specialized lighting to detect gels, voids, bubbles, holes, and discoloration across the full circumference of medical tubing.
How is braid density measured on braided catheters?
Braid density (pick count, or picks per inch) is measured with a dedicated braid inspection system, available as an inline unit for continuous monitoring or a tabletop unit for offline spot checks.
What’s the difference between inline and offline medical inspection systems?
Inline systems inspect product continuously during production, catching defects in real time. Offline (tabletop) systems inspect samples or completed units after production, which suits lower-volume checks or spot verification.
Can pill counting and inspection be automated?
Yes — camera-based pill counters can automatically verify pill shape, size, and count, and can be deployed as a tabletop unit or integrated inline into production.
What medical products can Taymer’s inspection systems handle?
Taymer’s systems inspect single- and multi-lumen tubing, catheters, balloon tubing, braided products, and pills/tablets, in addition to wire, cable, pipe, tube, and 3D printer filament for other extrusion applications.
