High-precision 3D printing gantry system for the pharmaceutical industry

This XYZ gantry system for the pharmaceutical industry is freely configurable in terms of number of axes, size and drive from the standard axes of the PLT series. This positioning system can thus be adapted to all printing tasks with extreme demands on accuracy and dynamics.Up to three customer-specific print heads can be adapted to the multiple crosshead for complex printing tasks. Optionally, the carriers can be equipped with cameras or sensors for integrated inline quality control.With submicron precision, you can print the spatial structure of a drug with high accuracy for immediate or delayed drug formulation and produce further individual combination preparations.

Ideal for flexible and automated 24/7 production

Ideal for pharmaceutical 3D printing with integrated quality control

Three freely configurable stages on the crosshead for individual printing and/or inspection task

High throughput due to traverse paths of 500 x 700 x 100 mm, expandable to 1000 mm

Very high repeatability up to 0.4 µm for 3D printing

Fully enclosed, pharma certified lubricants

Chemical resistant, wipeable surfaces

Optionally expandable:

Expansion with additional Z-axes for the integration of further print heads, cameras or sensors
Equipment with linear motors for speeds up to 2000 mm/s
Adaptation of travel paths for the production area
Safety enclosure
Base plate made of granite, aluminum or other materials
Customization of the printing process
Versions for clean room ISO 14644-1 (up to class 1 on request)
Bus-capable fully interpolating industrial controller for integration into almost any automation environment

Reliable standard components with modern safety, documentation and control concepts

The positioning system consists of the reliable linear stages of the PLT family, high-precision linear measuring systems and a modern motion control architecture. For decades, these components have met all requirements for accuracy and process reliability in different series.For documentation purposes, which are urgently required with the sensitive end product, the system is capable of logging, storing and outputting all operating and control parameters in real time with reference to the batch.This positioning system fulfills the safety concept according to Performance Level e.

Fields of application

3D printing processes in the pharmaceutical industry, Automated 3D printing of tablets, polypills, medicines, drugs, microparticles, polylactides, polyvinyl alcohol and ethylene vinyl acetate, hydrogels, UV-curable resins, solutions, wet granules
