Recently, the high-quality robot brand STEP announced that after rigorous testing and verification, its Zhongweixing SCARA robot has been recognized by a medical device head enterprise because of its high efficiency—the daily production capacity of a single machine can reach 600,000 nasal/pharyngeal swabs. Intelligent production line for nasal/pharyngeal swab packaging.
During the epidemic, people became more and more familiar with the thing like a cotton swab. It is about 15cm long and covered with flocking at the top. The product label is called "disposable sampler". Test tubes for antigen testing, known to medical professionals as "nasal/pharyngeal swabs."
The original artificial swab production line often uses manual cutting and loading and unloading. Workers take out the entire swab from the equipment, cut off the swab trim, and put it back on the packaging line. This link needs to be completed by 6-7 people. In this way, not only is there a large demand for manpower, but also workers need to repeat a single operation for a long time, resulting in low efficiency and unstable quality, making it difficult to meet the production needs of large quantities and high quality. At the same time, enterprises are faced with the dilemma of high labor costs and large turnover of personnel, and the upgrading of production line automation has become an urgent need for manufacturing enterprises.
At present, China consumes hundreds of millions of nucleic acid swabs every day, which puts forward very high requirements for the production efficiency of nasal/pharyngeal swabs. At the same time, manufacturing companies are actively promoting robot substitutions due to multiple considerations such as health safety and difficulty in recruiting workers.
· High positioning accuracy
· Large load, low noise
· Light weight, good rigidity
· Fast running speed
STEP Zhongweixing SCARA robot is equipped with high-level algorithm of robot dynamics, which greatly improves the running speed of the robot. It is used in the intelligent production line of nasal/pharyngeal swab packaging. A single machine can produce 600,000 swabs per day, and only 20 STEP SCARA robots are needed to meet the daily needs of a large city with a population of 10 million and help fight the epidemic with high efficiency.
