Description Established in 1961, IMA is world leader in the design and manufacture of automatic machines for the processing and packaging of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, tea and coffee.

Its position of leadership is the result of significant investments in R&D, regular and constructive dialogue with the end-users in its sectors and the Group's ability to expand internationally, conquering new markets. Its history features a constant growth that has enabled the Group to close the year 2015 with consolidated revenues of over one billion euros (1,109.5 million euros), an increase of 29.8% over the previous year. Exports accounted for about 90%.

KOMED Linear High Volume
Our linear indexing platform - the KOMED Linear High Volume - is highly modular in concept and construction.  Based upon 1 meter long modules, the chassis can be constructed with 2, 3 or 4 sections. Tooling can be located on both sides of the machine - allowing  up to 104 stations on a single chassis.
Fixtures are accurately positioned at all times via a cam based indexing system, and stations can be mounted from the inside or outside of the fixture path. Index pitch can be either 100, 200, or 400 mm, with cycle rates going to below 1 second. Ideally suited for medical production environments, the system conforms to FDA and class 100'000 production requirements.
Perfectly adapted to medical device production, our assembly systems comply with all applicable GMP and GAMP5 norms, as well as to manufacturing standards for clean room environments (ISO class 8 - or 100'000 as a standard, other levels available on request).
- From 20 to 104 working stations
- Fully synchronised cam based indexing system for a smooth operation
- Index speed up to 75 cycles / min
 
Technical Data:
- Dual sided platform
- Reconfigurable, modular design, easy to maintain
- Unique, “3 sides open” fixture access
- Working stations can be installed either inside or outside the fixture path
- Fully synchronized cam based indexing system for a smooth operation
- From 20 to 104 working stations
- Index speed up to 75 cycles / min
- Pitch: 100, 200 or 400 mm
- Index to process ratios 90°/360°, 110°/360°, 120°/360°
- GMP ISO 7 clean room compliant

KEY PROCESSES
Our strategy is to focus on understanding the underlying processes that are essential in order to manufacture a product.  Whether its ultrasonic welding, heat staking, UV curing, or tube coiling - Komax Medtech has the experience and depth of understanding to seamlessly integrate the process into an assembly system.  We often get involved early in the product development effort in order to assist our customers in tuning and defining the process parameters, engineering “Proof of Principal” tools as part of a project – after all, the best assembly solutions are the ones that have already been proven to work. Our experience of over 45 years and hundreds of successful projects covers an extensive range of processes.
 
LEAK AND FLOW TEST
The measurement of a flow through an orifice or a leakage inside a volume is a requirement for many medical devices. Komax Medtech has developed its own solution with the process validation associated to perform fast and accurate tests integrated directly on the assembly line.
Application examples are:
- High pressure leak test up to 26 bar
- Flow test inside a spray channel to detect plastic molding flash particle
- Plume detection
- Micro-hole detection inside an urinary catheter

MARKING AND LABELLING
Komax Medtech offers custom marking and labelling solutions adapted to the product and customer requirements such as tampography/pad printing, ink jet or laser printing. The marking process can integrate dying process or plasma treatment if required.
