Device Quality Inspection Machines
Fully automated high-speed vision inspection machines with integrated hopper, bowl feed and dial plate for precision quality control checks and sorting of devices, components and pharmaceutical products, fully validated to GAMP standards.
Ideal for automated quality control inspection and sorting of devices. From surface imperfections, shorts and flashing through to dimensional checks, shape quality and assembly conformance.
Vision Inspection Benches
Manual or auto-load inspection benches for semi-automated or manual and low volume manufacturing lines. Quality control and poka-yoke inspection for medical device products following assembly operations.
Non-contact measurement and inspection machines provide peace of mind for manufacturers by providing accurate scanning, inspection and reporting in one. Reports are generated for individual parts, giving full inspection history and validated results.
Semi-Automatic Inspection Machines
Semi-automatic visual inspection of ampoules, vials, bottles, cartridges and syringes. Automatic handling for visual quality control of pharmaceuticals. Designed to help an inspector with the presentation and pre-rotation of the product to reduce fatigue and allow large batches of products to be presented for inspection. All containers shapes and sizes can run on the machine.
Allows for the simultaneous inspection for many contamination criteria, including: dark contamination, particulate matter, glass defects, particles, fibres – as well as for cometic and container damage such as cracks, inclusions and air bubble. Highest standards in the quality control of pharmaceutical products, for high speed visual inspection.
In-Process Inspection Machines
Achieve precision assembly verification and conformance of your products to specification. Conveyor in-feed vision inspection machines designed for automated quality control following assembly and build operations in medical device manufacture.
IVS inspection machines utilise state-of-the-art machine vision technology to provide mission critical quality checks across the medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturing sector, making precise quality decisions automatically.
Contact Lens Inspection
Quality control for lens manufacturing. Adaptable 100% machine vision inspection systems for complete contact lens quality checks across the entire production floor. IVS provides tools to detect and mitigate unexpected quality shifts.
With adaptable HD cameras to provide inspection for all contact lens material types, IVS vision systems inspect at high precision, reviewing the raw contact lenses for flaws and defects in real time. Our vision systems are very easy to program, are highly accurate, offer easy maintenance and provide peace of mind in final contact lens quality acceptance.

More about medical device and pharmaceutical solutions
Quality Control in Medical Device Manufacturing.
Medical device production includes many aspects of the manufacturing of a medical device, from designing a manufacturing process, to scale-up, to ongoing process improvements. Production can also include the sterilisation and final packaging of a device for shipment.
While speed and cost-savings are vital to successful manufacturing, quality control is of the utmost importance — particularly as medical device market demands shift towards a more value-driven arena. IVS provide the tools for allowing quality to be built in to the process through the use of machine vision processes. Packaging validation, proving to the FDA that a product is sterile when it ships, is the final step, which again is normally checked by an automated vision system.
Many medical device manufacturers excel in the ideas, concepts, and prototyping phases of product development and outsource the production of components or entire devices to medical contract manufacturers. This is true of established original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as it is for mid-sized medical companies and start-ups. Contract device manufacturers vary in size and expertise, as well — some comprise small, precise operations specializing in particular materials or components, while others are massive cleanroom facilities equipped for large-scale production.
Whatever the size, all companies require validated, reliable machine vision solutions as a corner stone for production. Protecting brand, guaranteeing production efficiency, and delivering 100% quality to the customer and consumers. Trust IVS to help deliver your ideal production process.
