An YpsoDose® injection system has a number of different parts. The sterile inner workings, i.e. the medication path, are the centrepiece here. The pathway comprises a needle and a tube that are used to inject the medication. This medical device is subject to stringent requirements for quality and safety. In order to ensure compliance with the Ypsomed standards, Ypsomed needed a proven partner with reliable products. This is where Siemens stepped in.

The modular TS 2 booster from Rexroth combines the dynamics, precision and flexibility of linear motor technology for product transport with the capabilities of the TS 2plus transfer system, rounded out by top-performing Siemens products. The workpiece carriers can move freely and flexibly within and between workstations. They are mapped as a separate technology object in the TIA Portal, and all of the TIA Portal’s motion control functions are available. This makes it easy to obtain an optimal interaction between the workpiece carriers and other process axes such as conveyor tracking. Processes can be optimised in this manner while reducing the cycle times to a minimum.
