Automated assembly processes are key when it comes to joining the smallest and most highly sensitive components safely, reproducibly, and under controlled conditions. IMSTec focuses on maximum precision—from precise positioning to the final connection.

A central element is Active Alignment: components are aligned using sensors and cameras before they are joined. This ensures that components are positioned precisely relative to one another—in the micrometer range and in real time. This reduces tolerance chains, increases process stability, and creates the conditions for reliable, automated joining processes.

Joining technology as unique as the product

Based on precise Active Alignment, IMSTec implements a wide range of joining techniques proven in medical technology, tailored to the material, function, and regulatory requirements:

• Adhesive bonding for low-stress, material-friendly joints

• Laser welding for high-precision, clean, and reproducible joints

• Ultrasonic welding for fast, particle-free processes

• Laser spot welding for secure fixation prior to subsequent process steps

For particularly sensitive materials, we perform joining processes in a protective gas atmosphere to specifically prevent oxidation, particle formation, or material-related changes.

Quality you can measure—right from the start

Integrated quality controls, inline inspection systems, and continuous process monitoring ensure that deviations are detected early and prevented. The result: less rejects and maximum process reliability.

Especially in the series production of sophisticated medical devices, stable, validated joining of multiple components is essential. Automated assembly processes lay the foundation for scalable production concepts, from prototypes to high-volume series production.

A partnership that takes a holistic approach to processes

As an experienced machine builder and system integrator, IMSTec supports its customers throughout the entire value chain. Our range of services extends from process and system development through custom machine building to integration, validation, and long-term support during ongoing operations.

With solutions from a single source, we reduce interfaces, accelerate projects, and ensure that our customers receive optimal support at all times.

This results in automation solutions that not only impress technically but also sustainably combine safety, efficiency, and future-proofing in medical device manufacturing.
