CT6 Cobot Configured for Auto-Injector Testing
Instron’s® CT6 can be configured as an automated solution for the required testing of auto-injection devices — providing the benefits of automation without the additional complexity of a fully automated testing system. Designed to accommodate auto-injectors with varying geometries, this system allows you to measure a variety of critical data points including cap removal, activation force, injection time, injection mass/volume, and lock out force of the needle shield — all within a single test method.

CT6 Cobot Configured for Syringe Testing
Instron’s CT6 can be configured as an automated solution for the required testing of syringes. Break loose and glide force testing constitutes the bulk of syringe testing and is used to determine the real-world forces required to operate the syringe. Cobots can be placed separately or in-lined to improve throughput and efficiency in both of these applications.
CT6 Cobot Configured for Torsion Testing
Instron's® CT6 automation platform can be integrated onto torsion-capable systems, increasing the range of applications. In the pharmaceutical industry, many container closures utilize threaded connections for preventing accidental separation. This system is evaluating the unscrewing torque for luer tip caps, defined by ISO 11040-4 Annex G.5. Introducing automation removes operator influence from misalignment and reduces the burden for the operator to load and unload the entire sample, allowing them to dedicate their time to more important tasks.
