Diagnostic Strip Making MachinesOur test strip manufacturing machines are designed to meet the high levels of accuracy required in the diagnostics market. Our diagnostic strip manufacturing machines are modular with a balcony design. All stations are mounted on rails on the machines back plate. As a result the stations can be moved for new sizes. All drives are separated from the product area according to GMP guidelines. Web guidance and web advance is critical to accuracy manufacture of diagnostic strips as a result we use servo drives to track these movements. The test strip manufacturing machines accurately control web tension control for highly precise strip manufacture. The complexity of many diagnostic strip manufacturing projects demands total project management from proof of principle equipment through to high speed production machine build, validation and risk assessment.
