Precision for health: metrological monitoring of insulin pen production with CEH measurement technology

The production of insulin pens requires maximum precision to ensure patient safety and functionality. CEH-Messtechnik offers customised solutions that can be integrated directly into production machines. Integration of CEH measurement technology into production processes Modern insulin pen assembly lines, such as those used by Gerresheimer or Sanofi require real-time control of critical parameters. CEH systems make this possible:

• Torque measurements on screw connections of the pen assemblies,
• Force measurements during the assembly of spring mechanisms and metering wheels,
• Calibration of the machine control system using reference measurements to minimise systematic errors

By integrating CEH sensors directly into the production machines, tolerance deviations can be recognised during the process before they lead to malfunctions

• CEH transfer standards as the backbone of quality assurance

CEH relies on national standards for the traceability of the measurement results:

• Transfer transducers with measuring ranges from 50 mN-m, which are insensitive to environmental influences such as temperature or humidity,
• DAkkS-calibrated systems for audit-proof documentation in accordance with pharmaceutical standards. These transfer standards are not only used for device calibration, but also for the validation of test stations, such as those used for the 100% inspection of insulin pens

While optical inspection systems (e.g. from VITRONIC) take over the visible defect detection.
