The Filter Design Co (FDC) has boosted its volume filter manufacturing capabilities, applying its own automation expertise and sourcing robotic and linear motion technologies through R. A. Rodriguez (UK) FDC's automation, incorporating a Universal Robots UR3 table-top robot complete with Robotiq 2F85 gripper, has quadrupled output, reduced manning hours, increased consistency and reduced adhesive waste in glue dispensing operations for a respiratory filter. In a separate application, also automated by FDC, an IEF Werner three-axis domiLINE has provided similar benefits on a 12-station spinning machine for the production of cylindrical filters.
