Last year an American company was producing 600,000 COVID-19 vaccine vials daily using 11 injection moulding machines. Zahoransky AG of Freiburg was tasked with delivering 11 lines with 120 image processing systems and 53 robots in the shortest time possible to automate the machines.

Producing the nano-coated cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) vaccine vials on injection moulding machines was not the biggest challenge: each of the 11 machines used in the final configuration produces 10 vials every 17 seconds. But before they receive the final nano coating, the vials must undergo numerous process steps immediately after production. For its automated lines, Zahoransky required a total of 53 4-axis and 6-axis robots in just a few weeks. As a leading provider of robots to the pharmaceutical and medical industries, Stäubli was a clear choice for this large order. The delivery of robots in such a short time was a real challenge for Stäubli, especially given the reduced hours due to the coronavirus. In order to fill the order, Stäubli used robots originally intended for its own internal training and presentation cells.
