Injection Pen Assembly Line — Pre-Assembly and Final Assembly Solutions

 

Product Introduction

 

 

Manufacturing an injection pen at commercial scale requires two distinct but interconnected production stages. Pre-assembly transforms molded plastic components — pen bodies, dose selectors, clutch mechanisms, and drive sleeves — into a structurally complete pen body. Final assembly integrates the drug-filled cartridge into that pen body, sets the dosing mechanism, performs force-controlled joining, and verifies device function through 100% inline testing.The engineering challenge is not building two separate machines.

 

It is ensuring that both stages share a unified control architecture, a common data backbone, and consistent process parameter management — so that a deviation detected at final assembly can be traced back to its root cause in pre-assembly without cross-referencing disconnected systems.

 

DROFEN provides both stages as a unified platform: Siemens S7-1500 controllers, Profinet communication backbone, electronic camming for motion synchronization, and a single audit trail architecture covering every station from first component pick to final functional test.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Key Advantages & Features

 

 

Our pen injector equipment is designed to improve production stability, process coordination, and quality control across both pre-assembly and final assembly stages.

 

Advantage
Description
Unified Control Platform
Siemens S7-1500 + TIA Portal + WinCC across both pre-assembly and final assembly. One engineering environment, one validation package for the entire production chain.
Production Speed
Up to 160 pens per minute for both pre-assembly and final assembly stages (product-dependent).
Servo-Driven Motion
Rexroth IndraDrive servo axes with electronic camming. No pneumatic cylinders in quality-critical operations. Deterministic, repeatable motion profiles at every station.
Inline Process Monitoring
Burster Digiforce 9307 force-displacement monitoring and Keyence vision inspection at critical assembly points. 100% inline verification — no sampling.
21 CFR Part 11 Data Integrity
Five-element audit trail (timestamp, user ID, initial value, new value, mandatory comment) stored in tamper-proof database. Electronic signatures with dual authorization for critical parameter changes.
Project-Specific Configuration
Line length, station count, number of servo axes, and test depth are configured per pen platform and production volume. From pilot-scale to full commercial production.
 

 

 

Product Types

Our Pen Injector Assembly Lines are categorized for versatile applications, from basic to advanced configurations:

Pen Injector Pre-assembly Equipment

Automated assembly of molded plastic components into structurally complete pen bodies. Servo-driven feeding, snap-fit insertion, ultrasonic welding, and force-controlled pressing at up to 160 ppm. Station count configured per pen platform.

01

Pen Injector Final Assembly Lines

Cartridge integration, dose calibration, force-controlled joining, and 100% mechanical functional testing at up to 160 ppm. Rexroth servo drives with electronic camming — zero pneumatics in the critical assembly path.

02

Inline Functional Testing Modules

Burster Digiforce 9307 force-displacement monitoring, Keyence vision inspection, and mechanical function verification — integrated into the assembly line as dedicated stations, not bolted on afterward.
