Product showcase
can be easily adapted, scaled, and validated for customer requirements. It is the perfect tool for life sciences companies that allows them to: ■ Improve quality: Reduce manual touchpoints with automation of tasks, from file inspection and comparison to content management; add automation tasks seamlessly into the workflow process; and manage localisation for country and regional requirements, keeping all versions in sync.
■ Increase visibility and traceability: Centralise labelling and content, specifications, CCDS, product data, etcetera, into a single platform; create projects and tasks to organise work, timelines, and responsibilities for labelling creation visibility; and easily search for impact analysis (where used) and real- time views of current activity.
■ Reduce Risk: Reduce CAPA’s and recalls by validating to be compliant with requirements, such as GMP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, Eudralex EU GMO Annex 11 guidelines, and electronic signatures (ERES); and create a systematic approach to support processes for version control for both files and content.

A unique process
ESMA offers a unique approach to automating the ultrasonic cleaning process – it moves the fluids, not the parts. By transferring liquids to a single ultrasonic process chamber from individual heated storage tanks. These tanks are designed to reuse and filter the detergents, acids and rinse water. This approach has been particularly effective in cleaning applications that use dangerous chemicals, such as those used in passivating stainless steel. By moving the fluids and not the parts, the entire system can be closed, with each storage tank covered and vented. The cover of the process unit, which also acts as the dryer, can be vented to exhaust any chemical fumes out of the work environment. PLC and HMI touchscreen multi- tank and benchtop ultrasonic cleaning equipment complete the ultrasonic cleaner line. ESMA also manufactures a line of benchtop
electropolishing equipment and corresponding electropolishing solutions. The company’s electropolishing solution for cobalt chromium has been recognised for its excellence throughout the world and is used to electropolish stents for many major medical manufacturers.

Life tested to 100 million cycles In order to provide even smoother and considerably longer operation of its VM38 voice coil motor, Geeplus has developed a new version, which incorporates redesigned bearing races in order to provide the shaft with a virtually friction-free movement. In addition to the reliability of stroke through its lifetime, Geeplus has life tested the component to show that it will

Geeplus has developed a new VM38 voice coil motor that meets the requirements of 100 million cycles.
meet the requirements of 100 million cycles without renewal. This type of operational life is essential when the motor is being used in situations where high degrees of reliability are required, such as medical equipment. Very low hysteresis is a common requirement for actuators used in advanced medical equipment to facilitate extremely precise and repeatable flow or pressure control. Geeplus incorporates flexure bearings and rolling bearings into select VCAs, combined with an extremely rigorous testing process and 100% traceable test results in its in-house manufacturing process to consistently surpass the level of performance and quality required.

Thermopile sensors for
medical applications Heimann Sensor is a leading manufacturer of infrared thermal sensors and imagers as well as gas sensors, which are commonly used in medical diagnostics, in devices for medical treatment as well as patient care. ■ New sensors for medical respiratory monitoring: As a core component of capnography devices, Heimann Sensor’s CO2
sensors
help to save lives during the current Covid-19 pandemic. The company supplies a variety of gas sensors with a single channel and up
to four channels, in SMD or TO-package, with and without integrated signal preprocessing. Heimann Sensor offers customised solutions including dual- channel SMD devices, smaller designs, special filters, higher sensitivity and higher level of integration with new ASICs for digital preprocessing.
■ Infrared arrays for thermography: Heimann Sensor’s infrared arrays are the core of thermal imaging cameras for observing inflammation and monitoring the progress of therapies. The company provides the world’s most advanced technology in low-cost and high-performance thermal imaging solutions. Its infrared arrays are available in a wide range of spatial resolution from 8x8 to 120x84 elements. Combined with different optics, thermal imaging with clear, instant pictures of the patient’s inflammatory response becomes possible.
■ Infrared sensors and arrays for elevated body temperature screening: The company’s sensors and sensor modules are installed in non-contact thermometers and have been proved especially valuable during the current pandemic. A large market comprises single thermopile sensors for in-ear and forehead fever thermometers, but can also be applied for more precise tear duct
