 Safety Needle Assembly
RTI had been manufacturing a device for a major infusion therapy manufacturer for 16 years when the customer began development on a revised safety version. The current product was being assembled offshore but with the new version requiring correct repeatable assembly, they approached RTI for its expertise in automated vision assembly. Working closely with the customer, RTI was able to gather from their various competencies in micro-mechanics, insert molding and automation & robotics to insure the product be assembled correctly with six sigma quality.

 Medical
Sensor Package
A leading medical infusion pump provider was
interested in a cost savings on some of their components. RTI's
staff of experienced engineers evaluated their current system and
utilized its core competencies in microelectronics, insert molding
and automation & robotics in designing a universal sensor that
fit their current pump, reducing their unit cost by 50%.

Needle Free Syringe
A medical device provider needed a reliable source for designing
and molding their disposable needle free syringes and associated
products. A critical issue was controlling the orifice of the needle
free syringe to meet their strict dosage tolerance requirements.
RTI engineers worked with the customer and developed tight tolerance
multi-cavity molds, molding an orifice diameter of .006" with
tolerances to .0005". To measure these tight tolerances, a
vision system was designed for 100% inspection of the orifice and
the molding process was automated. This resulted in enhanced structural
integrity increasing the number of shots per syringe, substantially
improving product quality and reducing the unit cost by 40%. |

 Flow
Restrictor
When a major manufacturer of medical devices decided to replace
an expensive and difficult to use glass intravenous flow restrictor
with a plastic injection molded version, only one company, RTI,
even quoted on making the part. In fact. our engineering department
was eager to take on this challenging project that 8 weeks later
we were shipping product. |
