Problem Cretex Medical, an innovative contract manufacturer for the medical device industry, was faced with a difficult challenge. Responsible for manufacturing a critical component for intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) catheter devices, they needed to find a way to optimize the daily work experience of their assembly team and scale up production at the same time. “Think of this manual process as the extreme limits of what you can humanly do by manipulating tweezers under a microscope. The size of this assembly is not any bigger than an eyelash and the ergonomics of this repetitive process were taking a real physical and

Overview Mati Therapeutics is a Texas-based company specializing in the development of non-invasive drug delivery systems for ocular diseases. The company has been creating its own manufacturing equipment for over a decade, which includes the incorporation of Mecademic’s Meca500 – a six-axis robotic arm – into several of their machines. The Meca500 was chosen due to its small size, high precision, EtherCat communication, integrated gripper, absence of a controller, affordability, and short lead time. After transitioning from a Contract Manufacturing Organization to building their own manufacturing facility, the Meca500 has proven to be the ideal choice for reducing space utilization
