A major medical manufacturer asked Sunshine AUTOMATION & TOOLING to assemble a butterfly cannula automatically at a rate of 40 parts per minute.

Our solution was to develop a multi-dial assembly process with sub-assemblies being produced & merged together before final packaging.

Special considerations included:

• The loading of the molded butterfly bases required interfacing with their existing molding system
• Tubing station had to be capable of feeding & cutting variable lengths of tubing
• The adhesive applied required a UV light source for curing
• A retaining band had to be applied around the wound assembly
