HORST
fruitcore robotics GmbH
Customized test automation for development and verification
For our test environments, we rely on the HORST1000 G2 from fruitcore robotics - a powerful 6-axis industrial robot for demanding automation tasks. Technical specifications:
- 6 axes
- Load capacity: up to 16 kg
- Reach: 1,140 mm
- Ambient temperature: 5-40 °C
Versatile interfaces and flexible manipulators The intuitive, AI-supported software allows individual test sequences to be adapted quickly, even without robot knowledge. This allows us to offer our customers practical tests under production-related conditions - from parts handling to machine loading. The robot can be flexibly integrated into existing systems, supports agile development processes and remains particularly low-maintenance and cost-efficient thanks to patented drive technology. Ideal for the development, verification and optimization of customer-specific automation solutions. Source: fruitcore robotics GmbH
For our partners and customers, we use the robot specifically for the automation of demanding test and verification tasks. Here it enables reproducible, standard-compliant test sequences - efficient, flexible and documentable. Typical areas of application are
- Service life tests on medical devices and components
- Functional tests and analyses of instruments, devices or assemblies
- Mechanical load tests, e.g. on implants or handpieces
- Compatibility tests with accessories or peripheral devices
- Fully automated visual and mechanical tests
- Usability tests for user interaction (e.g. buttons, handles, interfaces)
- Force and torque measurements during tests to quantify operating forces
These automated test scenarios not only offer objective and comparable results, but also shorten development cycles and increase process reliability - ideal for demanding regulatory requirements in medical technology.
Customer benefits - Flexible automation for individual test requirements
With our robotic test setup, we offer our customers from the medical technology and life science sectors customized solutions for demanding testing tasks - efficient, precise and close to development. Our competences at a glance:
- Feasibility tests during development to validate product properties at an early stage
- Fast, internal test set-up with high flexibility for various test requirements
- Product-specific adaptation of test setups for realistic test scenarios
- Short implementation times - from the idea to the automated test process
- Adaptation of complex geometries and surface structures using modular manipulators
- Individual and complex interfaces between robot, tool and test specimen
- In-house production of special components to implement even complex requirements quickly
In this way, we enable efficient testing processes tailored to your product - which can be flexibly integrated into your development.
