Robotics and medicine.

At Medical Technology Ireland, attendees will have the opportunity to experience Stäubli’s technologies firsthand and discover the transformative role they are playing in medical device manufacturing.

Medical Technology Ireland is one of Europe’s leading trade shows for medical device development and manufacturing. Taking place this year on September 23-24 at Galway Racecourse, the event will feature Stäubli Robotics and its comprehensive portfolio of innovative automation solutions for the medical technology industry.

The range of medical devices is vast, spanning everything from orthodontic braces and CT scanners to prosthetic devices. As diverse as these products are, all must comply with rigorous industry standards—and increasingly, they must do so amid ongoing innovation and industry trends, such as connected and wearable devices and personalized products, which are making manufacturing more complex and placing greater demands on traceability.

Automation offers solutions. “In the medical world, the rising demand for single-use devices like surgical staplers, which require precise assembly and testing, increasingly involves automation and robotics to meet high production volumes and stringent medical device requirements,” says Sébastien Lagarde, Global Leader, Life Robotics at Stäubli Robotics.

Robots and mobile robotic systems can make medical device manufacturing as efficient, reliable, cost-effective, and streamlined as possible. Of course, robots used in medical applications must meet the most stringent hygiene requirements. They must also withstand intensive cleaning and decontamination procedures, and only specially designed robots can do so over the long term without being damaged.

Forty years of expertise in the medical technology industry.
For nearly four decades, Stäubli Robotics has partnered with OEMs and system integrators to automate demanding medical technology applications. Drawing on its extensive expertise, the company offers a comprehensive range of robotic solutions for virtually any application. Whether used in assembly, machining, laser cutting, polishing, sandblasting, quality inspection, or injection molding operations, Stäubli robots support every stage of medical device production.

Stäubli offers hygienic, cleanroom-ready four- and six-axis robots across a wide range of payload capacities. Specialized models designed for life science applications comply with the most stringent GMP and FDA requirements and are adapted for operation in aseptic environments. Stäubli’s portfolio also includes the Access series, a dedicated product line that provides an affordable entry point for many medical device manufacturing applications while maintaining Stäubli’s high quality and performance standards.

Another key advantage for medical device manufacturers is Stäubli’s extensive quality and process expertise. The company is certified to ISO 13485, confirming that it meets the requirements of the internationally recognized standard for quality management systems for medical devices. This certification helps manufacturers comply with regulatory requirements by significantly reducing the validation effort involved in integrating automation solutions. Through documented processes, rigorous quality standards, and a consistent focus on industry requirements, Stäubli offers its customers greater assurance when implementing demanding production projects.

For highly flexible process integration and material handling, Stäubli offers a range of mobile robotic solutions, including platform AGVs, autonomous forklifts, and the unique Sterimove mobile robot— the world’s first Grade A/B-compatible mobile robot.

Automation delivers significant user benefits.
With proven expertise and flexible solutions, Stäubli continues to set new industry benchmarks, helping manufacturers optimize scalability, process reliability, and productivity. Stäubli’s solutions are designed to meet all regulatory requirements in the medical technology sector, allowing medical device manufacturers to improve throughput and product quality while increasing efficiency and profitability. Automation also helps reduce human error, enhance transparency through real-time data collection, and create more flexible manufacturing processes—all essential capabilities for meeting the growing demand for personalized medical products.
