Frequently asked questions

Modular assembly systems support scale-up by keeping the core process basis consistent across production stages. Syntegon’s RANGE platform uses the same press kit hardware and controls across semi-automated and fully automated equipment. Standardized assembly processes and harmonized HMIs keep workflows aligned from clinical trials and small batches to high-volume production. The documented platform range covers output from 2 to 200 devices per minute. 

Syntegon’s documented platforms are built for Pens and Auto-Injectors. Standard configurations include 4-piece pens and 3-piece auto-injectors, each including the primary container. The platforms are also designed for quick format change and modular expansion, which gives manufacturers room to adapt assembly for future device requirements within the documented platform concept. 

RMA is the semi-automated platform for clinical trials and small batches. On this page, MRA-S refers to a 50 ppm commercial MRA configuration with semi-automatic infeed and outfeed. MRA-A refers to a 100 ppm commercial MRA configuration with automatic tray infeed and outfeed. MXA is the fully automated platform for high-volume commercial production. Together, these options create a clear path from early-stage assembly to larger-scale output. 

Yes. Syntegon documents inline and stand-alone labeling as optional equipment for MRA-based Pen and Auto-Injector assembly. Available options also include inline labeling with vision, device marking by laser or InkJet, and outfeed to downstream packaging equipment. That lets manufacturers add labeling within the broader assembly concept instead of treating it as a separate stand-alone step. 

Yes. Syntegon documents modular expansion across the platform family. MRA systems can be upgraded with more autonomous infeed and outfeed solutions, and additional modules can be fitted within the assembly cell. RMA also includes quick format couplings for future device expansions. At platform level, the shared press kit hardware and controls support a clear path from clinical trials and small batches to higher-output production.
