Mar 27, 2013 Featuring 100% in-process control, Model MLF 5088 can fill and close injection bottles in processing range of 2–100 mL. All vials are weighed directly before and after filling station, and machine automatically adjusts volume in case of deviating quantities. Utilizing combined filling station with 8 dosing heads, machine can work with piston, peristaltic, or rolling diaphragm pumps, as well as time-pressure filling system. Machine's stoppering station provides continuous operation.

Flow Wrapping Machine enhances product safety and shelf life.

Robert Bosch GmbH    Waiblingen, D-71332
Nov 12, 2012 Suited for products products requiring Modified Atmosphere Packaging, Pack 301 Inverted Long Dwell Flow Wrapper offers capabilities for gentle handling and hermetically sealed seams. Inverted long dwell wrapper features consistent dwell sealing times of up to 1 sec, independent of machine's product flow, to ensure air-tight seal even during ramp up and down periods. Able to accommodate use of thick films, independent control of processing temperature on top and bottom sealing jaws.

9-Axis MEMS Sensor outputs acceleration and geomagnetic data.

Robert Bosch GmbH    Waiblingen, D-71332
Nov 06, 2012 Featuring 3.0 x 4.5 mm² footprint, 9-axis BMX055 integrates three 3-axis sensors, including 12-bit accelerometer with ±2 to ±16 G range and sensitivity of 128-1,024 LSB/G. Unit also includes gyroscope with 16-bit resolution and geomagnetic sensor with heading accuracy of 2.5°. FusionLib software combines sensor data outputs so developers can create applications for smart phones and remote controls. Unit is offered in 3.0 x 4.5 x 0.95 mm³, 20-pin LGA package.

In Line Filter utilizes cyclone effect.

Robert Bosch GmbH    Waiblingen, D-71332
Jun 25, 2012 With 110 LEN Series, medium flows in tangential path, ensuring uniform flow around filter element and driving heavy particles to outside. Particles collect in groves of filter bowl, where they can be removed. Pressure spring in filter fixes filter element to grooves in filter bowl bottom, protecting element against uncontrolled movements by flow and vibration. Based on condition of filter, maintenance indicator on top of housing indicates when filter needs to be changed.

Capsule Inspection System handles 220,000 capsules/hr.

Robert Bosch GmbH    Waiblingen, D-71332
May 04, 2012 Based on X-ray technology, Model KKK 3900 delivers weight identification, foreign particle detection, length measurement, and deformation recognition in one process step with minimal interference. System can be installed after any capsule filling machine and achieves output up to 220,000 capsules/hr. Capsules that are not in line with desired requirements are discharged individually. Real-time image evaluation resists vibration, air flow, and dampness.

License Plate Imager operates in challenging conditions.

Robert Bosch GmbH    Waiblingen, D-71332
May 03, 2012 Consisting of both analog models and IP imagers with ONVIF conformance, DINION captures images of vehicle license plates moving at speeds up to 140 mph from up to 92 ft away. Night Capture Imaging System feature uses IR illumination and visible light filtering to ensure clear acquisition in complete darkness while eliminating negative effects of headlight glare. Other features include overexposure minimization, adjustable modes for capturing region-specific plates, and IP67/NEMA 4X housing.

Capsule Filling Machine suits laboratory-scale applications.

Robert Bosch GmbH    Waiblingen, D-71332
May 02, 2012 Equipped with dosator filling station, modular GKF 702 produces small batches. Production parameters required later during production can be fully simulated, and Mini-Bowl filling station handles product batches from 100-300 mL. Also available, slidegate system provides for higher yields as well as option of filling free-flowing granulates, or pellets, via powder station. Machine comes with 17 in. touchscreen industrial PC. Multiple interfaces facilitate access to batch documentation.

Airlock allows quick and contamination-free transfer.

Robert Bosch GmbH    Waiblingen, D-71332
May 01, 2012 Available in stand-alone and integrated versions, Fast Air Lock ISS 1000 enables accelerated, contamination-free transfer of pharmaceutical equipment into and out of isolators. It operates independently from status of main filling isolator and can transfer microbiological materials. Evaporation process and loading unit reduce cycle times to 20 min, and transfer cart enables ergonomic loading/unloading of lock. Other features include SafeVAP bio-decontamination system and HEPA filters.

Fire Panels support up to 8 zones and 256 detectors.

Robert Bosch GmbH    Waiblingen, D-71332
Apr 26, 2012 Intended for schools, small shops, warehouses, and office buildings, Conventional Fire Panel 500 Series uses single LCD screen to display status of all zones. User interface is color-coded, and LEDs light up to indicate active zones, problems, and status information. False alarms are minimized by requiring fire to be detected in at least 2 zones or by 2 detectors in 1 zone. With separate history functions for events and walk tests, panels allow clear documentation of system activity.
