INTELLIGENTDESKTOP AUTOMATIONLFDAThe Ginolis Lateral Flow Device Assembly
system is a revolutionary new step indiagnostics manufacturing. The LFDA brings
together intelligent automation and modularity
on a desktop scale.
Flexible
The solution is easily adaptable and can assemble different
rapid tests with minimal product specific adjustments. The
LFDA provides manufacturers flexible production capacity
within a desktop footprint.

Main Features• Machine vision guided infeed of materials• Strip cutter with card magazine or reel infeed• Vision guided component placement, strip cutting
and assembly ensure consistent high quality• Quick product changeover due to minimal productspecific parts• Compact design saves valuable space in clean room
environments

Intelligent
To ensure flawless and high-quality operation a versatile
machine vision system is utilized for accurate positioning,
defect detection, tolerance monitoring and component
measurement. The machine vision guidance system yields a
consistent high quality assembled device.

Modular

Other Configurations• LFDA an easily be expanded to include modules for
multiple test strips, RFID tags, printing, labeling,laser marking, cap asembly, ultrasonic welding andpouching

The LFDA is built on Ginolis´modular Xanthia robotic
platform. The line can be easily expanded to include
modules for multiple test strips, RFID tags, printing,labelling, laser marking, cap assembly, ultrasonic welding
and pouching.

3LFDA Modules

Housing Infeed
The housing bulk infeed module comes standard on all LFDA
systems and is capable of handling a wide range of housingtypes. The bulk feeder mechanism provides a controlled andmonitored input of housings with a customizable buffer.
Machine vision inspection ensures each housing fits QC
requirements before it is placed onto the carrier for transfer
to the next cell.

Intelligent Transfer Unit
Components advance along the LFDA system on the Ginolis
Intelligent Transfer system. The multi-functional systemtransfers the components from module to module on magnetic
carriers across a glass platform.
With minimal exposed and moving parts, the intelligent
transfer system is a easy to clean and low maintenance.

Strip Cutting and Assembly
The strip cutter module utilizes a linear servo motor driven
blade to cut strips. The LFDA is available with card magazineor reel infeed.
Vision guidance system checks for bad marked material,
ensures precise strip width and the presence of pads before
placement.
For test devices with more than one strip, additional strip
cutting modules can be easily integrated to system.

Press Unit
The assembled lateral flow device is fed through servo driven
press unit which has adjustable force and height parameters.
After successful cassette closure, the test device is transferred
via the intelligent transfer system to final quality inspection
station.

Quality Inspection
The Lateral Flow Device Assembly system includes a final
quality inspection before packaging. Multiple cameras anddash lights check for component features, correct positioning
and proper cassette closure.
Failed test devices are removed from assembly line
automatically. Additional options include fluorescence lightcheck.

Cap Assembly
Cap assembly module performs the placement and closure ofcap onto end of test device. The cap and test device is pressed
together using a servo driven press unit.
The cap assembly module comes standard with bulk
component infeed.
