Automating component filling
We understand that no two filling processes are identical. In the case of smaller or recently established production lines, manual input is often involved. For instance, an operator may position a carton, following which the machine proceeds to fold the box. Then, the operator loads the products, and the machine subsequently folds and seals the box.
However, the procedure can also be entirely automated with the utilization of a robot, cobot, or manipulator. GTE provides the essential flexibility demanded by the medical and pharmaceutical sectors. We take into account various factors, including budget, specifications, and potential, to determine the optimal level of automation for your specific needs.
Comprehensive safety checks for component filling
Our pharmaceutical- and medical packaging machines are fitted with safety systems like light curtains and motion radars by default. Light curtains are exactly what their name suggests: a screen made of small light beams. The moment the light beams are disrupted, the machine receives a signal for an emergency stop. This doesn’t just increase the level of automation, but also the safety of your machine.
Our customers
Component filling according to your requirements
GTE fully adapts the medical and pharmaceutical packaging equipment to your needs and requirements. For example, we can use a number of robot brands, including Mecademic, Stäubli, Industrial Robots, Fanuc, and Abb. We can also integrate the brand you prefer to work with into our machines, even if we don’t carry it. The same quality you’re used to, just in our machine!

Whitepaper: Everything about vision systems in the pharmaceutical and medical industry
Precision and accuracy are extremely important. Whether they are used for correctly labeling products, or verifying the integrity of packaging, vision systems play a crucial role in any production process. What are their strengths and limitations, how do you prepare for their implementation, and what will the future look like in terms of, for example, AI? We are happy to help you get started; download the free whitepaper!
The Importance of IQ, PQ, and OQ in Machine Construction for the Pharmaceutical and Medical Industry
In the pharmaceutical and medical industries, developing machines that meet the highest quality and regulatory standards is essential. Therefore, the steps of IQ (Installation Qualification), PQ (Performance Qualification), and OQ (Operational Qualification) are followed during the construction of these machines. These qualification tests ensure that machines meet the required standards for installation, operation, and performance, and they are a critical part of the validation process.
At GTE Engineering, we use a traceability matrix and provide support with FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) and SAT (Site Acceptance Test) protocols to make the validation process structured and efficient. This approach guarantees that all requirements are documented and that the machines meet the highest standards in the pharmaceutical and medical industries.
The LAP-C with Mecademic robot
GTE designed and built the LAP-C. A circular platform for assembling and/or packaging medical products. When we design the LAP-C as an assembly machine, we often use a Mecademic robot.
High mix low volume manufacturing
In the pharmaceutical industry, there is a growing demand for high mix low volume manufacturing (HMLV). HMLV signifies that medications and medical devices are increasingly being personalized, tailored more specifically to the patient: a greater variety of medical products combined in smaller quantities.
3D printing in engineering– thinking out of the box
Years ago, in 2001, GTE engineering embraced 3D printing for the creation process of its exclusive machines. Until then it was science fiction. Today we can no longer live without it. How do we use 3D printing at GTE and what advantages does it have?
What is ‘Smart Customization’?
ETO, CTO and Smart Customization. Terms that are more often used in mechanical engineering. But what do these terms mean? Everyone working in mechanical engineering should know what development these words describe.
