Inert and Siemens create new glove boxes for production processes such as 3D printing

The so-called glove box, is filled with high-purity inert gas inside the box, and loop filter out the active substances in laboratory equipment.It is the manufacturing industry for packaging 3D printing And welding of important and highly-maintained projects in the production process. In addition, it is also used in the following production:

semiconductor;

Solar battery;

led;

Lithium Ion Battery;

A series of medical equipment;

Pharmaceutical

chemicals;

Glove boxes are often filled with gases such as argon or nitrogen to keep the atmosphere non-reactive, nonvolatile and inert, and the operators in the manufacturing process are usually responsible for filling, monitoring and purging gases.These manual procedures have four drawbacks:

Large swings may occur while small batch processing or tools are changing.

Operators must undergo rigorous safety training and cause anxiety if someone operates on a day off.

Argon and nitrogen can be expensive.

Logging recorded on a computer or by hand is much less efficient than digitization that can record data in the second second.

Now Inert and Siemens have teamed up to build the PureLab HE 4GB 2500 glove box system, which has been assembled in universities and laboratories, welded, 3D printed, etc. The PureLab glove box measures 10 x 6 x 3.5 feet and has an internal working area of 8 x 3 x 2.5 feet, made of steel, each weighing 550 lb. Not only that, the system is modular so that researchers and manufacturers can easily add as needed.

Inert also adds the SIMATIC S7-1200 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and the SIMATIC HMI color panel to the glove box for precise temperature and air flow control. All systems can be managed from one interface, Specific users' languages ​​and protocols are customized. Remote access is also available.

As device and system designers and manufacturers around the world are being driven by mil / aero OEMs to help them meet their COTS and SWaP-C goals (while still Meet the stringent quality standards defined by the AS9100), and medical OEMs meet the regulatory standards as amended by ISO 13485: 2016, with their facilities and assembly lines moving forward.

While clean room technology is always present, the often neglected solution to a variety of manufacturing challenges is the micro-environment commonly known as 'glove box' With today's sealing accomplishments and digital control offerings, They are now at the forefront of the development of advanced manufacturing centers in the future.
