Pharmabotix focuses on innovation: In the highly automated autoinjector assembly line, Pharmabotix integrated the HD series in combination with PSM (Pharma Standard Module). This project received the prestigious ISPE Robotics of the Year Award – proof of innovation power and the future viability of hygienic robotics in the pharmaceutical industry.

Highest Standards for Hygiene-Critical Environments

Requirements for cleanliness and precision in pharmaceutical production continue to rise. The new robot models MOTOMAN HD7 and HD8 from Yaskawa offer a solution specifically developed for hygiene-critical environments. The HD series stands for “Hygienic Design” and meets the highest standards:

  • GMP-compliant up to Grade A
  • Cleanroom-compatible according to ISO 14644-1 (HD7: Class 5, HD8: Class 4)
  • IP69 protection class and FDA-certified materials
  • Closed, screwless design for optimal cleanability
  • Internal media routing and antimicrobial surfaces

Optimized for Pharmaceutical Applications

Thanks to their closed, screwless design, internal media routing, and antimicrobial surfaces, the robots are easy to clean and resistant to common disinfectants. With a payload of 7 kg (HD7) or 8 kg (HD8) and compact working areas, they are ideal for:

  • Aseptic filling processes
  • Laboratory and cell culture automation
  • Packaging sensitive products
  • Automated assembly of autoinjectors

Future-Proof Automation

Anyone looking to combine cleanliness, safety, and automation in pharmaceutical production will find a future-proof solution in the HD7 and HD8 robots. The combination of hygienic design, GMP compliance, and precise robotics makes these systems the first choice for demanding pharmaceutical production environments.
