Pharma offering

Dedicated industrial robots for each pharma grade environment

Our customers and leading pharmaceutical companies place trust in our solutions. This gives our engineers an advantage  when adapting our well-known range of robots dedicated to pharma production environments.

Our 30 years of experience in the pharmaceutical market have enabled Stäubli to develop the widest range of 4- and 6-axis Stericlean and cleanroom robots on the market to meet the multiple constraints of the pharma market. Robots have become more and more popular due to their flexibility and to trends in personalized medicine and small batch production.

Our pharma offering includes the Stericlean range for aseptic environments and the Stericlean+ range, which address the ever-increasing demands of the pharma sector by providing validated solutions that meet the highest hygiene and cleanliness standards.

A robot in the industry is defined according to payload, reach and speed. In pharma, a fourth factor is also considered, related to the production environment and cleaning processes used on equipment. Stäubli offers flexible solutions in these market-specific areas.

Pharma factory areas

A pharma factory is divided into several areas that require different specifications in terms of cleaning processes and particle emissions. Stäubli defines four levels of requirements, from the most restrictive, isolators in Grade A, subjected to aggressive  H₂O₂ cleaning, to logistics areas, intermediate levels of inspection, RABs, and secondary packaging, where equipment is cleaned with alcohol wipes.

Isolator - Grade A (ISO5)

  • Highly monitored fill/finish process lines of high potency and toxic drugs
  • Highest hygienic standards in design, material and components
  • Regular VHP cleaning
Highly aseptic robots for isolator. Grade A/B (ISO 5)
