Razor Cartridge Assembly System

The Challenge

A leading personal care company required assembly automation for their next-generation multi-blade razor cartridge. The system needed to handle extremely sharp blade components safely while achieving the precision necessary for consistent shave performance across millions of units.

The Solution

Haumiller developed a continuous motion assembly system engineered specifically for the unique challenges of razor blade handling. Safety was paramount throughout the design, with enclosed stations and automated material handling eliminating operator contact with sharp components.

Key elements included:

Enclosed continuous motion assembly with safety-first design. Precision blade insertion with micron-level alignment. Multi-blade stacking with consistent spacing. Lubricating strip application and verification. Housing snap-fit assembly with force monitoring. 100% vision inspection for blade alignment and spacing.

The Results

The system has been running reliably for years, producing razor cartridges that meet our client's exacting quality standards. The safety-focused design has resulted in zero blade-handling incidents since installation.
