CUSTOM FORMATS
Does your vial fit?
Enter five measurements of your vial and check whether it is compatible with IdiCap's standard tooling. For formats outside its range, we design the gripper or head they need.
Result
Indicative result, computed from the tooling design dimensions before the machine is calibrated. We confirm it with your vials.
Custom tooling
If your vial is out of range, or you want the result confirmed, send us the measurements and we will propose a solution.

How to measure
Measure with the vial standing upright on the table. Calipers reading 0.1 mm are enough. If you have several from the same batch, measure two or three and take the average.
Not to scale. The cap skirt runs down over the neck, so the cap height (5) is much larger than what it adds to the vial height (3 − 4): that is why the cap is measured on its own.
Not to scale. For silicone, the cap height (5) is only the part above the rim; the plug that goes into the neck does not count.
| 1 Body diameter | The outside of the tube on its straight section, where the gripper holds it. On conical tubes, never at the tip. |
|---|---|
| 2 Cap diameter | The largest outside diameter of the cap, ribs included. |
| 3 Height with cap | With the cap fully closed: from the base of the vial to the top of the cap. |
| 4 Height without cap | With the cap off: from the base of the vial to its rim. |
| 5 Cap height | Screw caps and vacuum tubes: the whole cap, off the vial, skirt included. Silicone: only the part above the rim. |
