Challenges of surgical robot manufacturing

Movements and Compatibility

MedTech industry and especially surgical robot manufacturing is extremely demanding. Precise, accurate and smooth movements of surgery manipulators are crucial for improving patient safety and clinical outcome. Additionally, radiation proofness and magnetic compatibility is increasingly required for radiotherapy applications as well as image-guided interventions.

How PiezoMotor Engineers the Future of Robotics

PiezoMotor technology enables movements in the nanometer range with zero backslash, active position hold and excellent repeatability to ensure that the instrument only moves when the surgeons want it and without wobbling or motion artefacts. We provide motors suitable for CT and MRI guidance systems. Radiation proof, no influence from the magnetic fields and not generating unwanted magnetic fields. This is how we help you solve positioning problems in a compact, precise way with high operational forces.
