FAULHABER Market solutions Drive Systems for Medical & Laboratory Equipment

Robotics and automation have long been standard in production. In the world of the medical industry, they are becoming increasingly important. This is due, on the one hand, to a gain in efficiency and comfort - to say nothing of the cost savings - and, on the other hand, to the innovative drive solutions that ensure trust in the most demanding of applications: From local, office-based analysis systems to fully automated, large-scale laboratories, from functional prostheses to portable medication dosing units and even surgery robots, FAULHABER drive components are the first choice here. In...

Laboratory analysis systems Many standard recurring jobs in routine medical laboratory work are being performed through partial automation and additional manual work involving increased staffing levels, e.g. blood group determination or anti-body tests. Massive savings can be achieved by using state-of-the-art laboratory analysis systems. Their special design enables continuous, fast and reliable laboratory work while deploying fewer members of staff and providing an increased level of safety. Analysis units, computers and FAULHABER Drive Systems are adapted to the challenges of long-term...

FAULHABER Drive Solution Analytical devices Researchers hope that they will soon be able to fight cancer cells without damaging healthy tissue, thanks to so-called biologicals. These new active components spot specific molecular characteristics of abnormal cells and help to destroy them systematically. A large number of pharmaceutical candidates must be examined to find customised biologicals for various types of cancers. Gyros, a Swedish company, has developed an analytical device which facilitates the search: Gyrolab xPlore TM automatically and quickly runs tests of multiple samples in...

Sample distribution systems Using small trolleys, tens of thousands of blood and urine samples are transported fully automatically to individual analysis stations in modern laboratories every day using automated sample distribution systems. Compact microdrives ensure the mobility of the self-propelled autonomously controlled carriers. Speed and reliability have top priority here. For the drive solution, brushless DC-Gearmotors from FAULHABER are the perfect choice. FAULHABER Drive Solution Drive System ■ DC-Motor with precious metal commutation and integrated encoder Highly efficient motor...

Anaesthesia and ventilation systems There are many experiences we would happily do without. Operations under general anaesthetic and with artificial respiration are definitely one of them. Compared with previous generations, we have a crucial advantage as medical technology has been developing at breath-taking speed in the last few years. In this way anaesthesia and ventilation systems make a major contribution to making the anaesthesia that is needed for surgery safer and gentler. A perfectly-tuned drive solution with a FAULHABER brushless DC-Motor for the blower unit plays a key role for...

Myoelectric prosthesis Tie shoelaces, fold bed linen, tear open a bag of crisps - the list of things that are difficult to do with one hand goes on and on. People with a congenital amputation or who have lost a hand due to an accident are confronted with such obstacles every day. Helping people manage their daily lives is the most important goal in the field of prosthetics. Modern hand prostheses with highly dynamic drives in all fingers make possible natural and coordinated movements and gripping. An attractive design with realistic proportions, even with delicate hands, offers an...

Endodontics Endodontics or endodontology is a specialist area of dentistry. The most common procedure is the root canal treatment that a tooth receives in the case of inflamed pulp (also known as the “dental nerve”). Many of you will have experienced this procedure at first hand: The dentist removes the “nerve”, cleans the root canal and then fills it. This treatment requires extreme care and is by no means simple because the tooth is to be preserved and the patient must then remain free of pain for as long as possible. New knowledge, methods and systems now ensure that difficult root canal...

Tattoo machines Today, the ink for a tattoo is delivered to the skin with up to 7,500 punctures per minute. For large, complex motifs, the artists nevertheless work on their creations for hours on end without a break. They thus place high demands on their tool. In addition to low-vibration and quiet operation, modern tattoo machines are characterised by a compact, ergonomic design with low weight. For the drive solution, rotary tattoo machine manufacturers rely on the know-how from FAULFIABER. FAULHABER Drive Solution Drive System ■ 0 17mm DC-Motor with precious metal commutation ■ 0 26mm...

Insulin pumps Diabetes is among the most common diseases in today's societies. If the disease is not treated in time or if treated incorrectly, important organs, such as heart, eyes and kidneys, could suffer serious damage. Chronically ill patients can optimally control their treatment with an insulin pump - supported by micromotors from FAULHABER. FAULHABER Drive Solution Drive System ■ 0 6mm 2-pole brushless DC-Motor ■ 0 8mm brushed and brushless DC-Motors ■ Stepper motor Benefits ■ Highly efficient motor for low current consumption and long battery life ■ Compact size ■ Reliability and...

Drive Systems for Medical & Laboratory Equipment In the world of medical products, focus is on the life and quality of life of the patient. The significance of the longevity of the micro drive components thereby literally gains a new quality. The highest standards for precision and reliability therefore apply here. Another important point is the ability to autoclave without problem. FAULHABER drive components offer all of this. Furthermore, with their compact design and quiet operation, they provide a high level of comfort and acceptance with patients and doctors – with portable medication...
