CUSTOMER REFERENCE HOSPITAL BEDS WITH CENTRAL LOCKING BETTER MOBILITY. BETTER LIFE.

A SWITCHING SYSTEM WITH AN IMPORTANT JOB TO INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY Japanese traditionally sleep on a FUTON matt on the floor. This feature has an influence on hospital beds and poses a particular challenge in respect of their design, especially in conjunction with braking systems. We therefore looked at the individual system require ments of our Japanese customer, PARAMOUNT BED and developed a tailor-made solution which overcomes challenges, while also improving work processes along the way. OUR SMART MOBILITY SOLUTION The Japanese hospital bed manufacturer PARAMOUNT BED Co., Ltd. looks back...

In the course of our close collaboration we made even more im provements and perfected the overall application, changing over from a friction-locked mechanism to a keyed system. The teeth interlock and make the braking action possible with far less exertion of force. The challenge involved in devising the solution is not to be under estimated. On the one hand, our engineers had to achieve gentle actuating forces in both switching directions. On the other hand, they had to guarantee the lever would stay fixed in the released position in order to prevent unintended activation of the switching operation...
