Medical applications are just one of many that require drive systems with benchmark technology that can achieve and exceed demanding requirements.
Precision Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery for laparoscopy relies on highlysensitive drive technology Modern medical technology makes operations safer.
Miniaturized: Blood Pressure Monitor
Modern microdrives inside the blood pressure monitoring device ensure the necessary mechanical execution of electronic commands.
“Free” Power Transmission for Medical Implants
A new method of "free" power transmission is setting new standards in terms of efficiency and space saving. It enables actuators and sensors in industrial applications and technical systems.
Haptic Devices
Haptic device manufacturer QUANSER produces five- and six-axis robots that supply realistic sensations. They leverage proprietary hardware and software, along with high-torque, high-bandwidth motors from MICROMO.
Automated Biopsy System
SenoRx decided to develop an automated, handheld biopsy system capable of harvesting multiple samples with a single insertion, they turned to compact, accurate, high-torque motors from MICROMO.
Blood Circulation Scanner
A newly developed blood circulation measuring device can really show what it's made of: a laser beam scans the patient's circulation through the tissue. A stepper motor works to mechanically position the laser beam. In this way, the sensor system is able to provide reproducible results on a miniature scale.
Aesthetic Laser Beams
When aesthetic laser manufacturer Cutera, Inc. began to develop an innovative new skin-resurfacing laser called the Pearl, their engineers turned to motors from MICROMO to provide precision motion in a compact, lightweight assembly for their medical solution.
Robotic Biopsy System
A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) agreed and built a robotic biopsy system with unprecedented efficiency and accuracy, powered by compact, high-torque DC motors from MICROMO that precisely control biopsy needle to improve speed, efficiency, and radiation exposure.
Motion Control Drives Portable Infusion Pump
When the U.S. Army went looking for a compact, portable field unit that could run at rates of 100 mL/min, Infusion Dynamics (now Zoll Medical Corp.) turned to motion control and efficient, high-torque DC gearmotors from MICROMO to provide the answer.
High-Tech Solutions Deliver Improved Quality of Life
Lightweight, small DC micromotors, combined with intelligent control technology, offer the chance to walk in a way that feels very similar to natural movement - providing clear benefits for users in terms of both safety and comfort.
Miniature DC Motors Crucial in Nerve Recording
Measuring experts rely on the miniature drive specialist FAULHABER's Small drives adapted to the particular application that ensures complex, precisely controlled motion in small spaces of nerve cells.
Servo Motors Power Automation of Pharmaceutical Dispensing
Leveraging high-efficiency, high-torque, small DC motors from MICROMO, the ScriptPro family of dispensing robots is fast, robust, compact, and efficient enough to operate off of a single wall plug - local pharmacy lines could soon be a thing of the past.
Micro-Precise Surgical Guidance Assistance
A miniature, high precision hexapod with 6 DOF is used as guidance assistance for spinal surgery. The bone-mounted system, named SpineAssist, is powered with six of Faulhaber's sensorless brushless DC gearmotors with custom drive electronics...
Perfect Focus
Head-mounted vision system for the medicine industry sets new standards using MICROMO's stepper motors. Stepper motors control magnification and focus for each eye.
Blood Sugar Testing
Thanks to advances made in the last few years, today diabetics can test their own blood glucose. The new Accu-Check® Compact launched by Roche Diagnostics marks a new departure in the design of blood sugar meters.
Micro-actuators Move Robotic Hand
In the past, robotic fingers were moved using cable pulls. In contrast, modern-day microengineering allows the motor to be fitted directly in the finger...The team of engineers opted for actuators developed by miniature motor specialist FAULHABER since they covered the full range of specifications required
High-precision bearings and actuators for micromechanics
Medical micromechanics and microengineering are synonymous with advanced technology geared to the future...The bearings of the microlinea® range allow linear movements with low friction.
Medical Diagnostics Application
Massive savings can be achieved by using state-of-the-art laboratory analysis systems...STRATEC Biomedical Systems AG plans, develops and produces fully automated analysis systems supported by MICROMO's small DC motors designed specifically for use in clinical-diagnostic laboratories.
