Holding brakes for exact positioning
of surgery devices & robots in medical technology
In the dynamic world of medical technology, holding brakes play a critical role in ensuring the safety and precision of surgical procedures. These vital components are integrated into advanced surgical devices and robots, providing accurate positioning and stability. They are also key to safely halting automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) that support medical teams.
Functionality and importance of holding brakes in medical technology
Holding brakes are crucial for motion control in medical devices, stopping and securing equipment in position, which is especially important in surgery where precision is paramount. They must operate quietly to avoid disrupting the operating room and have a high power density for efficiency in tight spaces. Immediate response and secure positioning are essential for patient safety.
