Medical and Assistive Machines using THK products from Technico

Medical and assistive equipment has played a critical role in improving patient care and supporting medical professionals in their work. THK, a leading manufacturer of linear motion systems, has developed advanced products that meet the highest reliability standards required for medical apparatuses. In this article, we'll explore some of the medical and assistive equipment where THK's products are used.

X-Ray Equipment

THK's LM Guides and Cross-Roller Rings are used for the movement of X-ray receptors. This enables X-ray machines to move the ray transmitter and receiver units in any direction and take images from any angle, regardless of the position of the patient. Additionally, THK's products reduce the machine's vibrations and noise, which can be a source of concern for patients.

Automatic Hematological Analysis Equipment

THK's Ball Splines and change nuts are used for the vertical transportation of reagent injectors in hematological test equipment. The Ball Spline can suppress vibrations at the end of the injector when it stops, and sliding screw change nuts have enabled the creation of very smooth, high-speed feeding mechanisms. This ensures accurate and efficient analysis of blood samples.

Medical X-Ray CT Scanners

THK's LM Guides are used in the longitudinal movement section that moves the patient on the bed during the scanning process. This allows for precise and accurate scanning of the patient's body. The guides also reduce vibration and noise during system movement, which helps to eliminate patient concerns.

Bathing Facilities with Electric Wheelchair Support

THK's Ball Spline is used in bathing facilities with electric-powered lifts. Using the spline shaft as the lift pole enables compact facility design, making it easier for patients with mobility issues to access the facilities.

Surgery Support Robots

THK's LM Guides and actuators are used in surgery support robots. By using these products, surgery support robots can be powerful and compact, providing high accuracy during surgery while also being able to reproduce the doctor's motions reliably. This helps to improve surgical outcomes and reduce the radiation dosage absorbed during radiography.

In conclusion, THK's products have played a vital role in advancing medical technologies and supporting medical professionals in their work. The company's focus on meeting the highest reliability standards required for medical apparatuses has made them a trusted partner for medical equipment manufacturers. As technology continues to advance, we can expect THK to remain at the forefront of innovation in the medical and assistive equipment industry.
