Icon medical robotics encoders utilizing capacitive rotary encoder technology ideal medical applications

Medical Robotics Encoders

Digital Laparoscopic Surgical System

CASE STUDY

Digital Laparoscopic Surgical System. Digital laparoscopy provides surgeons with improved control, ergonomic comfort, and a higher degree of confidence when performing a wide variety of procedures.

Encoder Requirements

  • Hollow shaft
  • High precision
  • Low profile
  • Immunity to magnetic fields interference and EMC

Rotary Encoder

  • Netzer DS-58 & DS-90 Absolute Position Electric Encoders™ are incorporated in the robotic arm with the frameless motor.
  • Compact, low profile, lightweight & wide bore: Allowing high-level integration for a low profile arm joint design.
  • Frameless & contactless with negligible weight, introducing no extra mass & inertia (load) to the robotic system.
  • Total immunity to magnetic interference: Can be positioned very close to the frameless motor magnets.
  • High resolution 18 bit & accuracy < 0.015deg for smooth and high accuracy rotation with high repeatability of 1 count.
  • Standard digital serial interfaces, SSi, BiSS.
  • Special safety algorithms with real-time BIT (Built-In Test) over SSi or BiSS.
