| Over the years the medical industry is has been | | | | to market by up to 50 percent faster. |
| demanding more precise, smaller, less invasive and | | | | Reportedly, innovations from the manufacture |
| more portable medical devices. And it now seems | | | | house a variety of subsystems and |
| that their wishes may have been granted with | | | | subassemblies, including multi-axis stages for |
| new developments in motion-based components | | | | precision lens positioning in microscopes, robotic |
| and subsystems. | | | | surgical assist, and long-life switch assemblies for |
| The medical device industry can make use these | | | | medical applications. |
| cutting-edge technologies to power motors, | | | | Solenoids: A number of compact solenoids can |
| pumps, subsystems in several different ways. At | | | | enable machine and process automation functions |
| the forefront of these innovations has been one | | | | right from the most basic on-off function to |
| of the world's largest providers of motion motion | | | | extremely complex sequencing. In fact, they are |
| actuators, Johnson Electric. | | | | best suited to medical applications and medical |
| Motors: Speaking of which, a large number of | | | | tools such as medical carts, blood analyzers, |
| brush and brushless, synchronous and | | | | medical instruments sterilizers and pharma pill |
| piezo-ceramic motors can help manufacturers to | | | | dispensers. |
| overcome a variety of obstacles such as | | | | Pumps: Pumps that are small, light and possess |
| accurate positioning and motion in surgical assist | | | | features viz. adjustable speed and reverse flow |
| medical devices, precise movement in MRI | | | | capabilities, are apt for use in a variety of drug |
| environments and silent operation of sleep apnea | | | | delivery and variable flow applications for medical, |
| treatment applications. | | | | pharmaceutical and laboratory applications. |
| Subassemblies/Subsystems: A range of design, | | | | Many manufacturers can leverage these |
| rapid prototyping and manufacturing services for | | | | innovative technologies and benefit from the |
| medical device subsystems can help companies to | | | | competitive edge they acquire. |
