Hygienic Solutions for Imaging, Diagnostics, Dental, & Intensive Care

Precisely-Moving Slit Lamp for Ophthalmology

To create an easy-to-move ophthalmology lamp that aligns with high precision, this company used iglide® J plain bearings. Learn more about how we were able to provide a solution for this application.

Rotary Energy Supply for X-ray Robots

twisterchain® series cable carriers are used in X-ray robots from Buck Engineering & Consulting GmbH. The twisterchain® enables safe cable routing for rotations of up to 540°.

Dental X-Ray Units

From X-ray devices such as intraoral radiators to 3D tomographs, we offer all components for rotary and linear bearings as well as energy chain systems and cables for smooth cable routing. This is where trouble-free, durable, quiet and economical solutions are essential.

Thanks to optimized friction and wear values, absolute freedom from lubrication and maintenance and their high torsional strength, our solutions can be found universally in adjustable, swivel or rotary bearings in imaging diagnostics.

High-precision perfusor dosing with iglide® plain bearings

For precise syringe dosing, B. Braun Melsungen AG w used a specially manufactured clip bearing made of iglide® J material with minimal friction coefficients to realize a jerk-free movement in the smallest installation space.

Compact cable protection for dual-plane fluoroscopes

The Laboratory for Movement Biomechanics (LMB) at ETH Zurich has developed a two-plane fluoroscope that can track highly dynamic human joint movements in 3D space and record high-resolution, biplanar X-ray images at high speeds.

Torsion-resistant e-chain® for compact X-ray radio therapy robot

In the exacure system, this challenge was overcome by using two of igus® cable management systems and a variety of cables. An E2/000 e-chain® is installed on the linear axis. Risks of torsion or tearing in the cable harnesses were eliminated with the use of a triflex® dress pack
