Slip rings for medical robots are a crucial technology in the field of medical devices. As precision electromechanical products, medical robot slip rings come in various types. In the following text, we will provide a brief analysis of the types of slip rings used inmedical robots.
Before delving into medical robot slip rings, we can categorize medical robots into two main types based on their functionality and external appearance. The first type is the robotic arm-style medical robot, which resembles most industrial robots. These simpler productsare used for lifting or transporting heavy objects. On the other hand, high-endrobotic arm-style medical robots are equipped with integrated devices on the end effector, allowing them to perform lesion detection or treatment by utilizing the endless rotation of the limbs.
JINPAT has developed slip rings specifically for robotic arm-style medical robots. These slip rings employ JINPAT’s patented structure of high-lifetime welded robot hollow shaft slip rings,meeting the requirements for stable operation, reliability, and lifespan underhigh-intensity working conditions. This highly reliable hollow shaft slip ring structure is not limited to medical robot applications but is also utilized inmedium to large specialized treatment equipment and other industries.
The second type of medical robots,represented by da Vinci surgical robots, typically have fewer degrees of freedom in their mechanical arms. However, they require much stricter control sensitivity and precision. JINPAT LPC, LPM, and LPMS series of capsule sliprings meet the demands of these high-precision surgical robots in terms of starting torque, smooth operation, lifespan, stability, and reliability. These capsule slip rings also support customization of Ethernet, USB, SDI, and various analog and digital signal types to fulfill the signal transmission requirements of precision medical robots. The excellent structure and expandability of these capsule slip rings have led to their widespread use in the field of medical robots.
In addition to capsule slip rings, JINPAT also offers small bore hollow shaft series and pancake series slip rings for selection in medical robots. The small bore hollow shaft slip rings have the advantages of small space occupation, long lifespan, and the ability to customize a wide variety of signal types. The pancake slip rings, with their inherently low thickness advantage, are suitable for medical robots with lowaxial space requirements, making them highly attractive for specialized applications.
Overall, the diverse types of slip rings provided by JINPAT cater to the specific needs of medical robots, enabling reliable and efficient operation in various medical applications.
