Surgical robots allow surgeons to perform movements with particular precision - for the benefit of the patient. Therefore, it is no surprise that this special cooperation between humans and machines is gaining ground in the medical field. A particularly important component in the drives of the robots are the brakes, which must function with the utmost precision and absolute reliability in this application. Solutions by Kendrion meet these requirements in every aspect.

The new multi-touch panel of the Vico MT 27 series from Kendrion offers three different visualization options in one embedded panel IPC.

The new "Power Pinch Valve" provides new possibilities - thanks to its uniquely high clamping force. With slim dimensions of 84 x 53 x 146 mm, the electromagnetically actuated pinch valve achieves a force of up to 42 N. It was developed in particular for hard tubes with a high hardness of 70-80 Shore, e.g. to clamp inexpensive PVC tubes safely and with maximum precision. Thus, diameters of 4-7 mm are no problem for our Power Pinch Valve due to the very high clamping force of up to 42N.

Kendrion continues revenue and profitability growth in a volatile market environment

Robotics require especially compact brakes that are tailored to the situation and operate reliably over their entire service life. The life cycle is tested by Kendrion with a special robotic test bench, which means that customers no longer need to carry out their own simulations and/or testing, thus speeding up the time-to-market. The test bench is an important tool for the development department, which has been operating with twice the manpower, combined know-how, and synergistically on behalf of customers since Kendrion’s and INTORQ’s merger.
