Actuator systems for operating tables
Power, precision, and smooth movement in advanced surgery applications

LINAK.COM/MEDLINE-CARELINE2

Operating with precision, power, speed, and profound flexibility

As treatment in hospitals gets more and more advanced, the requirements
to modern medical equipment increase in number and complexity. Precise
movement patterns, multiple memorised positions and not least – sufficient
power and strength to operate unaffected by heavy loads. Those are factors
healthcare professionals must trust, in order to deliver efficient surgery andtreatment.

Flexible solutions for individual needs
The LINAK® product range is quite extensive. This is no coincidence. From 35
years of experience we know that no two solutions are alike. Needs vary withthe specialities of each hospital. When it comes to advanced medical equipment, LINAK offers a broad variety of solutions covering complex movement,
precise and intuitive control, and a wealth of value adding features. All thismakes it possible for you to design the exact application requested, e.g. an
operating table or a surgery chair.

“We pride ourselves on being experts
in electric actuator technology. Overthe last 30 years, we have learned thatno two applications are alike and ourcustomers’ needs vary a great deal. To
be the best manufacturer we can be,
and to meet their specific needs, webelieve it is important to work handin hand with our customers to further
develop our wide range of products.”- David Genske
Director MEDLINE® & CARELINE®, LINAK US

Smooth movement in advanced patterns
Electric actuator systems from LINAK are signified by smooth and low-noise
adjustment. LINAK OpenBus™ in combination with LINAK CO-Link™ makes
it possible to combine up to eight different actuators and create an almost
endless number of smooth and precise movement patterns. The lifting column
LC3 and actuators such as the LA40 HP, LA31, and LA20 ensure you have thepower needed to position even very heavy loads.

LINAK is more than a product supplier
For decades, the recipe for success at LINAK has been listening to ourcustomers. We are more than a product supplier, offering you collaboration
through the application development phase, testing and integration. From ourmore than 30 local offices across the world we offer continuous support andservice – also after the project has been implemented.

Surgeons and other specialised healthcare professionals need to be able tofully trust their operating table. A combination of power, precision, and control of complex movement patterns is required – not only to support quality
treatment and patient safety, but also to optimise ergonomics and generalefficiency in the operating room.
The broad product range makes the number of LINAK® system combinations
almost endless. The compliance of our products with required norms andstandards, makes it easier for you to obtain the necessary approvals.

The lifting columns

The battery series
The Li-Ion batteries help deliver ample power to provide constant speed andreliable performance. They are making workflows smooth for care staff too.
Li-Ion batteries, such as the BA21, are also eco-friendly.

The hand control series
Informative and intuitive interface controls such as the HB80 or ACO ensure
performance perfection. Controlling the advanced movements are all at yourfingertips.

No doubt the lifting column LC3 is one of a kind. With a push of up to
6,000 N, a 4,000 N pull, and an extremely high bending moment thiscolumn moves anything – heavy loads as part of an advanced operatingtable standing on the floor or carrying equipment hanging from the ceilingabove.

The linear actuator series
The LA40 HP is a powerful actuator able to deliver a 400 mm push of 8,000
N full-stroke. At 6.5 mm/s this strong actuator means precise positioningat high speed. Utilising actuators such as the LA31, you obtain precision
movement in both push and pull functions. The small inline actuator LA20
offers adjustment where space is limited or elegant design matters.

The control box series
Our control boxes are the brain of our systems, housing several of theintelligent safety features. Position feedback and ensure safe use andflawless performance. The LINAK OpenBus™ series CO41, CO61, andCO71 house the customised software making the most advanced
movement possible.
Together with the LINAK Port Junction box PJ2 it is possible to offertwo extra channels (channel 5 and 6) for the CO-box series.

LINAK SDT- a Service Data Tool
SDT is an accessory to your actuator system. It
enables you to read status/service data fromyour system about wear and tear and offers
information about battery status – altogether
ensuring that the operating table is fully
functional at all times.

Increase efficiency in the operating room
Advanced medical procedures, such as surgery, demand steadiness, andprecision. A LINAK® powered operating table fully supports this and ensures
optimal working conditions for healthcare professionals. Efficiency is key tokeep patients anaesthetised as shortly as possible and for surgeons to keepup with the growing number of patients.
A modern operating table or surgery chair needs to be intuitive to operate
and easy to use, offering patients a maximum of comfort and healthcare
professionals optimal ergonomics, a higher level of efficiency, and a wealth ofoptions for setting memorised positions.
That is why LINAK actuator systems for healthcare applications come withseveral safety features, such as:• mechanical end-stop• safety-nut• ratchet spline• self-lock
LINAK also strives to accommodate professionals in numerous ways:• hand controls, such as the HB80, are suitable for operating tables• control panels, like the ACO and the ACC, offer healthcare professionals
full control over advanced functions• Li-Ion batteries are very reliable• Service Data Tool helps plan maintenance to ensure full performance
