Radiosurgery is a medical procedure that uses targeted radiation to remove cancerous tumors or masses in the body. Radiosurgery robots are used to target theses abnormalities and deliver radiation through a minimally invasive way, with high precision and accuracy. Load cells are needed to test and calibrate the robotic arm before affecting a patient.
Our multi-axis load cell was used to test & monitor the radiosurgery robot, enabling it to handle precise movements before being used in surgery.
Interface’s 6A40A 6-Axis Load Cell can be installed at the joints of the radiosurgery robot. The amount of force and torque exerted must be monitored in order to ensure each joint can handle the precise movements and loads without failing. These results can be logged, displayed, and measured when connected to Interface’s BX8-HD44 BlueDAQ Series Data Acquisition System with included BlueDAQ software.
The customer was able to test and monitor the radiosurgery robot with Interface’s multi-axis load cell, ensuring it was able to handle precise movements before being used in surgery.
