Robotic Surgery Haptic feedback with Interface Load Cells

Invasive surgery at the hands of robotics requires precision, unlike many other applications. The accuracy of haptic force feedback ensures patient safety during surgery. Without effective testing of force, torque, and tactile feedback from the robotic arms, biomechanical medical companies could not introduce meaningful innovations in remote surgery.

These products also measure the torque being produced, ensuring the robot arm moves smoothly and at the right speeds to mirror the movements of their operators.

Interface Force’s Interface Mini™ Solution

Interface Force’s load cells and torque transducers measure force feedback to ensure that robotic arms use the perfect amount of force when using surgical tools to create incisions during surgeries. These products also measure the torque being produced, ensuring the robot arm moves smoothly and at the right speeds to mirror the movements of their operators.

Interface Force’s ConvextBT Load Button Load Cell, SMTM Micto S-Type Load Cell, and MRTP Miniature Overload Protected Flange Style Reaction Torque Transducer measure force and torque on robotic arms. Connected to the 9330 Battery Powered High-Speed Data Logging Indicator, results can be conveniently viewed from a laptop, offering flexibility and mobility.

Why Interface Force's Interface Mini™ Leads the Market

Interface Force’s series of load cell and torque products gives biomechanical medical companies measurement accuracy to confidently put safe, life-changing products into the market. The ConvextBT Load Button Load Cell measures the force of specific surgical tools themselves, such as clamps and pinchers. SMTM Micto S-Type Load Cell mounts at the tool attachment mechanism to measure the exact forces being applied to surgical tools. MRTP Miniature Overload Protected Flange Style Reaction Torque Transducer mount between the robot arm’s motor and joint to measure the torque of the arm’s movements. And the BX8 8-Channel Data Acquisition System and Amplifier measures results from all three force sensors to be viewed and recorded using the BX8.

Together this suite of solutions affords precision remote surgery solutions to doctors around the world.
