Promoting Health with Precision Technology

Medical devices for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases must operate precisely and reliably. As a specialist in automation technology, Hengstler supplies manufacturers of medical technology devices with components such as encoders, counters, relays, and cutters.

Encoders like the AD36 and AD35 are used, for example, in proton beam therapy to ensure during tumor irradiation that no healthy tissue is damaged. In surgical robots, these encoders guarantee in microsurgical procedures that the exact position of the surgical instruments is displayed to the surgeon. Other application examples include CT scanners and mammography systems.

Hengstler counters help detect wear in medical monitoring devices at an early stage, preventing dangerous malfunctions. Application examples include X-ray systems, ballasts for cold light lamps (used in endoscopy), as well as ventilators and analysis systems.

In drug dosing systems, Hengstler cutters are used: they are characterized by being maintenance-free, self-sharpening, and available in various cutting widths. Hengstler relays, among other things, ensure switching from ECG mode to the high-voltage section in defibrillators, so that semiconductors can trigger the life-saving electrical impulse.

All of Hengstler’s medical technology components stand out for being individually tailored to customer requirements. The service also includes batch size 1 production and application-specific consulting in advance.
