THK IN MEDICAL EQUIPMENTS

               Robots are everywhere from science fiction to local hospital where they are changing healthcare by making a big impact on the field of medicine. Robots in medicine help by relieving medical personnel from routine tasks, that take their time away from more pressing responsibilities, and by making medical procedures safer and less costly for patients. They can also perform accurate surgery in tiny places and transport dangerous substances. They work in laboratories to take samples and transport, analyse, and store them.

                 The first robots in the medical field offered surgical assistance via robotic arm technologies. Over the years, artificial intelligence enabled computer vision and data analytics have transformed health robotics, expanding capabilities into many other areas of healthcare. Robots are now used not only in the operating room, but also in clinical settings to support health workers and enhance patient care. During the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals and clinics began deploying robots for a much wider range of tasks to help reduce exposure to pathogens. It’s become clear that the operational efficiencies and risk reduction provided by health robotics offer value in many areas.

                        Healthcare organisations globally and regionally are adopting robotic technologies to manage their operations in a variety of fields, including surgery, pharmacy, rehabilitation, telemedicine and others. As technology advances faster, and costs continue to decline, more healthcare institutions are moving towards embracing technology in proven areas. Technology has the potential to replace repetitive tasks, complete tasks with more accuracy and speed, reduce workload, provide services remotely and reduce cost.

            THK has played a important role in meeting the specialized needs of Medical Robots. THK’s portfolio of miniature splines, ball screws, cross rollers, guides, actuators and mechatronics are playing a key role in developing the next wave of advanced medical robots. This enables manufacturers to produce smaller, lighter robots, while reducing their machining cost and components, and simplifying procurement. Leading manufacturers of medical robots count on THK’s leadership with Quality. THK’s reputation with Quality helps the medical robotic industry to meet and exceed market demands, such as Relationships, Reliability, Precision, Safety, Accuracy and Innovative Machine Design.

           THK has played an active role in the development of tele-surgery robots, designing and manufacturing the robotic arms, and the arm sections of the forceps. THK actuators and linear-motion guides are being used in various mechanisms required to faithfully reproduce the movements of the surgeon and maintain patient safety during the procedure.

           THK best product –LM GUIDE is of finest use to the Medical Industry. The LM Guide, which is capable of providing smooth, quiet and clean operation is considered very effective, not only for its functionality, but also for providing comfort to the patient. For example, a patient undergoing an MRI test is less nervous throughout the process because the imaging machine emits less loud unpleasant noises. The potential of THK\'s products in this field is continuously increasing.
