Medical/Dental Equipment

Medical and dental equipment demand precise, repeatable motion with high reliability and adherence to stringent quality standards. Strategi Automation supports OEMs in this segment with PC-based multi-axis motion controllers, AC servo systems, and PLCs tailored for diagnostic, treatment, and laboratory equipment.

PC based multi axis motion controllers

PC-Based Multi-Axis Motion Controllers

PC-based multi-axis controllers are ideal for complex medical and dental systems requiring coordinated, high-precision motion such as dental CAD/CAM milling machines, imaging stages, automated sample handlers, and micro-positioning devices. They combine deterministic real-time motion control with the flexibility of a PC platform for visualization, data logging, and user-specific applications.

 

  • Control of multiple interpolated axes for accurate tool paths and contouring.
  • Support for servo and stepper axes, I/O, and advanced motion profiles (linear,
  • circular, helical).
  • Easy integration with custom GUIs, databases, vision systems, and hospital/lab IT systems.
  • Well suited for dental milling units, implant machining, automated diagnostics, and life-science instruments.

AC Servo and drives

AC Servo Motors and Digital Servo Drives

AC servo systems provide high dynamic performance and precise positioning for modern medical and dental equipment. They are widely used in spindle drives for dental milling machines to ensure smooth, accurate cutting. Precision linear axes in imaging and scanning systems rely on servo control for stable, repeatable motion. Servo systems also enable accurate dosing and dispensing in medical devices.

 

  • High-resolution feedback for smooth motion, fine positioning, and contour accuracy.
  • Fast response and high bandwidth for short cycle times and precise repeatability.
  • Compact, low-noise designs suitable for clinical and laboratory environments.
  • Solutions that support compliance with international safety and EMC standards used in medical devices.

PLC

PLC-Based Control Systems

PLCs provide robust and deterministic control for peripheral and safety-related functions in medical and dental machines. They complement PC-based motion controllers by handling non-motion and safety-critical tasks. PLCs manage interlocks to ensure safe machine operation. They control utilities, alarms, and system status monitoring. PLCs also handle communication with operator interfaces and supervisory systems.

 

  • Reliable control for pumps, valves, heaters, actuators, and environmental subsystems.
  • Seamless communication with motion controllers, drives, HMIs, and data logging systems.
  • Support for self-diagnostics, alarm logging, and maintenance functions to aid service and compliance records.
  • Ideal for sterilizers, chair and table positioning, fluid management, and lab automation.
