KR QUANTEC HC: Robot for integration into medical devices for high payloads

The KR QUANTEC HC can be used to position heavy medical devices exactly. Additional functions such as double brakes increase safety and thus make the integrated robot ideal for examinations and therapies in the healthcare sector.

Robotics in the healthcare sector: the KR QUANTEC HC

Robots for high payloads up to 300 kg play an important role in the development of medical devices. They are used in systems designed to move heavy medical equipment such as a linear accelerator for radiotherapy or C-arm X-ray imaging. Particularly in applications such as diagnostics, radiation therapy and rehabilitation, medical devices based on the KR QUANTEC HC industrial robot enable high-precision examinations and treatments of patients.

Examinations and treatments are carried out in the healthcare sector with systems based on the KR QUANTEC HC.

Innovative technology as a key to enhanced safety and patient care

The KR QUANTEC HC is a prime example of the fusion of innovative technology and aesthetics in a compact design developed in Germany. Its outstanding stiffness and special mechanical system ensure accuracy in the submillimeter range, which greatly increases the treatment quality of our partners. Its robust design helps reduce hospital maintenance costs and servicing effort. The versatile properties of robotics allow flexible integration into a wide range of medical systems and support our partners in increasing the safety of their products and opening up new applications in the field of medical robotics.

Additional brakes

Additional brakes are integrated in axes 2 to 5, which ensure that the robot is stopped in the event of a fault.
Safe cable guide

A flexible tube protects the cables from friction by means of repetitive motions and thus from possible tearing.
Continuous pressure monitoring

An additional digitally readable pressure sensor indicates pressure abnormalities.
Manual recovery system

In the event of an emergency, such as a power failure, a manual recovery system makes it possible to move the robot manually even during an examination or therapy.

Additional features of KUKA robotics for safe, demand-oriented use in healthcare

Safety zones of the robot can be freely defined

Certain safety zones that remain inaccessible during an examination can be defined in the workspace of the integrated KR QUANTEC HC. These safe spaces also result from the individually adjustable limits of the robot joints. The short stopping distances of the robot ensure additional safety.

Designed for medical applications

Thanks to its compact design, the integrated KR QUANTEC HC can also be used in small spaces for examinations. Its surface offers the possibility of attaching trim parts to customize the system design. The particularly high load-bearing capacity of the robot has also been tested for reliable use in medicine.

Interfaces for reliable integration

The KR QUANTEC HC is not only equipped with a real-time communication interface, but can generally be easily integrated into a medical product and allows for external control of the robot position.

Technically tested safety

KUKA robots such as the KR QUANTEC HC offer safe inputs and outputs for better system integration. These comply with safety standards in accordance with ISO 13849: PL d category 3, as well as according to IEC 62061, SIL 2: based on IEC 61508.
