About Us
With their tiny size and high precision, our unique micro-mechatronic motion systems are easily embedded into OEM robotic surgical tools, endoscopes, implantable devices, biometric detection devices and precision analytical instrumentation. Each tiny module is a complete closed-loop motion system integrating a piezoelectric motor, drive ASIC, position sensor, microprocessor and firmware, and mechanical coupling customized to your application. Use them in:
Microfluidics. Move optics in microfluidics-based instruments for flow cytometry, DNA identification, pathogen detection, DNA sequencing and more. They enable smaller, field-portable systems and faster, lower-cost tests.
Endoscopic surgery. Small enough to fit inside the endoscope head, our mechatronics systems can steer a beam in an endoscopic laser scalpel, focus a lens in an in vivo camera, manipulate a scraper, collect a sample or dispense a liquid. All without the need for a cable control system.
Medical imaging. Use our modules for lens control and laser tuning in diagnostic imaging systems. Their small size and precision enable point of care diagnostics, real-time automated data collection and augmented vision systems.
Implantable devices. Our mechatronic systems allow motion and adjustment of implanted devices in situ. Applications include drug delivery, orthopedics (bone growth and spine straightening), audiology, neurology, pain management, sleep apnea treatment and more. The implanted devices can be non-magnetic and MRI-safe.
Robotic surgical devices. Everything from robotic grippers and retractors to miniature mobile robots for minimally invasive surgery.
Benefits
M3 micro mechatronic modules are:
Small – for implantable and portable devices
Precise – for extremely accurate positioning or dosing
Quiet – for unobtrusive wearable medical devices
Robust – for high reliability
Efficient – battery-operated with lower power consumption than traditional micro-motors
