New actuator systems from LINAK make it more attractive to have electric adjustment of couches and tables for treatment and examination. As well as ample power, speed, stability, and several safety features, design and system flexibility now plays a significant part too.

For many healthcare practitioners the adjustable treatment couch is the most important piece of equipment. It must be able to safely elevate the patients – regardless of their build – and preferably do so in a fast and comfortable manner. Every day for many years!

With the introduction of the linear actuators LA20 and LA40 HP (high performance) and the new LINAK OpenBus™ control boxes, i.e. CO41, CO61, and CO71, adjustment of treatment couches has stepped into a new era. Now performance and comfort go hand in hand with couch design and offers more options than ever before.

Integrate power and functionality with great design

Many practitioners today seek to create a relaxing and almost homely environment around their clinic. This requires manufacturers of healthcare equipment to also pay attention to design when developing applications for treatment.

This focus has filtered through to LINAK as well. Decades of accumulated knowledge about smooth adjustment, complex movement patterns and, not least, intuitive control units, has merged with more elegant product designs. Building an actuator system of LINAK products will allow users to have:

• The power and the reliability of, for example, the LA40 HP
• Advanced movement patterns provided by an OpenBus™ control box
• Intuitive hand control with, for example, an HB30
• Improved ergonomics with a footswitch FS3

All are integrated with treatment couch without compromising the overall design. The compact design of the LA20 and the clever cable management ensures an aesthetic visual appearance.

Furthermore, everything for treatment applications in the LINAK product portfolio fits together, allowing users to put together a system optional for their specific application – basic, medium, or advanced.
