Preparing for the surgical
robot boom
With greater investment from
healthcare organisations and
surgical robot technology
about to become generic, the
conditions are perfect for a
boom in the surgical robotics
market.
But how can design engineers
and technical medical staff
ensure these new systems
operate reliably and safely?
Michele Windsor, global
marketing manager at surgical
robot battery manufacturer
Accutronics, has a solution.
While they may sometimes
feel like a new medical
technology, surgical robots
have actually been around for
several decades. The first robot
system successfully conducted
a neurosurgical biopsy in
1985, while the US Food and
Drug Administration (FDA)
approved its first surgical
robot — the da Vinci surgical
system — in 2000.

A New Standard For
Collaborative Automation
Platforms
It has never been easier
to create supremely safe,
off-the-shelf, tailored
collaborative robot solutions
that boost productivity
irrespective of company size,
the nature of its products
or production volume. This
breakthrough is thanks to
new UR e-Series cobots
whose unique features allow
RARUK Automation to provide
highly cost-effective systems
– often in combination with
other automation products
– that promise long term
productivity gains.
World’s #1 collaborative robot.
Installed and running in
more than 50 countries.
We invented the collaborative robot in 2008. Today we are still market leaders thanks to our
unique, user-friendly plug and produce technology, 24-hours productivity and fast payback
time.

The new UR e-Series from
RARUK Automation comprises
three models whose payload
is from 3kg to 10kg with a
reach radius from 500mm to
1300mm.
They all provide significant
user benefits and the first
is quick and highly flexible
deployment. These cobots
are lightweight, space saving
and easily applied to multiple
tasks without changing
production layout.
