Encoders drive performance in sterilizable surgical hand tools
As the capabilities of control systems grow, so do potential use cases for surgical hand tools. These increasingly sophisticated motion profiles demand more accurate speed and position information in a closed-loop system than can be provided with traditional feedback methods and must also withstand the rigors of sterilization within an autoclave.
Designers of surgical hand tools are constantly looking to develop ever more sophisticated products that will address the needs of the most challenging procedures and provide the highest levels of safety. As a result, the motion profiles for these tools are becoming increasingly complex, requiring increased quality and quantity of feedback data in a closed loop system.
