  • Publication number: 20200337654
    Abstract: A patient radiation device has a patient positioning device with a patient receptacle, wherein the patient positioning device is able to carry out at least a horizontal movement of the patient receptacle. A radiation source is provided. An imaging device with an imaging unit is provided to produce an image in an imaging plane. A linear movement device is provided to move the imaging unit along a vertical movement axis. The imaging unit is able to perform a rotation about a horizontally arranged axis of rotation so that imaging can be performed on patients that are seated and on patients that are lying on a table.

  • Patent number: 10427056
    Abstract: A seating device for connection to a movement mechanism includes at least one seat and a fastening flange. The fastening flange has at least one flange clamping receptacle, and the seat has at least two seat clamping receptacles for connection to the fastening flange. At least one clamping device is provided, which extends in the direction of a clamping axis. The flange clamping receptacle is arranged in the direction of the clamping axis between two of the at least two seat clamping receptacles. The clamping device passes through the two seat clamping receptacles arranged on either side of the flange clamping receptacle and clamps them together in the direction of the clamping axis.

  • Publication number: 20160207205
    Abstract: A simulator is provided with a frame and a base supported on the frame. A robot arm is connected to the base and connected through the base to the frame. A receptacle for a user is provided. The receptacle has one or more input/output devices and is mounted on the robot arm. A simulation control device is connected by a data connection and an energy transmission connection to the one or more input/output devices. One or more electrical drives are connected to the robot arm and enable pivot movements about one or more rotary movement axes. A robot control device controls the one or more electric drives, wherein the robot control device is secured on the base. The base is supported on the frame so as to be continuously rotatable about a first one of the one or more rotary movement axes.

  • Publication number: 20150327818
    Abstract: A patient positioning device is provided with a patient support, a movement device, and a pivoting device connecting the patient support to the movement device. The movement device moves the patient support by enabling translational movements of the patient support in directions of the three spatial axes x, y, z of a coordinate system and rotational movements of the patient support about the three spatial axes x, y, z. The pivoting device enables a pivot movement of the patient support relative to the movement device about a horizontal pivot axis. The movement device is preferably a robot arm.
