Abstract: A peristaltic pump includes a motor, a rotor coupled to the motor, a housing in which the rotor is arranged, and an opening and closing mechanism. The mechanism includes a tube pressuring portion, a slider, and a pivotable cover coupled to the housing and the slider and the mechanism is connected to the slider and the tube pressuring portion such that a tube engaging surface of the tube pressuring portion slides towards and away from the rotor upon closing and opening of the pivotable cover. The opening and closing mechanism further includes a slider moving element attached to the slider, the pivotable cover including a rotating shaft having an extension configured to engage the slider moving element for moving the slider and also the tube pressuring portion away and towards a top of the housing in response to a respective opening and closing of the pivotable cover.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a peristaltic pump for medical applications comprising a motor, a rotor coupled to the motor, a housing in which the rotor is arranged and an opening and closing mechanism comprising a tube pressuring portion, a slider and a pivotable cover coupled to the housing and the slider. The opening and closing mechanism is accentuated by the pivotable cover, which pivotable cover is connected to the tube pressuring portion via elastic elements. The elastic elements are thereby connected via at least one adjustable element so that the tension or pretension in the elastic element can be adjusted to tube types and material, to the viscosity of the pumped fluid and to the amount of fluid that needs to be pumped.

Abstract: A pattern generation system includes an optical system and a rotor. The optical system is configured to project a laser image onto an optical scanner. The rotor has a plurality of optical arms arranged at a first angle relative to one another, and further includes the optical scanner. The laser image is sequentially reflected by the optical scanner into each of the plurality of optical arms of the rotor to generate a pattern on a workpiece.
