The slip ring of medical equipmen




With the development of intelligent, automated, and informatized electronic technology and medical equipment, slip rings are widely used in medical equipment, such as shadowless lamps, operating tables, CT scan, optical imagers, analytical instruments and other equipment. The application of slip ring technology enables medical equipment to achieve 360° unrestricted rotation, which greatly improves the convenience of operation and the work efficiency of the equipment. At the same time, it can stably transmit different data signals, control signals and other signal systems.To get more news about slip ring technology in ct, you can visit grandslipring.com official website.
Such as CT scanner transmits image data from a rotating x-ray detector to a stationary data processing computer, while retaining image clarity in the process. Due to the rigorous demands on their subsystems and components, CT scanners require reliable, high performance slip rings that can offer increasing data transmission and the reliability required in medical applications.

The slip ring for medical equipment developed by 3KM LINK is not only more compact in structure, but also meets the demanding space requirements; it adopts a unique single-channel multi-point touch design, which reduces the resistance fluctuation value by an order of magnitude, low electrical noise, unique shielding mode, strong anti-interference ability; modular design, and a variety of installation methods for optional, combines transmission of digital signals, analog signals, Ethernet signals, control signals, power, etc.

CT scanners operate by rotating an x-ray tube and an x-ray detector array around the patient at rotational speeds of 120-280 RPM. A beam of x-rays is directed through the patient’s body to be captured by the detector array for subsequent image creation. One of the key technologies behind the dramatic improvement in CT performance is slip ring innovation that enables increasingly improved images and diagnostic functionality. As a world leader in slip ring design and manufacturing, Moog works with many key CT system manufacturers to provide reliable large diameter slip ring solutions.

Error-free transmission of the image data from the x-ray detector array at data speeds of up to and exceeding 20 Gigabit per second is the key element of CT slip ring design. Moog accomplishes this transfer with either optical or capacitive data channels. Electrical power of several kilowatts is transferred across sliding electrical contacts on a one-meter diameter ring at 200+ RPM using patented fiber brush technology.
