Motion Control Solutions for Medical and Life Science Automation

Medical and life science equipment demands a unique combination of precision, reliability, and compliance with strict regulatory standards. Copley Controls digital servo drives are engineered to deliver the exacting control required for critical applications — from advanced imaging systems and robotic surgery platforms to automated laboratory equipment. Drawing upon our decades of technical expertise, our drives incorporate high-bandwidth nested loops and advanced control algorithms, achieving the positioning accuracies necessary for diagnostic accuracy and patient safety. Field Oriented Control technology optimizes motor operation for efficiency, contributing to cooler performance — a crucial factor in sensitive medical environments where performance cannot be compromised.

Advanced Technology

We designed our digital servo drives with robust thermal management technology to ensure reliable operation — even under demanding, high-power conditions often encountered in medical applications requiring continuous use. Their compact and lightweight designs also facilitate seamless integration into space-constrained medical devices, allowing for direct mounting on motors or within robotic joints.

Other advanced technical features include:

Field Oriented Control: Optimizes magnetic field orientation for efficient, cooler motor operation.

High-bandwidth nested loops: Support precise positioning and smooth operation.

Biquad filtering: Customizable notch or low-pass filters for optimized performance.

High-resolution current control: Enables highly demanding precision applications.

Comprehensive feedback options: Support a wide range of feedback devices, including digital encoders, analog sin/cos, BiSS, SSI, EnDat and resolvers.

Compliance and safety: We maintain ISO 9001:2015 certification, demonstrating a commitment to quality management systems. Our servo drives conform to relevant UL/IEC standards and include Safe Torque Off (STO) capability for SIL 3 (IEC 61800-5-2) and Category 3 PL d (ISO 13849-1) applications.

Applications

Our digital servo drives are revolutionizing medical technology across multiple applications:

Medical Imaging: Providing precise control in systems like MRI for high-resolution images.
Robotic Surgery: Enabling the delicate precision needed for minimally invasive procedures.
Laboratory Automation: Controlling sample handling with repeatable accuracy.
Life Sciences Research: Supporting consistent experimental results with precise motion control.
