n Surgical Motors
Portescap, Morristown, NJ, offers surgical
motors that are designed to withstand 3,000+
autoclave cycles. The motors and controllers
include the CNT1530 sterilizable motor controller
for surgical hand tools and new additions
to its line of Ultra EC™ brushless DC motors. With electronics and
software encapsulated in a single enclosure, the CNT1530 provides
simplified system integration. Compatible with typical NiMH and
LiOn battery voltages, it features 20 A of continuous current and can
be paired with the company's brushless DC slotted surgical motors.
The motors deliver minimal joule and iron losses while maintaining
maximum power, thanks to a proprietary U coil design. MD&M West,

n HMI and Power Solutions
Schurter, Inc., Santa Rosa, CA, has introduced
a human-machine interface unit,
which includes a projected capacitive touchscreen
(PCAP) line. Designed to meet the
needs of the medical industry, the water-resistant multi-touch
screens feature optical bonding. The company has also expanded
it TTS touchless switch series and smart connectors, as well as its
power entry module range, to include an IP54 IEC appliance inlet,
which mates with V-Lock cordsets. MD&M West, Booth 2213

n CAD/CAM Software Suite
OPEN MIND Technologies, Needham,
MA, offers medical manufacturers programming
in applications for 2.5D, 3D, and 5-axis
machining in prototype and production manufacturing,
especially when maximum speed,
precision, and flexibility are critical. The hyperMILL® MAXX
Machining provides three modules for roughing, drilling, and finish
milling on complex 5-axis components. It enables high-performance
cutting, including in challenging materials such as titanium and
stainless- steel alloys. Enabling uninterrupted cutting, the hyperMILL
3D and 5-axis equidistant finishing for machining surfaces with a uniform
3D infeed results in very fine surface finishes when used in combination
with high-precision surface mode and smooth overlap techniques.

n Electronic Valves Brochure
A new brochure from Clippard, Cincinnati, OH,
features 10- and 15-mm miniature electronic valves.
Plunger-style solenoid valves provide fast response
times. The designs are commonly utilized in applications
where mounting multiple valves on a manifold
together reduce the number of fittings, overall package size, and total
cost. Features include two- and three-way normally open or normally
closed functions; multiple voltages, connection styles, and sizes; and
standard, high flow, and latching models. The valves are customizable
and CE and RoHS compliant. MD&M West, Booth 1948

n Adjustable Keeper
Carlisle Interconnect Technologies, St.
Augustine, FL, has launched an adjustable
keeper with mounting block. An upgrade to its NAS1637 Adjustable
Keeper, the new version of the product includes upgraded materials and
finishes and other additional features that exceed the performance and
user experience of built-to-spec NAS1637 keepers. The design includes
a mounting block that allows for installation on standard ARINC 404
trays while maximizing the adjustment range of the keeper. Structural
anodized aluminum construction provides minimal concerns for galvanic
corrosion compared to the to-spec design. Lockwire holes allow
for use of 0.032 in. diameter lock wire to prevent rotation of assembly
when LRU is not installed. MD&M West, Booth 1929

n Flow Sensors
Flow sensors that provide highly accurate
and reliable measurements of gas and respiratory
flows to and from the patient are available from Sensirion, Stäfa,
Switzerland. The sensors work using the company's CMOSens®
Technology, which combines sensor element and evaluation electronics
in a single chip. The flow sensors are built into the hose system of
the MEDUMAT Standard² ventilator from Weinmann Emergency.
The sensor measures the volume being inhaled and exhaled by
patients, allowing the noninvasive ventilation, among other things, to
be optimized. Such ventilation systems are used in hospitals and are
particularly gentle on the lungs. With the MEDUMAT Standard² ventilator,
this lung-protecting ventilation can be continued even during
transport. MD&M West, Booth 2046

n High-Speed Inspection System
LaserLinc, Fairborn, OH, has launched a
high-speed, online inspection and measurement
system. The FlawSense system allows
manufacturers to detect surface defects that may arise during the
manufacturing process and to correct the process to eliminate
these. The system tracks the defects so that these sections of product
can be rejected, thus ensuring end customers receive perfect,
within specification product. The system also provides highly accurate
measurement of tube diameter and ovality. The system allows
flaws only 5 µm across to be detected, some 10 times better resolution
than camera-based systems. MD&M West, Booth 2951

n Polymer Tubing
High-precision polymer tubing is available
from Confluent Medical, Scottsdale, AZ. The
company has opened a new state-of-the-art
facility in Chattanooga, TN. Capabilities of
the new site include PTFE liners with optional tie layers, polyimide
tubing, multi-layer composite tubing (braided and non-braided), and
coated wire. Lead time varies based on quantity and construction.
According to the company, the polymer tubing technology strengthens
its vertically integrated supply chain by offering thin-walled, tightly
tolerance engineered tubing. MD&M West, Booth 1812
