MPS Bearing Co., Ltd. (CEO Son Moo-seok) announced that it will participate in the 3th International Medical Equipment and Hospital Equipment Exhibition ‘KIMES 23’, which will be held at COEX, Seoul from March 26rd (Thursday) to 38th (Sunday).
MPS Bearing is the Korean branch of MPS, a Swiss company established in Switzerland in 1936. It produces small ballscrews and linear bearings with the highest level of precision in the world through ultra-precision machining technology. , the company that has been supplying it.
In addition, by combining the motor technology and precision processing technology of its subsidiary, Faulhaber Group, it is supplying a variety of products to the medical field, including Hexapod robots and implantable actuators and pumps.
In this exhibition, MPS Bearing presents a variety of medical supplies for surgery and surgery that represent the company’s mechanical engineering technology.
In particular, as new surgical procedures including small hexapods are developed to implement minimally invasive microsurgery technology, MPS also developed micro hexapod robots and is exhibiting one of them, the Miniature micro robot for surgery. . Officials explain that this has the minimum standards in the industry, with a diameter of 50mm, a height of 80mm, and a weight of 330g. In addition, it is differentiated by its unique structure consisting of six linear actuators.
Actuators, systems, and drives developed in collaboration with urologists and orthopedic specialists to enable body transplantation will also be showcased. Components and materials that have passed strict approval, starting from the screw nut assembly, have been combined to enable smooth operation in a humid environment inside the body and to be harmless to the human body. In particular, the drive system consists of a motor and reduction gear, an energy source and an electronic control unit, and is surrounded by a sealed, biocompatible titanium shell.
Tubular optical system for eye laser surgery is also one of the products that will attract the attention of visitors. It is a precision mechanical system that ensures optimal coaxial movement and optimized laser optics, and is a component that ensures excellent treatment quality and safety in vision correction surgery that requires fine and precise incisions.
An official from MPS Bearing said, “We have developed and manufactured high-precision, high-performance, highly efficient electrical and mechanical microsystems and provided solutions that meet specific customer requirements. Our solutions are used in a variety of industrial fields. “In particular, in the medical field, we are collaborating with leading overseas medical companies by providing surgical robots, implantable pumps, and implantable actuators that reduce the risk of human error and enable fine and precise surgeries.”
He added, “Through this exhibition, we would like to seek opportunities to expand partnerships in the domestic medical market. Furthermore, we will identify industry trends and new needs of customers and use this as a stepping stone to continuously introduce better products.”
On the other hand, KIMES is an exhibition specializing in medical devices and hospital facilities that has grown steadily with the development of the Korean medical industry since its first meeting in 1980. It has transformed into a technology-intensive high-tech industry such as rehabilitation medicine.
KIMES 2023 will feature new technologies and new products suitable for the era of convergence, such as smart healthcare in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, robotic medicine and eco-friendly medical waste facilities, cutting-edge hospital facilities, medical information systems combined with IT technology, and the automobile industry for rapid patient transportation. presents. In addition, it provides a variety of information, including seminars on medical technology, new technology, and overseas marketing, as well as domestic medical industry policy seminars that will show the latest information and direction of the medical industry.
