AI Technical Summary
Surgical tables lack the ability to incline their tabletops over a wide range of angles about two orthogonal axes, requiring robust actuators that are costly and complex, and lack mechanisms for easy height adjustment and monitoring of actuator states and movements.
A surgical table design featuring a mechanism with a first and second frame connected to the tabletop and column via actuators, allowing rotational movement about orthogonal axes, and a system for monitoring actuator states and movements, including a controller for adjusting the height of the table.
Enables greater versatility in table positioning, reduces the robustness requirements of actuators, and provides efficient monitoring and adjustment capabilities, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.
