Proven Results: Precision Machining and Manufacturing Are Revolutionizing Surgical Robotics
by Amy Jeary Surgical robotics has already revolutionized many surgical applications and will continue to do so, allowing for minimally invasive procedures that result in faster recovery times, less pain, and fewer complications for patients. However, the success of robotic surgeries depend on the precision and accuracy of the console’s individual components, and this is where precision machining and manufacturing come in. Precision machining and manufacturing involve the use of advanced computer-controlled machines to produce highly accurate and consistent components. In surgical robotics, these critical components include the end-effectors and patient interfacing instruments, camera and visualization instruments, the surgeon’s control module, and robotic arms for translating motion. To achieve the precision required in surgical robotics, manufacturers use a variety of techniques, such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and…
