Description of the modules
The floor stand comprises an articulated arm, a stand column and a stand
base. The articulated arm comprises a carrier arm and a suspension arm.
The carrier arm contains the control unit with all electrical supply systems
required for the control of a motorized surgical microscope. These motor-
ized functions can be activated using a foot control panel.
The suspension arm permits almost effortless positioning of the surgical
microscope. The spring force of the suspension arm can be varied in a
range from 8 to 20 kg, permitting reliable balancing of the microscope
even with heavy accessory equipment. The downward movement of the
suspension arm can be limited as required.
A maneuvering handle attached to the stand column is used to move the
stand and to attach the foot control panel. The stand column is provided
on its left and right with cable supports for winding up cables before the
unit is relocated. Four steerable casters on the stand base permit easy
positioning near the operating table. The stand base has been designed
in such a way that high stability is ensured even with unfavorable loading
of the stand. A locking pedal is provided to lock the floor stand quickly and
reliably into position.
Caution:
As the stand is very easy to maneuver, there is a tendency to underesti-
mate its considerable weight. Therefore, move the stand slowly and care-
fully!
