Description of the modules
The S88 floor stand comprises the articulated arm, the motorized stand
lifting column and the 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. You can con-
trol the motorized functions via a foot control panel or a hand 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.
The height of the stand column can be set via a motorized function. The
lifting column allows the continuous positioning of the surgical microscope
within a lifting range of 530 mm to set the optimum viewing height of the
microscope or to move downwards into the transport position. A maneu-
vering 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 relo-
cated. 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 permits the S( floor stand to be locked in position
quickly and reliably.
Note:
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!
