Description of the modules
The S8 floor stand comprises an articulated arm, a column and a stand
base. The articulated arm consists of a carrier arm and a suspension arm.
The carrier arm contains the control panel with all electrical supplies re-
quired to control a motorized surgical microscope. The motorized func-
tions can be controlled using a foot control panel or hand control panel.
The suspension arm allows 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 attached. The range of downward
travel of the suspension arm can be adjusted as required using the screw
for limiting downward movement.
A tiltable maneuvering handle for moving the stand is mounted on the
column. The brackets on the column are used for hanging up the foot con-
trol panel and winding up the power cord.
The base is easy to move on its four casters. The base has been designed
in such a way that high stability is guaranteed even with unfavorable
loading of the stand. A brake allows the S8 floor stand to be quickly and
reliably secured in position.
Note:
As the stand can be maneuvered very easily, there is a tendency to un-
derestimate its weight. Therefore, move the stand slowly and carefully!
