Electronic know-how

Recent generation medical devices are equipped with high-capacity processors and analog interfaces for a number of different sensors and actuators. According to the respective specification, electromechanical components make sure the device is operated fully or partially automated.

For the safe operation of the device, a hardware base designed as part of the system concept is vital. Depending on the classification of the medical device, it also detects faults identified in the risk analysis.

Our qualified engineers have gained a varied experience in all fields of actuating elements, sensor technology, electrical engineering as well as analog and digital circuit technology in designing innovative and safe hardware.

The European norm IEC 62304 (norm for medical device software) defines the basic requirements for embedded software as well as stand-alone software.

The software engineers at mechatronic are experts in working with this norm and its requirements as to risk management, classification, architecture, and configuration management.

At Mechatronic, we develop innovative solutions for mechanical and electromechanical components of our customers’ medical devices with a team of experienced engineers.

We focus on 3D simulations, FEM calculations and additive production from the designing phase onwards. This is an advantage especially with small numbers of units, not only for the design of prototypes but also for series production.

Of course, we are mechanics experts, but we are also familiar with the fields of fluidics, pneumatics, optics, and electromechanics.

We know how to integrate kinematic processes and thermal requirements, which is necessary when you are dealing with the integration of electronic components such as circuit boards or motors.

As with all these solutions, it’s always about the choice of adequate materials for the number of units to be designed and for the production-related planning process.
