#1 Safety
You should be able to trust your LINAK® system. Therefore, all our healthcare products have a number of built-in safety features.
- For example, our actuators have options like safety nuts, electrical and mechanical end stop, self-lock, spline to prevent accidental squeezing, quick release and emergency lowering functions.
- Our control boxes are equipped with intelligent power supplies, monitoring of power consumption and temperature, and fault condition indicators.
- Our hand controls can lock specific functions and are tested for medical use on locations where high demands are placed on materials and durability.
#2 Lifting power and speed
As the population grows taller and heavier, there is a need for applications with increased strength to meet the increased weight requirements. At the same time, it is important that the increased weight does not significantly change the lifting speed. That is why at LINAK we focus on developing products that have increased lifting power and at the same time increased speed at high loads.
For example, our LC3 lifting column can lift up to 6,000 N and still maintain a speed of 11mm/sec. The LA40 actuator can lift up to 8,000 N and still maintain a speed of 6.5mm/sec.
#3 Washability
At LINAK, we take hygiene seriously. The product safety standard IEC 60601 for Medical electrical equipment requires that “machine washable” healthcare equipment must be able to withstand 50 washes in an automatic washing system.
At LINAK, we want to do better! We aim for our products to work flawlessly – even after years of frequent cleaning in a modern washing system. Therefore, our testing is much stricter than the IEC 60601 standard requires. Many of our products are tested to withstand as much as 250 washes, so we have added our own standard, i.e. IPX6 Washable DURA™.
#4 Customised software
When you choose a digital LINAK system for your application, you will always receive software which has been designed specifically for you. This way, we ensure that your application will work exactly the way you want it to.
We have many specialists who work exclusively with programming software for applications like yours. Therefore, we can also be your competent sparring partner and help you choose the best solution. We are with you every step of the way – from finalising the specifications to conducting the final tests.
#5 Broad product programme
In LINAK MEDLINE® and CARELINE® we are proud to have one of the broadest product programmes on the market. We have a wide range of actuators, lifting columns, control boxes and controls, giving you many choices when designing your application.
What is most important to you? Should the control box be washable or battery powered? Is the actuator for heavy or light loads? Whatever your needs, we have a product to match.
We are constantly expanding our product programme. We endeavour to always be at the forefront of technology and listen to our customers and the trends in the market. This allows us to present the latest products, so our customers can be first movers, and it also explains why LINAK now holds over 1,200 patents.
