Stäubli Robotics has introduced the TX2-60L MedX Ready, a high-precision six-axis robot engineered for medical and surgical applications. Developed within an ISO 13485-compliant Quality Management System, the robot is designed to meet the stringent requirements of operating rooms and medical device systems.
Key takeaways
- MedXguiding: An intuitive manual guidance function with configurable transparency and compliance, enabling precise instrument positioning while maintaining safe, controlled motion.
- ISO 13485 QMS: Developed at an ISO 13485-certified site, ensuring rigorous process discipline and quality documentation to streamline audits and accelerate time-to-market.
- Validation & Documentation: Each robot includes a comprehensive package with certificates, control plans, inspection reports, and component traceability, reducing integration risks and regulatory workload.
The TX2-60L MedX Ready builds on Stäubli's legacy in medical robotics, which began with the first documented robot-assisted surgical procedure in 1985. It has since supported systems like Zimmer Biomet's ROSA One Brain and Quantum Surgical's Epione. With a compact, rigid design and high connectivity, the robot is positioned as a reliable platform for medical device manufacturers and integrators, backed by global service and lifecycle support.
