It requires multiple devices to shape gamma ray radiation therapy beams, and each has to be precisely controlled by one interlinked motion control system.
When it came to designing a multi-leaf collimator (MLC) device, ViewRay (Oakwood Village, OH) took on the challenge to produce an end product that would be more accurate than others on the market. ViewRay collaborated with maxon precision motors for critical components, including a custom motherboard, motors, encoders, gearheads, and individual motor control modules,” according to an engineering team member.
