Specific Requirements and Technical Solutions

Ensuring Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

In medical environments where a variety of highly sensitive electronic devices are operated simultaneously, preventing electromagnetic interactions is vital. ALDERS supplies high-quality inductive components such as coils and chokes from our partner Cambion Electronics Limited for this purpose. These components are essential for building effective EMC filters that eliminate interfering signals, thus guaranteeing the precise function of life-sustaining systems or diagnostic instruments. The high quality of these components ensures that medical devices consistently meet stringent regulatory requirements for immunity.

Hermetic Sealing against Liquids and Gases

Medical devices must be regularly disinfected to ensure sterility. Neither cleaning chemicals nor body fluids should enter the housing interior. ALDERS offers self-sealing screws and nuts from APM HEXSEAL for this purpose. Thanks to the silicone sealing rings integrated into the screw head, a pressure-tight connection is established during screwing, reliably preventing the ingress of media. This solution protects the internal electronics from corrosion and short circuits without impairing the mechanical stability of the housing construction.

High-Precision Human-Machine Interfaces for Surgery and Diagnostics

Millimeter-accurate adjustment is required for controlling operating microscopes, surgical robots, or imaging procedures such as MRI and CT. ALDERS supplies high-precision joysticks from GT Joysticks and specialized keyboard solutions from CTI Electronics for this purpose. These control elements are characterized by exceptional linearity and clear haptic feedback. For clinical clean rooms, we also offer keyboards that are specially designed for easy disinfection, while micro switches and pushbuttons from OTTO Controls guarantee a mechanical lifespan of several million cycles.

Individual Engineering Services and Small Series

The development of innovative medical technology often requires components that are precisely tailored to specific installation spaces or functional requirements. ALDERS acts as an extended workbench here and realizes customer-specific small series. We take care of precise cable assembly, modify switch housings, or carry out protective potting work to make components resistant to vibrations or moisture. Through our direct exchange with premium manufacturers, we ensure that even individual special solutions meet the highest certification requirements of the medical technology industry.
