Beam Limiting Device for High Accuracy Radiotherapy
Siloed development stages frequently cause expensive rework and extend your market entry timeline. We synchronize mechatronic engineering and beam limiting device development from the very first innovation step. You receive a validated hardware solution that satisfies every ISO 13485 requirement and transitions into series assembly without friction.
Our Beam Limiting Devices
We develop specialized hardware modules that integrate into existing clinical architectures. Our high-performance mechatronics are engineered to endure the rigors of radiotherapy and imaging environments.
Standard MLC Systems
The EMM120 beam limiting device utilizes 120 tungsten leaves to shape a 40 x 40 cm field with high dynamic speed control. This hardware reaches leaf speeds above 50 mm/s and maintains a position resolution below 0.2 mm through high resolution PID control. A shuttle system allows the 80 mm height tungsten leaves to reach 101 percent overtravel to manage complex IMRT and VMAT field geometry. The drive architecture utilizes DC motors with integrated encoders to provide immediate feedback on leaf coordinates during active beam delivery.
Customized Collimator Solutions
We develop tailored beam limiting device architectures for FLASH, MRI based, and particle therapy to address specific clinical integration needs. These specialized modules feature non magnetic materials or piezo driven actuators to ensure functionality within high field MRI environments. Our engineering team modifies leaf thickness and geometry to deliver high resolution shaping for stereotactic radiosurgery and preclinical research. We co engineer these solutions with OEM partners through CAD exchange and rapid prototyping to accelerate the launch of next generation radiotherapy platforms.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions for Beam Limiting Devices
What is a Beam Limiting Device?
A beam limiting device shapes the therapeutic radiation field during oncology treatments to conform to the tumor volume. Multileaf collimators perform this task by using movable tungsten leaves to enable high resolution protocols while shielding healthy tissue.
How does a beam limiting device integrate with OEM LINAC systems?
Our systems connect directly to OEM architectures via Ethernet using open TCP/IP or UDP control protocols. This setup allows for real time synchronized beam logic and position verification without proprietary barriers.
Which standards apply to the design of a beam limiting device?
Development follows ISO 13485 for quality management and ISO 14971 for risk management. Additionally, the hardware meets IEC 60601-1 and 60601-2-1 standards for safety in radiotherapy environments.
Can you customize a beam limiting device for MRI guided therapy?
Yes, we offer customized MLC systems using non magnetic materials for hybrid imaging environments. These designs eliminate interference with MRI based guidance while maintaining high resolution beam control.
