Configurable 120 Leaf Multileaf Collimator
for precise field shaping
Our EMM120 Standard MLCs are compact, robust and cost-effective solutions for clinical and OEM beam-shaping applications. With a 40×40 cm field shaped by 120 leaves and a highly dynamic speed control, they cover a wide range of use cases – offering precise field shaping, optimized leaf geometry and compatibility with conventional radiotherapy system architecture.

- Shuttle system to reach full (101%) overtravel
Motor & Drive System
- Industry gold standard DC motors with integrated encoders
- High-speed leaf motion (> 50 mm/s) at 200 Hz control frequency and micropositioning (<0.2 mm)
- 40 kHz double-loop PID control with high reproducibility
Control Integration
- TCP/IP or UDP protocol support
- Real-time motion verification with closed-loop feedback
- Various options for secondary feedback system / encoders
Materials & Durability
- 80 mm height Tungsten leaves (≥95 % W)
- Ultraprecise machining and tongue & groove design ensures <<1 % interleaf leakage for optimal dose conformity
Why Conventional Collimators Fall Short in Radiotherapy
Modern radiotherapy demands fast, accurate beam shaping and reliable dose conformity. Conventional collimators often lack the control precision, integration flexibility, and durability required for OEM and clinical use.
Limited field sizes and accuracy
MLCs typically are designed for the very device they are mounted on – applying it to any other machine will come with many hard to accept compromises.
Integration Complexity
Many beam-limiting devices rely on closed or proprietary interfaces that slow OEM development and LINAC integration.
Availability
MLCs are traditionally considered core IP to any LINAC manufacturer. We make the technology vendor agnostic with global availability. So you don’t have to “reinvent the wheel”.
Maintenance and Downtime
Non-modular designs require full system disassembly during service, increasing cost and downtime in clinical environments.
Advantages and Benefits
The EMM120 Standard MLC eliminates these limitations through gold standard specs, precise motor control, and open integration protocols. Built in Germany under ISO 13485, it provides stable beam shaping, long-term reliability, and OEM-ready interfacing for global radiotherapy systems.
