Components for Dental Treatment Units and Medical Treatment Chairs: Comfort and Function in Focus

A modern treatment unit is much more than just a conventional examination chair. It is a comprehensive platform that supports the medical treatment process with a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic instruments. These multifunctional units are designed to provide practitioners with an ergonomic and efficient working environment that automates and optimizes many routine tasks. The integration of modern technology not only makes work easier, but also more precise and safer.

Sensor Components for Dental Chairs: Position Sensors for adjusting the Medical Treatment Chair

A particularly important component of modern treatment units are the position sensors. The position sensors by EBE sensors + motion are characterized by their compact design which allows them to fit into even the smallest housings. Their robust construction makes them durable and reliable – not only in the medical field but also in industry where they prove themselves in continuous operation. These sensors enable precise adjustment of the examination table and help ensure that the practitioner can set an optimal position for treating the patient. This not only increases the patient’s comfort, but also the practitioner’s efficiency.

Level Sensors for Integrated and Removable Containers

Another aspect of modern treatment units is the level sensor technology. Especially around the spittoon bowl various liquid levels need to be monitored, such as water additives or the level of the amalgam separator. The level sensors made by EBE are contactless and, therefore, particularly hygienic. Their compact dimensions allow for reliable monitoring even in confined spaces, which is essential for the safety and efficiency of the workflow.

HMI Components for Treatment Chairs: Buttons, Rotary Encoders and Sliders on the Control Units

The user interfaces of the treatment units are also of great importance. Since they often become dirty during treatment, they must be easy to clean. The frequently used membrane keyboards often become unreadable over time or the mechanical keys are defective. Capacitive touch sensors and sliders are completely flush with the surface. Continuous operation and frequent cleansing will not affect them. Further control elements such as rotary encoders and rotary switches can be realized water-proof, or capacitive encoders, analogous to sensor buttons, can be installed beneath the completely closed surface.
