Product Overview
The Linker is a precision-engineered connection component designed to integrate robotic arms and surgical instruments within advanced robotic-assisted surgical systems.
Manufactured by TARUK Medical Instruments, the Linker enables stable mechanical integration, precise alignment, and controlled motion transfer between modular elements in orthopedic robotic platforms.
Engineered for dimensional accuracy, mechanical reliability, and repeatable performance, this component enhances the safety, efficiency, and consistency of complex orthopedic and spine-related procedures.
Application & Integration
Within robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery, the Linker is used to secure and support the surgical tracker positioned between the robot’s active arm and the end-effector instrument.
Its primary function is to translate robotic movement into smooth, predictable instrument motion while maintaining calibration and alignment throughout the procedure.
Applications include:
● Robotic-assisted joint reconstruction and spinal fixation
● Instrument positioning during minimally invasive surgery
● Integration within modular navigation and tracking systems
● Interface alignment between mechanical arms and precision tool sets
This component’s modular adaptability allows it to integrate seamlessly into a variety of robotic systems, supporting both custom-built and standardized surgical solutions.
Engineering & Structural Advantages
The Linker is manufactured using TARUK’s advanced 5-axis and 4-axis CNC machining centers and turn-mill compound systems, allowing precise fabrication of complex geometries with micron-level accuracy.
Each unit is machined from medical-grade stainless steel, ensuring optimal strength, balance, and long-term stability under repeated sterilization cycles.
Key technical characteristics include:
● Multi-axis machining for uniform geometry and fine alignment accuracy
● Rigid structural design for stable mechanical coupling and minimal deflection
● Surface passivation to resist corrosion and maintain biocompatibility
● High-precision assembly ensuring consistent alignment between connecting modules
● Dimensional inspection through coordinate measuring systems (CMM)
These manufacturing capabilities make the Linker an ideal choice for OEM partners seeking robust, precision-machined components for surgical robotics applications.
