Robotic surgery systems offer immense patient benefits -- from shorter recovery time, to better surgeon visualization, leading to a more precise, effective surgery. Robotic surgery systems are computer controlled, and therefore sensitive electronic components must be shielded from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and generated heat must be effectively dissipated.
With proven solutions in EMI shielding and critical thermal management, Parker Chomerics gives you a wealth of integrated, multi technology systems and components that meet or exceed your specifications and expectations.

Medical electronic devices have also become smaller and more portable – often battery powered - and incorporate advanced digital electronics alongside analog circuitry to deliver comprehensive functionality.
Human-machine interfaces have also become more interactive and increase the options that hospitals and doctors’ offices have to collect, transmit, and monitor and analyze patient data. All of these factors have contributed to a major rise in shielding (EMI / RFI) and thermal management challenges faced by engineers as well as a need for both shielded and non-shielded optical windows for equipment displays.
Parker Chomerics is a total solution company built on core competencies in material science and process technology serving as the basis for:
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Shielding and Thermal Interface Materials Solutions for Life Science Devices
Our thermally conductive gal filler pads offer excellent thermal properties and the highest conformability at low clamping forces. Available in a variety of thermal performaces from 1 - 6.5 W/m-K thermal conductivity.
Conductive elastomers are reliable over the life of the equipment, and the same gasket is both an EMI shield and an environmental seal. Available in many different conductive filler and binder options.
Electrically conductive plastics provide "immunity" for sensitive components from incoming electromagnetic interference (EMI) and/or prevent excessive emissions of EMI to other susceptible equipment. Available in a variety of options.
Electrically conductive paints and coatings are available in a variety of options, designed for high levels or EMI shielding on plastic or composite substrates.
Parker Chomerics offers the products, technical know-how, customer support and supply chain capabilities to meet your challenges and deliver superior, reliable and cost-effective solutions.
Parker Chomerics Test Services, in association with Parker Chomerics Applications Engineering, can assist in determining what standards should be applied to your medical electrical equipment and systems and help ensure compliance with the requirements. Our extensive experience in solving EMI/EMC test failures will result in manufacturable solutions that will reduce your time to market.
Robotic surgery system manufacturers and engineers consider EMI shielding when designing their systems. EMI shielding prevents equipment failure and keeps manufacturers compliant with federal regulations. Understanding EMI and taking steps to prevent it is paramount, as the resultant issues could cause robots to behave unexpectedly, such as requiring frequent restarts, showing a limited radio frequency range, moving unintentionally or affecting other nearby robots.
With more than 60 years of experience, we have the technical know-how to meet the rapidly increasing needs of engineers.
