Manipulators for safe applications in nuclear medicine

In nuclear medicine, maximum precision and absolute reliability are crucial. Where radioactive substances are processed or medical isotopes are handled, there can be no compromises. Wälischmiller Engineering has been developing solutions for precisely these high requirements since the 1970s. Our systems and manipulators enable precise and controlled handling over many work steps under extreme conditions. Clinical facilities and industrial manufacturers of radiopharmaceuticals rely on proven HWM technology when safety, quality and long-term operational reliability are the focus.
