Visionstar CS-560B

Product Code: EOAS-OD-2904

Eighty millimetres taller. A hundred and sixty millimetres more reach.

Two for one. The CS-560B stands 80 mm above the lowest unit in this range and returns 160 mm of additional arm travel for it — still 240 mm below the range standard.

The Visionstar CS-560B sits directly between two positions in this range, and the arithmetic that puts it there is worth setting out. Against the lowest unit here it stands 80 mm taller, at 1680 mm rather than 1600 mm, and returns 160 mm of additional arm travel — 300 mm against 140 mm. Two millimetres of reach for every millimetre of ceiling surrendered.

That ratio matters because the two constraints pull against each other and most practices sit somewhere in the middle of them. A room with genuinely restricted headroom needs the lowest unit available and accepts the short arm that comes with it. A room with normal ceilings takes a full-height unit with a long arm and thinks about neither. But a great many rooms have adequate rather than generous height — enough for 1680 mm with clearance, not enough for 1920 mm — and for those, giving up 80 mm to gain 160 mm is straightforwardly the better trade.

The arm travel figure is what makes it worth having. At 140 mm an arm covers fine positioning and little else, so patient height differences have to be absorbed by the chair. At 300 mm the arm does real work, spanning the seated eye height difference between a child and a tall adult without the seat being wound between appointments — the same working pattern the longer-armed units in this range are built around, at two thirds the height.

Everything else matches the lower model exactly. The table is 980 × 490 mm with 90° rotation, the sliding surface travels 400 mm — one of only two units in this range to publish that figure — and the drawer measures 560 × 360 × 60 mm, the widest here. The chair lifts 160 mm. Total power is 120 W on AC 110V/220V at 60/50 Hz, with no lamp wattage separately published.

At 1680 mm the unit still stands 240 mm below the range standard of 1920 mm, so rooms with soffits, ductwork or moderately sloping ceilings remain within reach. Weight, chair loading and backrest angle are not published. Medigear.uk supplies the CS-560B with pre-despatch functional inspection and documentation review.

Rooms with adequate rather than generous height are the target, and they are the commonest case in converted premises. A room that comfortably clears 1680 mm but not 1920 mm is neither a low-ceiling special case nor an unconstrained one, and it is where most practices in older buildings actually find themselves. For those rooms, giving up 80 mm to double the arm travel is straightforwardly the better decision.

Mixed-age caseloads benefit from what the extra travel buys. At 140 mm an arm covers fine positioning and nothing more, so the seated eye height difference between a child and a tall adult has to be absorbed by winding the chair — repositioning a patient who has just settled. At 300 mm the arm spans that difference itself, which is the working pattern the longer-armed units in this range are designed around, available here at two thirds their height.

Practices upgrading from a low-profile unit gain the reach without giving up the room. Eighty millimetres is rarely the difference between fitting and not fitting once a room has already accommodated 1600 mm.

The 400 mm published slide stroke and the 560 × 360 × 60 mm drawer — the widest in this range — carry over unchanged.

Two things belong in the decision. Measure the clear height at the exact intended position, including any drop for lighting, ductwork or a suspended ceiling, and confirm working clearance above 1680 mm before choosing this over the lower unit. And no lamp wattage is published, giving only a 120 W total, so whether a lamp is fitted needs confirming rather than assuming.

Two millimetres of reach per millimetre of ceiling

Eighty millimetres taller returns 160 mm more arm travel. Where a room can spare the height, that is a favourable rate rather than a marginal one.

An arm that does real work

At 300 mm the arm spans the seated eye height difference between a child and a tall adult. At 140 mm it manages fine positioning and leaves the rest to the chair.

The patient stays where they settled

A working arm means height differences are absorbed by moving equipment rather than winding the seat under someone who has just got comfortable with a coat and a bag.

Still well below the range standard

At 1680 mm it stands 240 mm under the 1920 mm norm, so soffits, ductwork and moderately sloping ceilings remain within reach. The low-profile advantage is reduced, not lost.

Published slide stroke

Four hundred millimetres of sliding surface travel, one of only two units in this range to state the figure — enough to bring an instrument fully forward and take it fully clear.

The widest drawer in the range

At 560 × 360 mm with 60 mm internal depth, more plan area than any other unit here for a trial lens set.

A sensible upgrade path

For a practice already accommodating a 1600 mm unit, 80 mm is rarely the difference between fitting and not — so the reach can be gained without losing the room.

1680 mm overall height

The unit stands 1680 mm high, 80 mm above the lowest model in this range and 240 mm below the range standard.

300 mm arm movable range

The arm travels 300 mm, more than double the 140 mm of the lowest unit here, spanning seated eye height differences directly.

400 mm sliding surface stroke

The small sliding tabletop travels 400 mm — one of only two units in this range to publish the figure.

980 × 490 mm table

The working surface measures 980 mm wide and 490 mm deep.

560 × 360 × 60 mm drawer

The drawer is the widest in this range at 560 × 360 mm, with 60 mm of internal depth.

90° tabletop rotation

The main working surface rotates through a quarter turn, clearing the approach to the chair.

160 mm chair lift

The chair lifts 160 mm for positioning, with a 600 mm chair depth and 500 mm base per the manufacturer's drawing.

980 × 1000 mm footprint

The unit occupies 980 mm by 1000 mm of floor area.

120 W total power

Total power draw is 120 W; no lamp wattage is separately published.

AC 110V/220V input

The unit accepts AC 110V/220V at 60/50 Hz; supplied variant and plug configuration confirmed at order.

The Visionstar CS-560B occupies the middle ground between the lowest unit in this range and the full-height ones, and the arithmetic that puts it there is unusually clean: 80 mm more height buys 160 mm more arm travel, two millimetres of reach for every millimetre of ceiling surrendered. That matters because the two constraints pull against each other and most rooms sit between them — plenty of converted premises clear 1680 mm comfortably but not 1920 mm, and for those the trade is straightforwardly worth making. The extra travel is what earns it: at 140 mm an arm handles fine positioning and leaves patient height differences to the chair, while at 300 mm it spans the seated eye height difference between a child and a tall adult directly, keeping the patient where they settled. At 1680 mm the unit still stands 240 mm below the range standard, so soffits and moderately sloping ceilings remain within reach. Table, drawer, 400 mm slide stroke, chair lift and power are all unchanged from the lower model. Two things to settle: measure the clear height at the exact position including any lighting or ductwork drop, and confirm whether a lamp is fitted, since no wattage is published. Medigear.uk supplies the CS-560B into the UK with pre-despatch functional inspection, documentation review and height clearance guidance.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

Eighty millimetres of height for 160 mm of arm travel: 1680 mm against 1600 mm overall, and 300 mm against 140 mm of arm range. Every other figure — table, drawer, slide stroke, chair lift, rotation, power — is identical.

Because a 140 mm arm covers fine positioning and little else, so patient height differences fall on the chair to absorb. At 300 mm the arm does real work, spanning the seated eye height difference between a child and a tall adult without the seat being adjusted between appointments. Doubling that capability for 80 mm is a favourable rate.

Rooms with adequate rather than generous height — enough for 1680 mm with working clearance, not enough for a 1920 mm unit. That describes a great many converted and older premises, where the ceiling is neither a non-issue nor a hard stop.

When the height genuinely will not allow 1680 mm. If the clear dimension at the intended position, measured with any drop for lighting or ductwork included, does not leave working clearance above 1680 mm, the shorter unit is the one that fits and the short arm is the price of fitting.

For most working patterns, yes — it is the same figure carried by several full-height units in this range. Practices relying heavily on arm movement across a very wide patient spread may prefer the 450 mm unit in this range, but that requires full ceiling height.

Two hundred and forty millimetres below the 1920 mm range standard. That still clears soffits, ductwork and moderately sloping ceilings that would rule out a full-height unit, so the low-profile advantage is reduced rather than lost.

Yes, at 400 mm — one of only two units in this range to state it. Most datasheets here illustrate a sliding secondary top without giving its stroke, leaving a buyer unable to judge whether it reaches usefully. Four hundred millimetres brings an instrument fully forward and takes it fully clear.

560 × 360 × 60 mm, the widest in this range at the same 60 mm internal depth. Check your trial lens case against 560 × 360 mm, since the proportions differ from other units even where depth matches.

No lamp wattage is published, giving only a 120 W total, though the illustration shows one. Confirm whether a lamp is supplied and to what specification before ordering.

Not published. Several units in this range state a figure; this one does not. Request the rated capacity in writing before answering any accessibility question.

Not published, unlike most units in this range. Request it for floor loading and delivery planning.

An ophthalmic examination unit is generally classified as Class I under the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002, or higher where configuration dictates. Manufacturer CE marking is noted where it appears in the product literature; Medigear.uk confirms CE marking, the declaration of conformity and current UKCA status against the shipping batch at quotation rather than asserting it in advance.

Cleaning with an approved agent, and periodic inspection of the tabletop rotation, sliding surface, arm movement and chair lift for developing play. Both the 400 mm slide stroke and the 300 mm arm travel work harder than short-throw equivalents, so both warrant attention on schedule. Typical warranty is 12 to 24 months against manufacturing defect, confirmed at quotation.
