Visionstar MR-1000

Rooms planned around the patient rather than the equipment benefit most. Units that fix the working side at manufacture, or restrict the arm to an arc, make the room plan follow the arm — instrument positions, chair orientation and clinician approach all derive from where it can reach. A rack indexing through a full circle removes that determination, so the patient position is settled first and the arm brought to it. That is the right order and few units in this category allow it.

Multi-instrument positions gain for the same reason. Where several devices share one working position, the ability to point the arm at any of them without repositioning the chair or the column is worth more than any single instrument mount.

Wheelchair users are served by the 390 mm seat, the lowest published anywhere in this range and comfortably beneath standard wheelchair height, so transfer is unambiguously a lateral move rather than a lift.

Secondary instruments suit the 500 mm slide, the longest stroke published here, bringing a device fully forward for use and fully clear afterwards.

Three things belong in the decision. The rack's mechanism is not described — the datasheet gives 360° without saying how, and the swept volume is unpublished, so clearance around the column should be established before ordering. The electrical line indicates DC drive components alongside the mains supply, which is a different arrangement from the rest of this family and warrants asking what is DC driven and whether any controller is serviceable. And at 210 kg this is the heaviest unit in the family, on the deepest footprint, so delivery access and floor loading need confirming.

The room follows the patient, not the arm

A rack indexing through 360° means the working position is chosen first and the arm brought to it — where most units in this category make the plan follow the arm's reach.

A parameter nothing else here publishes

No other unit in this range states a rack rotation angle at all. Whatever the mechanism turns out to be, the capability is documented rather than inferred.

The lowest seat in the whole range

Three hundred and ninety millimetres, 20 mm below the next lowest and comfortably beneath standard wheelchair height, so transfer is a lateral move.

The longest sliding stroke published

Five hundred millimetres brings a secondary instrument fully forward and fully clear — 60 mm beyond the next longest in this range.

Mass where the loads are eccentric

At 210 kg on the deepest footprint here, the unit anchors a full-circle rack and a 500 mm slide, both of which put load away from centre.

The full electrical schedule

Input voltage, engine power, lighting, fuse and wire ratings, duty classification and operating envelope all published — enough for an electrician to specify a circuit before attending.

Suits several instruments at one position

Pointing the arm at any device without moving the chair or column is worth more than any individual instrument mount.

360° swing arm right-angle rack

The rack carrying the swing arm is published as rotating through a complete circle — a parameter no other unit in this range states.

Swing arm ±30°

The swing arm itself moves 30° either side of centre, independently of the rack's indexing.

Chair height 390–530 mm

The chair descends to 390 mm, the lowest seat published anywhere in this range.

500 mm small tabletop slide

The sliding tabletop travels 500 mm, the longest stroke published in this range.

90° table rotation

The main table rotates through 90°.

Chair loading 150 kg

Rated loading is 150 kg.

210 kg weight

The unit weighs 210 kg, the heaviest in this family by 30 kg.

1550 × 1280 × 1900 mm

The unit occupies the deepest footprint in this family at 1280 mm, standing 1900 mm high.

18 W lighting at 250 V

A single 18 W fitting, distinct again from the 16 W, 40 W and twin arrangements elsewhere in this family.

DC drive components

Engine power is published as 55W 24VDC 40W 30VDC, indicating low-voltage DC drives alongside the mains supply.

Full electrical schedule

110V/220V AC at 50–60 Hz input, 1 W no-load draw, 5 A 250 V fuse, 10 A 250 V main wire, 2 kV pressure test, S1 continuous duty, −10 °C to +40 °C.

The Visionstar MR-1000 publishes a line no other unit in this range carries: a swing arm right-angle rack rotating through 360°. The consequence is about room layout rather than the arm itself, because units that fix the working side or restrict the arm to an arc make the room plan follow the arm — instrument positions, chair orientation and clinician approach all derive from where it can reach. A full-circle rack lets the patient position be settled first and the arm brought to it, which is the correct order. Two further figures put this unit at the extremes of the range: a chair descending to 390 mm, the lowest published anywhere here and comfortably beneath standard wheelchair height, and a 500 mm sliding tabletop, the longest stroke available. At 210 kg on the deepest footprint in the family, it anchors both. Three things to establish before ordering: the rack's mechanism is undescribed and its swept volume unpublished, so clearance around the column needs confirming; the electrical line indicates DC drive components, a different arrangement from the rest of this family; and at 210 kg delivery access and floor loading need checking.
