X2 LIfting Columns for Medical and Industrial Applications

The best combination of variety

X2 technology is a swedish company manufacturing telescopic columns and positioning systems. Our customers are high end quality user all over the world. Our key know-how in guided aluminium profiles enables us to develop products on our own, in close cooperation with our customers. In this way we can meet individual requirements. Among our customers we count leading companies like Siemens Medical and ABB who use our products in the medical, ergonomic and industrial fields.

Technology

X2's columns are built on extremely stiff aluminium tubes and long life sliding pads, combined with a very tight tolerance assembly - where others squeeze – we fit. The columns perform a stable, reliable and maintenance free guiding system without any play.

Our columns are available with or without a built-in drive. One can use tubes from our standard size range or we can develop special dimensions for your specific needs. We have two section, three section as well as five section versions for various offset load and extension needs. The tubes run easily, without the enormous friction resistance seen in similar products from competitors. This, of course, reduces wear and tear and increases life span.

Tubes our solid square tubes are made of finest extrusion of aluminium to our specifications and designed to take great side loads – up to 3.000 Nm. The surface is anodised and treated for lowest possible friction, so the tubes can run without any play and have a Sliding Pads and Shims using maintenance free sliding pads with very low friction and shims as thin as 0.05 mm enable us to assemble columns without any play. The results is a “smooth ride” unrivalled in t he market. Why is this important? Well, friction and resistance is basically the same as unnecessary wear on the entire unit and will decrease the life span.

Patented Drive our unique drive using dual screws and one motor features a combination of minimum retracted height and large stroke length – retracted height = half stroke + 160mm. Due to our choice of top of the line components the drive presents the best performance regarding force, speed and noise of columns with dual screws on the market.

Medical

X2's columns are used in X-ray equipments as well as other medical equipment. The X2 components satisfy medical standards such as EN 60601, UL 2601 and the Medical Product Ordinance. Safety features are considered part of standard requirements.

Arcoma (Manufacturer of X-ray equipment) Arco Comb A chest-stand system ergonomically designed for the hospital staff. To avoid heavy lifting, the movement is motorised along an X2 column. The large stroke of 1400 mm makes it possible to do examinations from knee to head.

Ergonomics

For best functionality and to achieve ergonomic work positions, X2's columns are ideal to make workstations height adjustable. The workstations are made with a standalone column or two or more parallel run columns.

CGM – Creative Grafiska Mobler (Manufacturer of operator tables for 24 hours work) Cergo: This is a very carefully designed operator desk systems, confirming to feature demands on ergonomics and function today. One important feature is that Cergo can be equipped with two parallel run X2 columns based on X2's new patent drive, for quick and easy height adjustment from 650 to 1300 mm.

Industrial

X2's columns have become an integrated part in many industrial applications. Our columns are often used as a complete system together with control units and accessories.

AB Industrial Assemble (A contract manufacturer) AB industrial Assemble is specialised in the assembling of mechanical and electromechanical equipment. Their investment in height adjustable assemble stations have saved staff physical efforts as well as shortened assembly time, reduced fault and increased quality.
