The CP-100 Patient Positioning System
Introducing the CP-100 Patient Positioning System, an inexpensive and versatile
solution to positioning needs. The CP-100 uses Kuka or ABB based industrial
robots with 6 degrees of freedom for complex patient alignment needs.
Consequently, the CP-100 is repeatable to within 0.2 mm of positioning along
any axis.
The CP-100 uses Med-TEC's patient positioning and fixation hardware and
accessories for a "standard" look and feel for patient positioning.
Features of the CP-100 include:
• 6 Degrees of freedom of motion
• Patient leading up to 200 kg
• High Torque rated joints for greater positioning flexibility
• Resolver-based servo control option for more reliable control in radiation
environments (versus encoder based control)
Multiple patient positioning devices
exist including:
• MED-TEC’s IPPS™ indexing couchtops with patented indexing “notches” –
or indents – along the length of the couch/tabletop.

The CP-100 Control system is available as either a Windows or Linux
workstation. The work station is an Intel based computer system and can be in
rack mounted or in desktop form.
The CP-100 can be
interfaced to Patient
Tracker, a Vicon based
motion tracking system
A major advantage of the CP-100 system is that precision patient positioning can
be accomplished with or without x-rays. Also, the patient position/
physiological monitoring system can be used for gating purposes or patient
distress monitoring, thereby allowing enhanced controls for a variety of
treatments from radiotherapy to ultrasound.
