New Epec Customer Success Story:
New ProMIL 360 treatment base with suspension
Frestems, a Finnish specialist of flexible rescue systems, has
launched a New ProMIL 360 treatment base with suspension.
Frestems, a Finnish company manufacturing stretcher loading
systems and ambulance equipment for military vehicles, has
launched a new intelligent hydraulic lift treatment base ProMIL
360 which can dampen 75 % of the vehicle vibration energy which
is otherwise transferred to the patient during the transportation.
The product is designed to be used in rough terrain conditions in
tracked and wheeled vehicles. The shock absorption significantly
increases the probability of survival of a severely wounded patient.
The system provides shock absorption and vertical stabilization
for the stretcher patient with duplex hydro pneumatic suspension.
“Duplex means that the product does not only offer suspension in
up and down directions but also back and forth. Hydro pneumatic
suspension offers the same level of comfortability usually found in
premium cars” says Markus Hietaranta, the Head Designer.
The movement between different treatment positions is controlled
with a simple push button remote controller. Frestems is using Epec
3606 Control Unit to control the movement between treatment
positions. By using Epec 3606, the movement path between
positions can be controlled by programming, giving the flexibility to
tailor the movement path in different vehicles. Epec was selected for
the product because it’s proven to work in harsh conditions, it has
open CODESYS 2.3 programming environment and it´s cost efficient.
Frestems is a specialist manufacturer of military stretcher
fastening systems and soldier evacuation equipment. Through the
long history of equipping military ambulance vehicles and focus on
long term product development and quality improvement, Frestems
has become recognized as the leading military ambulance contractor
in Europe. Frestems ProMIL products are saving lives in the toughest
and the most demanding operations throughout the world.
