LINK CT-1000

High-throughput optometry practices use the CT-1000 as a fully automated workstation for routine refraction and full vision testing sequences, where wireless control of the table, column, and phoropter arm eliminates the manual repositioning required on mechanically operated units. Equipment reliability is a recurring concern for busy practices with tight booking gaps, and a well-documented, function-tested unit reduces the risk of unplanned downtime that could disrupt a fully booked clinic day running back-to-back.

Ophthalmology clinics running slit lamp, refractometer, and lensmeter workflows in sequence benefit from the automatic phoropter arm and table movement, which lets practitioners reconfigure the workstation between instruments without manual effort. The three configurable reset modes support different practitioners or exam types working from the same unit, reducing setup time when staff rotate through the same consulting room across a shift.

Premium optical retail settings, including higher-end independent opticians and multi-practitioner clinics, favour the CT-1000 for its leather chair, quiet linear-motor operation, and wireless tablet or mobile control, which together deliver a modern, polished patient experience from the moment someone sits down. The 300 kg chair capacity and 100 kg armrest rating also support a wider range of patient body types without additional equipment.

Distributor and multi-site optical group buyers use the CT-1000 as a premium, dual-voltage flagship unit for outfitting flagship or high-throughput locations, since its AC220V/110V, 50/60Hz electrical specification works across different regional power standards without modification. Medigear.uk supports these buyers with bulk configuration advice, colour customisation coordination, and consistent documentation across multi-unit orders.

Fully Automated Table, Column and Phoropter Arm

Automatic functions across the table, column, and phoropter arm remove the manual repositioning required on mechanically operated units elsewhere in the range, speeding up transitions between examination steps. This is the CT-1000's core differentiator as the flagship unit in the LINK CT range.

Wireless Multi-Device Control

Operation via a panel, mobile control, or tablet gives practices flexibility in how staff run the unit day-to-day, supporting a more modern clinical workflow than fixed physical controls alone. Medigear.uk can walk through the wireless setup during delivery.

Configurable Reset Modes for Multiple Practitioners

Three reset modes can be configured for different customer groups, allowing multiple practitioners to share the same unit with their preferred default positions rather than manually readjusting each time. This is particularly useful in multi-practitioner clinics running shared consulting rooms.

High Chair Loading Capacity: 300 kg

A 300 kg chair rating, with armrests rated separately at 100 kg, covers a wider range of patient body types than the 250 kg rating found on other units in the range, without requiring separate bariatric support equipment.

Quiet Leather Chair With Linear Motor

The leather chair's linear motor delivers smooth, quiet electric adjustment, supporting a more comfortable and less clinical-feeling patient experience compared with older motor technologies.

CE-Marked, Procurement-Ready Documentation

The unit carries CE marking, and Medigear.uk provides available service history and documentation appropriate for procurement review at the point of purchase. That documentation is usually the deciding factor in how quickly a capital equipment purchase clears sign-off. Medigear.uk can confirm the additional paperwork required by a specific trust or clinic.

Dual-Voltage Electrical Compatibility

Running on AC220V/110V at 50/60Hz means the same unit specification works across UK/EU and North American-style power supplies without a separate transformer. This is a genuine advantage for distributors supplying multiple regions from a single unit configuration. Medigear.uk can confirm the exact plug configuration supplied.

Two-Instrument Table Capacity With Storage Drawer

The tabletop holds two instruments simultaneously, and the built-in 520 × 350 mm drawer provides dedicated trial lens storage, reducing the need for separate storage furniture in the consulting room.

Distributor and Multi-Site Configuration Support

Distributors and optical groups sourcing for multiple locations get consistent unit specification, colour customisation coordination, and staggered delivery scheduling through Medigear.uk, simplifying procurement across several sites at once. Bulk pricing and lead-time coordination are handled directly with the Medigear.uk sales team.

Maximum Unit Size: 1200 × 1300 × 1800 mm

The unit's larger overall dimensions reflect its fully automated table, column, and phoropter arm mechanisms compared with mechanical swing-arm units.

Table Size: 950 × 450 mm, High-Density Film-Coated Board

The main tabletop is built from high-density, film-coated board, rotates a full 90 degrees, and holds two instruments simultaneously.

Small Table Size: 620 × 400 mm

A small secondary table provides additional workspace for instrumentation or accessories during an exam.

Automatic Table Movement: 400mm Left-Right, 120mm Up-Down

The table moves electrically left and right across 400 mm and up and down across 120 mm, running smoothly under automatic control.

Automatic Column and Phoropter Arm Movement

The column and phoropter arm move left and right across 400 mm and up and down across 120 mm, both under electric control for smooth positioning.

Table Rotation Angle: 90 Degrees

A full 90-degree table rotation reconfigures the work surface for different examination types without repositioning the entire unit.

Chair Movement: 150mm Forward-Back, 150mm Up-Down

The chair moves forward and backwards and up and down, each across 150 mm, for flexible patient positioning during an exam.

Chair Backrest Range: 120–140 Degrees

A 120–140-degree reclining range supports patient comfort across different examination positions and during longer consultations.

Chair Load Capacity: 300 kg, Armrest 100 kg

A 300 kg chair rating, along with separately rated 100 kg armrests, covers a wide range of adult patient sizes without additional support equipment.

Leather Chair With Quiet Linear Motor

The leather chair uses a linear motor for smooth, quiet electric adjustment, enhancing the patient experience.

Wireless Control: Panel, Mobile, or Tablet

Control is available via an operation panel, mobile control, or tablet control, alongside a film button and remote control options.

Drawer Size: 520 × 350 mm

A built-in drawer of this size accommodates trial lens sets and accessories, keeping them within reach of the practitioner.

LED Lamp: 220V/110V, 9W

The 9W LED lamp, rated for both 220V and 110V operation, provides consistent illumination for exam work.

Dual Electrical Voltage: AC220V/110V, 50/60Hz

The unit accepts both 220V and 110V input at 50Hz or 60Hz, making it adaptable across different regional power standards without a separate transformer.

Gross Weight and Packing: 220 kg, 1.7 Cubic Metres

At 220 kg gross weight and 1.7 cubic metres packing volume, freight and installation planning should account for this being the largest unit in the range.

The LINK CT-1000 automatic ophthalmic unit gives opticians, eye clinics, and distributor networks a fully automatic chair-and-stand unit for high-throughput refraction, slit lamp, and diagnostic examination work, whether that's a busy multi-practitioner clinic, a premium single-room practice, or a multi-site optical group standardising a flagship unit across locations. Its wireless control across table, column, and phoropter arm, 300 kg chair capacity, and dual-voltage electrical compatibility support a fuller, faster diagnostic workflow than mechanically operated units elsewhere in the range, while the configurable reset modes and leather chair add practical convenience and comfort for busy exam days. Documentation and service history should be confirmed on the specific unit being purchased before procurement sign-off.
