Technix TMB 400

The TMB 400 is designed for bedridden patients. The unit comes to the bedside, and the radiographer images the patient on standard or CR cassettes.

Inpatient wards are its daily ground. One radiographer drives the unit on battery power from bed to bed, turns it on on the spot between them, and finishes each setup with motorised micro-movements at the tube head. The narrow 57.6 cm chassis fits the gaps between beds.

Intensive care bays are crowded with equipment. The telescopic column version collapses for a clear view as it moves among ventilators, pumps, and monitors. The infrared remote control works through glass and leaded glass, so an operator can release an exposure from behind a protective screen up to 10 m away.

The emergency ward gets a unit ready on battery power that handles obstacles and steps on its way to the trolley. In the operating theatre, the same remote release and fine positioning support radiographs taken around the surgical team.

Orthopaedics and the plaster room use the TMB 400 for check radiographs after reduction and casting, taken where the patient lies. Sports medicine applies it to the same musculoskeletal imaging.

Paediatric work relies on the copper and aluminium filters in the collimator, which allow the unit to be used on children, while the double laser line helps set the reference focal distance before each exposure.

Radiology departments keep the TMB 400 as a mobile resource and send it wherever a bedside examination is needed.

One Operator From Corridor to Bed

The motorised drive does the pushing, and one hand turns the unit around. A single radiographer moves, positions, and exposes independently.

Speed Set by the Hand on the Handle

The drive runs at the pace the operator sets through the handle and stops the moment the handle is released, so speed follows the space around the unit.

Millimetre Positioning at the Tube Head

Buttons on the tube head drive motorised micro-movements. The final alignment over the patient happens at the source, under fingertip control.

A Clear View on the Move

In the telescopic column version, the FREEVIEW design collapses the column, so the operator sees ahead while steering through crowded intensive care bays.

Exposure From Behind a Screen

The infrared remote control reaches up to 10 m with 360° coverage and works through leaded glass, which lets the operator stand back from the beam.

Battery Power for the Whole Process

High-capacity batteries power the drive and exposures, and they charge quickly between rounds. The unit images wherever the patient is, on its own power.

Filtration for Young Patients

Copper and aluminium filters in the collimator allow the unit to be used on paediatric patients.

Collision Protection Built In

A front bumper stops the unit when it meets an obstacle, and the dead-man drive halts it whenever the handle is released.

Cassette and CR Workflows

Standard cassettes and CR cassettes both work with this version, so departments keep the image receptors they already run.

40 kW Generator

A 40 kW generator with its own tube housing provides exposure for bedside radiography.

Standard and CR Cassette Operation

This analogue version exposes standard cassettes and CR cassettes.

High-Capacity, Fast-Charging Batteries

The batteries power the drive motors and the generator, giving the unit high autonomy. They are fast-charging between uses.

Motorised Drive With Dead-Man Control

The operator sets the speed through the drive handle. Releasing the handle stops the unit at once.

One-Hand Rotation and Obstacle Handling

The unit rotates completely around itself with one hand, and the drive takes obstacles and steps without difficulty.

Rotating Column and Telescopic Arm

Large movements of the rotating column and the telescopic arm bring the tube head over the patient.

Fixed or Telescopic Column

Two column versions are built. The telescopic version collapses for transport.

FREEVIEW Design

With the column collapsed, the operator keeps a complete view of the surroundings while moving, and the view stays clear while the tube head is being fine-positioned.

Motorised Micro-Movements

Buttons on the tube head control motorised micro-movements that adjust the source position at the bed to the millimetre.

Infrared Remote Control

The infrared remote-controlled exposure release works up to 10 m away, with 360° coverage, through glass and leaded glass.

Handswitch

A handswitch on the unit releases exposures at the bedside.

Collimator Filters

Copper and aluminium filters in the collimator allow imaging of paediatric patients.

Double Laser Line

Two laser lines help the operator identify the reference focal distance.

Front Bumper

Contact with an obstacle stops the unit through the front bumper.

Motor Release System

In the event of a malfunction or a motor or battery failure, the motor release system frees the drive so the unit can be moved.

The TMB 400 suits radiology departments that send one radiographer to the bedside and keep a standard or CR cassette workflow. Its case is staffing. One operator takes the unit onto the ward, sets it up at the bed, and triggers the exposure remotely, so one radiographer can work through the bedside list. The telescopic column version suits teams that cover intensive care, where a clear view on the move matters. Across wards, the emergency ward, theatre and the plaster room, battery operation keeps the unit available, and fast charging returns it to service between rounds. Its 40 kW generator draws every exposure from those batteries.
