Compu-Cutter III System

Radiotherapy departments can now take advantage of the cost savings and versatility of a compact tabletop Compu•cutter® system. The Compu•cutter® III is less than half the size of its predecessor without sacrificing quality and accuracy.  It is available as a complete package or as a single unit which can plug and play with your existing configuration. Huestis software is compatible with any Windows® based Op System, allowing for easy image manipulation, correction and cutting. The Compu•cutter® III is a CE certified radiotherapy shielding block cutter.

Precision Accuracy

•  Computerized, four-axis cutter ensures accuracy of ± 1 mm.
•  Built-in checks minimize operator error and time consuming re-cuts.
•  Allows review of outline on monitor.
•  Drawing package feature allows for easy image manipulation and correction.
•  Cut path simulation prior to actual block cut.
•  All functions and set-ups are completely computer controlled.
•  Radiograph printout verifies tracing.
•  Template printout facilitates mounting shielding block on tray.

Treatment Planning Interfaces

•  Digitized block outlines can be easily transferred from treatment planning.
•  Eliminates redundant input of block outlines from radiographs.
•  Imported outlines may be cut immediately or stored for later use.

Radiograph Digitizing (optional)

•  Radiograph is aligned on crosshairs and traced with a digitized mouse.
•  Windows® based program digitizes and stores data and patient files for easy reference or modifications.
•  Easy input of patient/block information.
•  Preset operational function keys.
•  User may select any cut path to connect multiple block outlines.

Quick Modifications

•  Ability to “flip” image for fast AP/PA or L/R lateral blocks, or change any parameter without re-digitizing.

Hot Wire Cutting

•  Image can be moved to any position on the block to allow for the conservation of styrofoam use.
•  Fast .45”/sec. (1 cm/sec.) cut speed.
•  Cutter is safely enclosed in cutting bay.
•  Adjustable temperature for variations in foam densities.
•  Safety interlock for open door position.
•  Custom defaults: S.F.D., S.A.D., S.T.D.
•  Distance changes can be factored in after digitizing or TPS import.
•  Determines smallest block required for shape or combination of shapes.

Versatile Configurations

•  Our full system for the Compu•cutter® III includes the cutter, computer, custom software, printer, digitizer and an optional label printer.
•  Our system can be purchased as a cutter and software package only, to be used with existing peripherals in any radiotherapy department to reduce expenses.

Easy Installation

•  Footprint is smaller than our Styro•former®.
•  Measures 30" (76.2 cm) tall x 15.75" (40 cm) wide x 30" (76.2 cm) deep.
•  Weighs approximately 60 lbs. (27.27 kgs).
