Abstract

Invention relates to dental patient chairs comprising a seat part (31) and an elongated back rest (32) having a bottom end at a seat part end thereof, and a top end at the opposite end. A control system of the patient chair comprises a user interface con- figured to enable sending a control command to a first motorized construction (M1) designed to alter a height position of the seat part (31) relative to its support structure (35) and to a second motorized construction (M2) designed to alter a tilt angle between the seat part (31) and the back rest (32). As a response to an initial input from the user interface, the control system initiates driving of the motorized constructions (M1; M2) to generate a combined movement which changes the height position of the seat part (31) and the tilt angle of the back rest (32) such that, considering a reference point (R) at a given short distance from the top end of the back rest (32), that reference point (R) will be at the same height position at the end of the combined movement than where it was when the initial input was received.

Abstract

A stereolithography apparatus comprises a build platform (8) connected to a movable frame (11) via a ball joint (12). The ball joint (12) permits a limited range of movement of the build platform in all directions. A locking mechanism (13) is configured to lock the ball joint (12) stationary for calibration of the orientation angle of the build platform (8) in relation to the exposure arrangement (6), so that the lower surface (9) of the build platform is parallel with the second upper surface (7) of the exposure arrangement (6). The ball joint (12) comprises a ball member (14) attached to the build platform (8) and a socket member (16; 16-1, 16-2) connected to the frame (11). A vertical guide (18) is arranged in the frame (11). The socket member (16) is arranged movable vertically inside and along the guide (18) to permit a limited vertical movement of the socket member (16) in relation to the frame (11). The locking mechanism (13) is configured to lock also the socket member (.16; 16-1, 16-2) stationary for calibration of the vertical position of the build platform to determine a zero level of the build platform (8) in relation to the second upper surface (7) of the exposure arrangement (6).
