Schaerer Mayfield Axis 500
Schaerer Mayfield · Model Axis 500
Highest capacity for eccentric column table Highest weight capacity of 220kg/485lbs for a cantilevered column table with 1450mm/57" X-Ray window. This means more safety for all kind of patient positions, all kind of operations, all surgical disciplines and a much more stable table. Highest grade stainless steel table Full Stainless steel without rubber cover on the column makes the table ideal from hygienic perspective. Largest X-ray window in the market Due to its very eccentric column design, highest X-ray window in market. No need for sliding! Copied often – never reached! Highest Durability of hand control Hand control design with several functions and LCD screen. Automatic system check show failures for first level service information without delay. Programming features, different language options, adjust “Level” position, additional check for connections. Highest safety features Schaerer AXIS 500-700 is additionally equipped with a second built-in panel controlled an independent circuit. If in an emergency situation the main system fails, the operating table can be controlled with the emergency panel. Highest patient comfort viscoelastic pads are electric conductive, silicon and phthalate-free, 69mm/2,7" high, Velcro free, Ultrasonic welded seams. Easy removable and attachable. Appropriate for long operations and heavy weight patients. Highest flexibility Axis is offered in different variations to fully comply with user’s needs.
Key tips
- ·Never defeat or bypass a return-electrode monitoring (REM) alarm to finish a case - it's a direct burn risk.
- ·Verify OR table battery backup - a table that loses power mid-procedure is a real, documented incident type.
- ·Track surgical light lamp-hours rather than waiting for failure - a sudden failure mid-case is avoidable.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
A powered function will not run
HighSymptoms: Height, tilt, Trendelenburg, back or leg section does not respond to the hand control / pendant.
Root cause: Hand control fault, an electro-hydraulic actuator, a control-board fault, or a low battery (mobile column).
Section drifts or will not hold
MediumSymptoms: Table settles under load after positioning.
Root cause: Hydraulic valve internal leak or an actuator backdrive.
Battery will not hold charge (mobile column)
MediumSymptoms: Short run time, table dies mid-procedure, battery alarm.
Root cause: Aged battery pack or a charger fault.
Hand control / pendant / cable fault
MediumSymptoms: Intermittent or dead hand control.
Root cause: Worn hand control or a damaged cable.
Table-top segment / rail / pad fault
LowSymptoms: Segments loose, accessory rails will not clamp, pads torn, radiolucent top damaged.
Root cause: Worn segment latches, rail clamps, or upholstery.

- ·Table hydraulic / mechanical inspection
- ·Annual electrical safety test and full PM
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: A powered function is dead
- Confirm the battery is charged or the table is on mains, and any lock-out is off.
- Operate the function and listen for the actuator / pump.
- Substitute a known-good hand control.
- Check the control cable for damage.
- Replace the actuator, valve or control board as isolated, then load-test.
Symptom: Section drifts down
- Note how fast it settles and under what load.
- Check the hydraulic valve for internal leakage and the actuator for backdrive.
- Bleed / top up the hydraulic system per the manual.
- Rebuild or replace the leaking valve / actuator.
- Confirm it holds at several positions under load.
