<p>A surgical system having a cassette latching mechanism (10) having two pivoting latching rails (14). The rails are connected to a rotating latching wheel (16) by spring-loaded latching arms (18). The latching wheel is connected to a motor (12) by a latching pushbar (20). The cassette is pressed into the rails which initiates the rotation of the rails, which close onto the cassette. The motor next rotates the latching wheel, producing cam-like movement of the latching arms and thereby further pivoting the latching rails to the fully closed and locked position. <IMAGE></p> |
