Abstract
A surgical console having a panel display mounted on a three-axis gimbel that permits articulation of the panel display via swivel, spin and tilt axes. The articulation mechanism uses two helix cable wraps with a single continuous cable that allows for large rotation of the panel display. The continuous cable simplifies construction and minimizes the electrical signal noise to the panel display.
