Any weak structures within each subunit were investigated by industrial static\/dynamic simulations of used materials. After manufactured subunits were assembled in a factory, a series of executed six degree\u2010of\u2010freedom (DoF) displacements were measured by using a laser\u2010based dynamic tracking system (LDTS) for the initial validation. Deviations between measured and required displacements, referred to as displacement deviation, were used to evaluate the displacement accuracy of the chair. After satisfying the initial validation in the factory, the chair was disassembled and installed in our treatment room. The displacement accuracy of the chair was revalidated by using the LDTS. Then, an integration validation of the chair was conducted to position a head phantom by using our image\u2010guided radiotherapy (IGRT) system. Because the positioning accuracy of our IGRT system achieved a clinical tolerance of 1.0\u00a0mm and 1.0<jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"graphic\/mp14115-math-0005.png\" xlink:title=\"urn:x-wiley:00942405:media:mp14115:mp14115-math-0005\"\/> only for a pitch\/roll of &lt;5<jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"graphic\/mp14115-math-0006.png\" xlink:title=\"urn:x-wiley:00942405:media:mp14115:mp14115-math-0006\"\/>, the integration validation was conducted on 36 planned fields with a 5<jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"graphic\/mp14115-math-0007.png\" xlink:title=\"urn:x-wiley:00942405:media:mp14115:mp14115-math-0007\"\/> tilt evenly over 360<jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"graphic\/mp14115-math-0008.png\" xlink:title=\"urn:x-wiley:00942405:media:mp14115:mp14115-math-0008\"\/> rotation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>To fulfill the general purpose of positioner, the chair allows the execution of any displacement over a cubic treatment volume with a length of 500\u00a0mm.
