Rotation of the collimator around the axis of the X-ray beam
The standard position of the X-ray tube arm is indicated by markers. When the
tube arm is in standard position it is centered in transversal direction on the
bucky.
Note: To avoid shock and damage, move the column with
normal speed and slow down when reaching the mechanical
end stops.
CAUTION:
If a grinding noise is heard during vertical movement of the X-
ray tube arm or radiographic wall stand, the steel cables inside
the tube stand or wall stand could be broken. Do not operate the
unit any further and try to avoid hard vibration or knocks of any
kind. Please contact service.
CAUTION:
Rotation may be limited by cables. Avoid strain on the cables
during rotation.
