4.2.2 DETENT POINTS
Detent Points are defined work positions where locks are activated once the
Ceiling Suspension reaches at one of these positions. When stopped at one of
these Detent Points, in order to continue with the movement, just released the
brake by pushing its corresponding button and move manually or perform
another auto-position.
These Points for the equipment are specified by Service Engineer according
to useful positions in normal radiographic studies. So:
 On the Longitudinal and Transverse Axes they are configured for a good
alignment with the Receptor according to the direction in which the X-ray
T ube is pointing, or at some specific positions defined by the user .
 On the Vertical Axis defined according to the defined SID Distance.
 On the Alpha and Beta Axes factory set at each 45
o
. But just in the case
of the Automatic System, they can be modified by the Service Engineer.
In the Semi-automatic System, these Detent Points are fixed at each
45
o
, they can not be modified.
