Tuning side bearings might be necessary to correct
lateral swinging of the body of the system (vertical travel)
during arm rotation, from one side to the other side
depending on the position of the tube housing assembly.
This operation might be necessary to reduce
manufacturing tolerances.
Go to START and set TEST MODE (demo condition),
then complete one panoramic rotation and verify if
carriage is swinging laterally depending on the position of
the tube housing assembly (THA):
• leaning on the right side if THA is on the right side
• leaning on the left side if THA is on the left side.
Correct swinging if it occurs.
Place the carriage with tube housing assembly (THA) on
the right. If needed switch OFF and ON the system, then
DO RESET to have THA on the right side, PATIENT
ENTRY position.
Move the side bearing at top close to the rail:
• Release the blocking nut (8 mm) (2)
• Release the pushing screw (Allen 2.5 mm) (1)
• Push the bearing against the rail moderately
tightening the two pushing screws
• Tighten the blocking nuts
Move the THA to the left (move arm to START position,
set TEST MODE, and then complete one full panoramic
rotation).
Evaluate the distance of side bearing at bottom on the
right side and check if side bearing is close to the rail or
apart (more than 0.5 mm).
If it is apart, tuning is required to move the side bearing at
bottom close to the rail.
Repeat the procedure as described above in order to tune
the side bearing.
