3.2.1 High Frequency (HF) Generator
The remote controlled HF generator, together with the tube-head, uses
state-of-the-art microelectronic technology to obtain optimal quality
X-rays while reducing the patient dose of rays. Conventional systems
generally use the intrinsic capacity of the RX generator tube to conduct
the electric current in one direction only. This generates a "train" of RX
impulses. The Ow-RX unit instead uses constant-voltage technology that
generates continuous and stable emission of X-rays. This reduces the
emission of soft rays, guaranteeing the constancy of the emission
parameters, kVp and mA.
The microprocessor-based control ensures constant and repeatable
exposure times; by simply pressing a button it is possible to
automatically select the exposure times based on the size of the patient
and the selected tooth.
3.2.2 Extension arm and scissors arm
This consists of an arm with a double joint, which permits horizontal and
upward extension. The tube-head remains balanced in all positions.
NOTE:
The scissors arm was designed to work correctly with a maximum
opening angle of 160°; therefore, an opening angle of less than 160° is
required for its use.
A horizontal extension arm can also be added, which is available in
different sizes (30 / 60 / 80 cm) to satisfy all requirements.
