Operation Manual
Name Function
1 Driving unit Contains the driving mechanism of the arm unit.
2 Arm unit
Supports the X-ray head and the sensor and is rotated by the internal driving
mechanism.
3 Head unit
Contains the X-ray generator and slits to generate the X-ray beam necessary
for image acquisition.
* For equipment with Cephalometric, internal drive switches the inner slits
according to the image acquisition mode selected.
4 Head support unit Supports and makes the patients head immobile during X-ray acquisition.
5 Chin rest base
The chin rest block and bite block are attached in the Panoramic modes and
the TMJ adaptor is attached in the TMJ *
1
mode.
6
Sensor unit
(Detachable)
Converts X-ray absorption data into electronic data in response to the signals
from the controller during image acquisition to output to the PC.
It also has a movable structure. For panoramic image acquisition, attach the
sensor unit to the docking station unit (Panoramic).
NOTE : There are two types of sensors (for Panoramic, or for Panoramic
/ Cephalometric ). A sensor for Panoramic cannot be used to
Cephalometric and Carpus radiography.
(See "21 Docking station unit (Cephalometric)" below)
7
Docking station unit
(Panoramic)
For panoramic image acquisition, attach the Panoramic/Cephalometric -
combined sensor here.
8 Chin rest unit
Supports the chin rest base. Equipped with an emergency stop switch at its
bottom.
9 Handle Grasped by the patients to keep posture safety during image acquisition.
10 Patient positioning part
This part is used for patient positioning. The part consists of Chin rest block,
Adaptor for edentulous jaw, TMJ adaptor (Panorama), TMJ adaptor (CHILD)
and Bite block (disposable) (accessory).
11 Sliding body
Supports the driving unit mounting the arm and the chin rest unit and moves
up or down when the Up or Down switches are pressed. Equipped with a
positioning mirror on the front a cover and the power switch at the bottom.
12 Control panel
Enables the operator to set the Exposure modes, emit the positioning beams,
up/down the sliding body part, reset or move back/forth the position of the arm
unit.
13 Wallxingbracket Fixes the equipment on the wall by means of coach screws.
14 Positioning mirror Enables the operator to check the patients face for any inclination.
15 Hand switch box
Fixed on the wall outside of the X-ray room and equipped with the Exposure
switch. Pressing the Exposure switch irradiates X-ray and the arm rotates for
image acquisition.
16 Column unit
The sliding mechanism being moved up and down to align to the patient's
target level by means of an electric actuator.
