5 - 18 Section 5-4 - Top Console with LCD monitor and Operator Panel
5-4-1-3 The XYZ mechanism
The Top Console can be adjusted without moving the complete VIVID E9 console.
It can be moved;
• up/down (Z-axis)
• sideways to the left and to the right (X-axis)
• back and forth (Y-axis).
The vertical movement of the console is motor driven. The control buttons for the electrical motor are
located around the handles. A gas spring inside the system assists in the Z-axis (vertical) movement.
The brakes used for locking the Top Console’s X and Y movement are operated by electrical motors.
5-4-1-4 The XY Locking mechanism
In addition to the brakes described above, a Park Lock mechanism is used to lock the Top Console in
the “park position” used during transportation.
Description of the Locking Mechanism
Figure 5-7 shows the Park Lock when the Operator Panel is in a locked position.
When the Operator Panel releases, the Threaded Lead Screw (4) rotates clockwise, moving the Lock
Nut outwards and thus lowering the Park Lock Lever downwards and the Park Lock mechanism is
released.
