1.9.1
Elevator stand
The support frame is mounted on the elevator stand. The detector and X-ray
tube can move vertically on the elevator stand to adapt the chin rest to the
patient height suitable for PA Thorax imaging. The support frame can also turn
from 0 to -90 degree. Rotation can only be done when the support frame is
between 850 and 1350 mm above the ground. This prevents the unit from
being damaged by the floor or ceiling.
When an obstacle touches the safety switch that is mounted at the bottom
side of the detector unit, the downward and/or rotation movement of the unit
immediately stops. The down and/or rotation control switch on the hand
control unit is overruled as long as the safety switch is activated.
Another way to stop the operation of the elevator stand and support frame is
pressing the emergency switch located next to the collimator unit.
1.9.2
Support frame
The support frames holds the detector and X-ray unit. The system has a fixed
focus detector distance (FFD) of 145cm. This allows for a wide range of
radiological exams. The support frame is designed in such a way that in all
positions patient placement is flexible and no cables or frames are in the way.
