Tube assembly stand
Setting the projection angle (oblique projection)
The setting range of the projection angle is maximally ± 40°.
The center of rotation of the swivel can be adjusted in height by motor drive from
10 mm to 300 mm above the tabletop to adjust it to the position of the object.
This allows isocentric viewing on the monitor.
The additional mechanical centering device ensures that the central beam is cen-
tered onto the image receptor for each projection angle.
◆ Press a key
– cranio-caudal projection (right key)
– caudo-cranial projection (left key)
If the tube assembly stand or the image receptor unit reach the end of their re-
spective travel range, the movement will stop.
To perform further oblique projections:
◆ Press the key for oblique projection again
– The tube assembly stand or receptor unit moves to a position for additional
projections
– The object centering is lost.
◆ Reposition the object by moving the tabletop longitudinally provided the range
of travel allows this.

For fluoroscopy, position the isocenter for oblique projection at the object height.
The object centering on the monitor will remain the same without shift if you se-
lect oblique projection.
