See Illustration 1–2.
The x-ray system is equipped with a Telescopic Column which supports the Examination
Arm.
The Telescopic Column must be secured to the floor using the fixed baseplate.

This consists of two arms (1. Tube-Support Arm, and 2. Receptor-Support Arm) which are
connected to the Telescopic Column by a common rotating shaft. The Positioning Arm can
be rotated through 360 degrees (+180/–180 degrees) about this shaft.
This couples the Positioning Arm to the Telescopic Column. The silk-screened markings
indicate the angles of tilt.
Consists of two cylinders: 1. a fixed cylinder, and 2. a telescoping cylinder which elevates
the Positioning Arm. A readout, located on top of the Telescopic Column, indicates:

Compression force and compressed breast thickness
D

D
Tube–Support Arm angle. Angle is displayed when pressing the brake release button.
After releasing the brake button, angle remains displayed for 2 seconds before to come
back to default display (compression force, breast thickness....).
Two Emergency Stop pushbuttons are located, one on either side of the Telescopic Column.
If the Telescopic Column touches an obstacle during Down-movement, the
movement is inhibited.
