Adjusting The Alignment - Canon CXDI-50C Service Manual

5.8 Adjusting the Alignment

1. Outline
Align the center of the sensor unit with the center of the X-ray tube. Be sure that the crossing angle
is perpendicular.
* Alignment of the sensor should be performed based on the assumption that the X-ray generator is
set in the correct horizontal and vertical position. If the X-ray generator is displaced to a large
extent, the alignment of the sensor may not compensate the misalignment of the X-ray generator.
In this case, you need to ask the manufacturer of X-ray generator to align the position of the X-ray
generator again.
* If the table type is used, align the sensor unit before mounting a top panel.
* If anchoring is required for the stand or the table you are going to install, be careful not to disturb
the alignment. For details of anchoring, please refer to the Service Manuals of stand type.
2. Tools (should be prepared by distributors)
Alignment Adjustment Spacer, Mirror (first-face mirror), Tape, Oil-based Marker, Measure, Rope,
and other requirements.
3. Adjustment
3.1 Stand
(1) Fix the mirror (first-face mirror) at the center of the sensor unit.
(2) Place the stand temporarily in the position to space enough distance for the exposure.
Distance from the tube to the sensor unit should be 180cm.
● Using a measure or rope, align the horizontal position of the sensor unit to the center of the
tube so that the distance from the tube to the right and left side of the sensor is symmetric.
