The overhead rail system consists of the stationary rails (ceiling mounted) and a
bridge that travels longitudinally (LONG) along the rails. Guide bearings maintain
alignment of the bridge with the rails and the X–ray table.
An electric lock controls motion of the bridge along the rails. A switch marked
"LONG" on the user interface activates this longitudinal lock. Press down the
switch will releases the lock. Releasing the switch reapplies the lock.
The carriage rides laterally (LAT) within the bridge. The lateral lock controls its
motion. The switch marked LAT on the front of the user interface operates the
lock. This switch functions in the same manner as the one for the longitudinal lock.
The telescopic column permits vertical (VERT) travel of the tube unit. The vertical
lock controls its motion. The switch marked VERT on the user interface operates
the lock. The switch must be held down while moving the tube unit.
