Automatic Centering - AGFA DR 600 User Manual

Automatic centering

The automatic centering functionality is intended to center the X-ray tube
head unit over the detector or cassette in the bucky on radiographic table or
radiographic wall stand.
On the radiographic table automatic centering is limited to longitudinal and
transversal movements.
On the radiographic wall stand automatic centering is limited to transversal
and vertical movement relative to the radiographic wall stand, so SID or
angulation of the tube head unit is not changed by this function.
Automatic centering is used to make sure the X-ray tube head and the bucky
are aligned after applying manual movements.
