Positioning the X-Ray Tube

The operation controls of the X-ray tube head unit are located at the control
panel. The X-ray tube can be positioned by the operator manually.
To release the brake for the selected movement direction or rotation, press
and hold the button and move the X-ray tube head unit. To improve the ease of
performing the movement, the movement is supported by motors. The
intensity of the motor support can be configured by the service engineer.
To stop the movement and activate the brake, release the button.
Precise positioning is done without motor support.
• While moving the X-ray tube head, keep the button pressed and apply a
gentle force opposite to the movement direction. The motor support
switches off to finalize the movement to the target position.
• When starting from rest, press the button for the selected movement
direction twice within 1 second and hold it while moving the X-ray tube
head unit. The brake is released, but the motor support is not switched on.
Precise positioning without motor support is only available on movement
directions that keep the SID. The availability of this functionality depends on
the configuration of the system.
