Positioning the Bucky
The bucky center position is automatically aligned to the position of the X-ray
tube stand. The mechanical coupling between the bucky and the X-ray tube
stand is active within the travel range of the bucky.
The bucky can be positioned independently from the X-ray tube stand, e.g. for
oblique X-ray exposures.
To position the bucky independently from the X-ray tube stand:
1. Move the X-ray tube stand on the longitudinal axis outside the travel range
of the bucky.
The mechanical coupling is released.
2. Press and hold the bucky lock switch.

The lock for the bucky movement is released.
3. Move the bucky in longitudinal direction.
4. Release the bucky lock switch.
The position is locked.
