4.3.4 Important Notes About Installing the Equipment


Demonstrated, in the Fig. 4-12 is an example of a complete system installed into a typical examination room
using the standard equipment dimensions given by the manufacturer.
Give attention to the following installation notes:

1. In the Fig. 4-12, reference point “1”, it demonstrates the minimum displaced working zone (along
the X axis).
a. Compare the CONTRUCTORS technical drawings (and the technical drawings that are
supplied with this system) to know the exact minimum space requirements. The dimensions
may change according to pre-planning arrangements, but always based on the manufacturers
original template design.
b. This dimension may be modified, if there is no permanent table being installed.

2. The reference point “2” demonstrates three important centrelines running parallel to the X axis and
intersecting the Y axis: the centreline axis of the X-ray tube output, the centerline axis of the Table,
and the centreline axis of the Wall Stand unit.
a. This referencing point “2” also indicates the minimum distance of the centerline axis between
the X-ray tube Focal Point and the wall in the background. This can be increased if it is desired
to have more working space around the equipment. However, it cannot be less than this indicated
distance or it will cause collision conflicts between the Tube Stand unit and any other devices,
such the option external controller rack or X-ray generator, placed behind it.
b. The minimum distance between the outside edge of the floor rails to the back wall is
calculated to 345mm (with the recommended installation distance of 1200 mm from the back
wall to the X-ray tube housing centreline).
c. The position of the Wall Stand unit is locked to the centerline axis of the X-ray tube output.

3. The reference point “3” indicates the cross centreline axis of the Table, running parallel to the Y
axis intersecting the X axis.
a. The indicated centreline distance, intersecting the X axis, must be respected to stay within the
maximum limits of the working area. It is the variation of the table top to the extreme outer edge,
in contrast to the installation location of the Wall Stand unit, which dictates the minimum
working zone required.
b. This distance value also sets a (very important) minimum working zone between the Table unit
and the Wall Stand unit.

4. The reference point “4” indicates the starting point at where the Tube Stand floor rails should be set
along the X axis.
a. The indicated floor rail position must be respected to have the optimum working distance to the
Wall Stand unit. Using the standard distance dimension, of “920 mm” referencing point to the
wall, the minimum Focal Distance (SID) can be about “697 mm” (this measure depends on the
type of Wall Stand receptor unit that is being used).
b. The floor rails installation position is very important when coupled with a Table. There is a small
working zone, between the starting point until the Table zone begins: this distance must be
adequate enough to allow the X-ray tube to be lowered, to achieve its maximum vertical travel,
without coming into contact with the permanently installed Table unit.

TM76301-EN Rev.0 2018JUL 41


TECHNICAL MANUAL System Installation

ATTENTION!
For systems with electronic referencing hardware: any deviations or changes to the
floor rails installation referencing point must be planned out carefully. The electronic
calibration methods may have lateral SID minimum / maximum referencing points
thus requiring that the installation dimensions stated by the manufacturers technical
drawings to be absolutely adhered to.

5. The reference point “5” indicates where the Wall Stand unit should be located.
a. The centreline of the Wallstand unit is located on the centreline axis of the Table unit, or the
calculated Focal Point output from the X-ray tube. (see referencing point “2”)
b. The installation of the Wall Stand unit must be made only after installation of the Tube Support
Stand unit. The centering of the Wall Stand unit is easily found after the X-ray tube support
stand has been aligned and adjusted to its working conditions.

ATTENTION!
It is recommended to install the Wall Stand unit, only after having mounted and fixed
the Tube Stand and Table into place -- and ONLY after the X-ray field to light field has
been aligned. The X-ray tube horizontal support arm is non-adjustable: it does not
have any type of mechanical adjustments, to correct the transversal alignments (on
the Y axis).

6. The reference points “6” indicates where the optional OEM external controller rack and OEM cable
support devices can be installed.

ATTENTION!
The electrical interconnection cables are at fixed lengths. It is mandatory to follow
the recommended installation locations to ensure that the cables reach their
associated interconnection points.

ATTENTION!
Study the manufacturer technical drawings that come with the system to know the
specific recommended dimensions for the installation or modifications to the designs.
The technical data referenced here is only an example.

See also section “8 MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS” for information about performing


mechanical adjustments.

Fig. 4-13 Aligning the Tube Stand to the Table Unit

The X-ray tube horizontal support arm is non-adjustable: it does not have any type of mechanical
adjustments, to correct the transversal alignments of the X-ray field to the receptors on the Y axis (Fig. 4-12)
The factory specified alignments, a compatible X-ray tube housing and attaching hardware must be used.
Read further in this manual, in § “5 TUBE SUPPORT STAND MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY”, which
discusses the recommended methods for X-ray tube housing mounting to maintain the alignment
specifications as indicated in the provided installation drawings.
For alignment with the Table units: the alignment of the X-ray field to the Table receptor and can only be
corrected by adjusting the distance between the table base and the floor rails. This is in relationship to
having the correct mounting of the X-ray tube housing. If there are any doubts about the alignment, fix the
floor rails and/or table base in a temporary way until the X-ray tube and collimator unit are mounted to
verify that they can be aligned correctly to the receptor. (see Fig. 4-13)

It is recommended to install the Wall Stand unit, only after having mounted and fixed
the Tube Stand and Table into place -- and ONLY after the collimated X-ray field has
been aligned properly.

TM76301-EN Rev.0 2018JUL 44


TECHNICAL MANUAL System Installation

According to the rooms dimensions, this information must be observed in order to


obtain the unit complete performance and optimize the room space. Specific
information about this is generally given separately by the manufacturer who is, in
any case, at full disposal for any further needs.

4.4 Fixing the Tube Support Stand Floor Rails into Place
See the drawing, of Fig. 4-14, as a reference.

Check for any revisions to the technical drawings, that may accompany the
equipments documentation, which indicate specific recommended dimensions for the
installation. The technical data referenced here is shown only an example.

Following the procedure for correct fastening of the Tube Stand Unit rail system:

1 Bring the rail on floor near the table, putting it in the position which is shown in the drawing;
2 Mark on the floor where holes must be done, paying attention not to make mistakes. To this aim
look carefully at the enclosed plan;
3 Move the rails away from the working area to work freely;
4 Through the use of a power drill with percussion and D14 Vidiam drill, make the fixing holes, whose
depth must be 65 mm at least;
5 Insert the D14 and M8 metal fisher in the holes, so that they do not project from floor (for this
operation use a hammer);
6 Position the rail and then fix it using 10 screws TCCE M8x50, wide flat washer D8 and flat washer
D8 (rail rear fixing).

The fixing screws are not supplied, as standard, by the manufacturer; the described
fixing hardware has to be considered as the suggested one. Other fixing systems
could be used, but as recommended by the manufacturer.

It is possible to order, from the manufacturer, the complete kit for the stand and the
elevating table fixing (code: pn. TFEA01).

Take into consideration that the X-ray tube support arm is of fixed design. If using X-
ray tube housings that are not specified as compatible for use, or using non-OEM
tube housing mounting hardware, the alignment of the X-ray field to the table
receptor may not be correct. In this case, the alignment can only be corrected by
adjusting the distance between the table base and the floor rails.
Both the Stand and Table have slotted fixing points for making small adjustments
during the installation. If there are any doubts about the X-ray field-to-Receptor
alignment, fix the rails in a temporary way until the X-ray tube and collimator unit are
mounted to verify that they can be aligned correctly to the receptor of the Table unit.

4.4.2 Fixing of the Table (ET8530_ET8532 series)

Check for any revisions to the technical drawings, that may accompany the
equipments documentation, which indicate specific recommended dimensions for the
installation. The technical data referenced here is only an example.

See the drawings of Fig. 4-9 and Fig. 4-14 as a reference to this guide.
For new installations, see the illustrations of Fig. 4-15 and Fig. 4-16 for assistance with raising the table
upper section to gain access to the base of the table to make the works.

To fasten the Table it is necessary to reach the fastening holes inside the table base:

 Remove the rear panels (inferior and superior) of the bucky table.

To make the bucky table fixing and assembling operations easier, lift at about 70 cm
from floor the upper part of the table, rotating by hand the driving pulley of the
elevating system.
To this aim, use the handle (which is issued with the table and fixed to one of the
crossbars of the elevating system), whose pins enter frontally the holes of the driving
pulley.

 mark on the floor where holes must be done, paying attention not to make mistakes. To this aim look
carefully at the enclosed plan;
 move the table away from the working area to work freely;
 through a power drill with percussion and D16 Vidiam drill, make the fixing holes, whose depth
must be 80 mm at least;
 insert the D16 and M10 metal fisher in the holes, so that they do not project from floor (for this
operation use a hammer);
 position the table and then fix it using 4 hexagonal-head screws TE M10x60, wide flat washer D10
and flat washer D10 (only on the front fastenings).

Before tightening, check the parallelism and the distance of the table from the stand
rail. If needed, correct the positions by using the possibility offered by the fastening
holes.

Fix the table on level, using a level as control instrument. If necessary shim, being
sure that the screws clamping does not create any deformations in the table base
structure.

4.5 Mounting the Wallstand

4.5.1 Fixing to Wall and Floor


The basic version is foreseen to be fixed directly to floor and wall. For its positioning and mounting it is
necessary to follow the following procedures (reference Fig. 4-17 /Fig. 4-18):

 position the stand in vertical position, making it slide until the chosen working position;
 through a pencil mark to wall and to floor the fixing holes positions;
 lightly move away the stand, check using the drawing attached to the following page, the exact
correspondance of all the quotes;
 then proceed with making the holes;
 through the use of a percussion drill, with a Widiam D12 drill bit, make holes 40 mm deep.

As a fixing system, use 4 metallic anchor Fisher D12-M6 (which are readily available
on the market) and 4 hexagonal screws TE M6x40 + a large washer D6.

It is important to verify carefully that the position reached is the required one.

ATTENTION!
The maximum load in horizontal direction and acting on the fixings to
wall is about 500 N.
It is important that the support surfaces are carefully smoothed. Possible little
differences can be corrected during the mounting phase, inserting the suitable
thicknesses between the base and the support surface.

ATTENTION!
The fixing system, which has just been described, is the most common one and must
be considered as the preferred method of installation.
The measuring of the stand support structures is exclusively under the competence of
the designer, who is responsible of the room’s preparation.

4.5.2 Mounting of the Base Support Plate (option)


If the Stand is equipped with the optional floor base support plate (001/Fig. 4-19), it is necessary to first
proceed with its mounting at the base of the column of the Stand. To do this operation, it is recommended to
proceed as follows:

 Rest the column of the Stand, horizontally, upon two sawhorses;


 Inspect the base support plate (001/Fig. 4-19) to understand in which direction that it must be
mounted to the column (the non-slip rubber must face upwards toward the column);
 Position the base support plate to the base of the column (Fig. 4-19);
 Permanently fix it by using the 6 – M6x25 TSCE screws with threadlocker (002/Fig. 4-19);
 When the operation is completed, raise the stand into the vertical working position.

The floor support base is provided with non-slip rubber at the area where the
patient's feet rest.
Make sure that this non-slip rubber is facing upwards towards the column and NOT
towards the floor!

The presence of the support base does not require any masonry work and allows a
quick and easy positioning of the stand in the most appropriate working position.

5 TUBE SUPPORT STAND MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY

The equipment may be supplied with different options in relation to what is depicted
here. This can include differences in physical appearance, optional hardware and
even operating characteristics.

5.1 Mounting of the Floor Stand Unit

5.1.1 Mounting of the Stand Base


First ensure the floor rail has been fixed to the floor. To do so, refer to the drawing attached to the previous
chapter.

ATTENTION!
Fix in a proper way the rail to the floor, to avoid a dangerous stand knocking over
during the mounting or the normal working.

The stand base is already mounted by the manufacturer; so it needs no operation before the stand inserting
into its rail.

5.1.2 Stand mounting


The second phase consists in bringing the stand in its vertical position and free it from the packaging used
for shipping.

Pay attention to possible notices on the packaging, which show the stand moving and
lifting ways.

 Bring the stand in its vertical position, i.e. in its effective working position, then remove the
packaging paper and inspect that the parts did not suffer from damages during transport.

Any kind of damage must be immediately communicated to the forwarder and the
manufacturer.

The stand is already assembled at factory, therefore it does not need of any operations before inserting it in
its sliding rail.

TM76301-EN Rev.0 2018JUL 57


TECHNICAL MANUAL Tube Stand Assembly

5.1.3 Inserting the stand in the rail on floor

During the stand inserting into the rails, act carefully to avoid the guiding and / or
sliding bearings damaging. Moreover, it should be better to cover the final part of the
rail with a metal thin sheet, in order to make easier the inserting and to avoid the
extruded aluminium rail damaging.

Do as follows:

 remove the closing crossbar on one of the rail short side (13 / Fig. 5-1);
 bring the stand base near the rail head;
 lift vertically the stand and insert the carriage (15 / Fig. 5-1) in the rail (9 / Fig. 5-1), paying
attention not to force its bearing;
 mount again the closing cover (13 / Fig. 5-1) and lock the screws (14 / Fig. 5-1).

ATTENTION!
The insertion of the carriage column in the floor rail,must be performed AFTER
moving away the 4 contrast bearings and AFTER disassembling the electromagnetic
brake.

When this operation is finished, it should be better to bring the stand on the side which is more projecting
from the table; then start the X-Ray tube and the collimator mounting.

WARNING!
Check that the supporting and sliding bearings are correctly inserted in the guides,
which are fixed to the rails. This control is very important in order to avoid injuries to
patients or technical personnel or damages to the unit.

When carriage is inserted, put the contrast bearings in contrast with the rail, so to
reduce at the minimum the play, and re-assemble the electromagnetic brake leaving
a distance of about 1 mm between the contact surfaces.

WARNING!
The slider of the stand is kept locked, during transport,by a safety bolt (see fig. 8).
This prevents the counterweight in the column to exercise its weight force when the
contrast constituted by the weight of the radiogen system is missing.
Before Removing the fastening bolt,at least contrast this force partially by mounting
the x-ray tube.

5.4 The Collimator Mounting


To make the collimator positioning easier, the X-Ray tube 180° rotation is suggested, so that the collimator
(rotated of 180° as well) (10 / Fig. 5-2) can be safely positioned on the x-ray tube (05 / Fig. 5-2). In this way,
collimator damage by an accidental drop is avoided if the fixing flange has not been correctly tighten.
Mount the collimator support flange (09 / Fig. 5-2) on the rays window, putting the necessary number of
spacers (08 / Fig. 5-2) to respect the collimator positioning towards the rays emission cone.

For additional information refer to the instructions which are issued with the
collimator.

5.5 Electrical Parts Assembly

For additional information about electrical assembly, refer to the separate Electrical
Technical Instructions manuals which are issued separately with this unit.

From the electric point of view the equipment is composed of the following elements:
• Tube Support Stand
• Control board station
• X-Ray tube
• Collimator
• External controller rack (if present)

5.5.1 The Control Board Mounting


The mounting of the stand interconnection and working cables starts from the control board. Fix the control
board using the two screws M10 in supply. Wait to make control board electrical connections and closure of
the control board (for aluminium-style body only) until the final installation phase.

5.5.2 The H.T. Cables Mounting


Mount the working cables of the XRAY tube (H.T., starter, rotating anode, etc) and lay them, together with
the cable coming from the control board, on the two saddles at the column sides.
• On each column side a group of cables will pass, this must be conveniently grouped (by strings)
not to create confusion or obstacles to the equipment movement.
• Then end the cables disposition addressing them in the wall support saddle.
• Then proceed with mounting the Xray tube plastic cover (if present).
Before going on with the cables mounting, check that the ones mounted do not limit
in any way the mobility of the radiogenic system, bringing it in the extreme positions
of its vertical travel and rotations.

Connect all cables and electrical devices and check that all correctly works, before
mounting the covers. For the correct connection sequence refer to the separately
supplied electrical diagrams.

5.6 Tube Stand Balancing

Only after the mechanical and electrical assembling, it is possible to remove the
safety bolt that avoids the counterweight movement inside the column.

5.6.1 Balancing of the Radiogenic Unit Rotation Movement on the Horizontal Axis
This balancing must be done at the end of the mounting , when it is possible to unlock the permanent
electromagnetic brake of the rotating movement on the horizontal axis. It is important that all cables of the
equipment are correctly positioned as well. Proceed as indicated to balance the assembly and find the
barycentre.
• Procedure:
1 Unlock the brake and rotate the radiogenic unit to verify it is balanced.
2 If balancing is not correct, find the barycentre by moving the radiogenic unit up and down in its
housing support by utilizing the regulation possibilities which are offered by the elongated holes on
the mounting plate.

5.6.2 Vertical Movement Balancing

In mounting of the control board and of the electrical cables, nearly the whole final
weight rests on the stand; At this time, the vertical movement can be approximately
balanced (this must be perfected in final phases of assembly).

The balancing system uses, as active element, a big lead counterweight inside the column, and some iron
counterweight plates to be laterally fastened, in the proper spaces, to the horizontal arm of the radiogen
system.
Balance, at least approximately, this movement by acting on the number of plates that are in the stand arm.
The definitive balancing of the vertical movement must be performed at the end of the equipment
assembling, when all the parts that influence the balancing are present.

8 MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS

8.1 Centering the Primary Beam to the Receptor


Before the shipment, the equipment is subjected to tests and detailed inspections in the factory. Also the
mechanical parts adjustment is made during the inspection, but because of the impossibility to reproduce the
same installation conditions (different way of mounting of rails and components), little adjustments could be
necessary.

Adjustments must be done at the end of the mounting, when X-Ray tube and
collimator are installed.

Verify that the contrast bearings of the mobile carriages are sufficiently adjusted to
ensure proper braking control, carriage stability and eliminate misalignments between
devices.

8.1.1 Light Field to X-Ray Field Alignment


Before performing any type of mechanical or electronic calibrations, it will be necessary to confirm that the
collimator unit is properly adjusted to limit the X-ray beam and the light field coincides with the X-ray
output. When this has been performed, only then can the light field of the collimator unit be used as a visual
aid in making quick alignments.
The instructions to check alignment and make adjustments are usually found with the technical service
instructions that come with the collimator unit.

continuity, safety and operating instructions should be subject to regular checks and maintenance.
The burden of maintenance after the warranty period (12 months from the date of delivery of the equipment,
unless agreed otherwise signed), is charged to the final user. The service of technical assistance from the
vendor is available to the user which must agreed upon to arrange for post-warranty maintenance activities.

The manufacturer assumes no responsibility in case of malfunction due to:

 Use of the equipment by untrained or unauthorized personnel.


 Maintenance not performed, insufficient, or not documented.
 Use of non-original replacement parts.
 Maintenance performed by untrained or unauthorized personnel.

It is the duty of the operator to check, daily, that all safety circuits and signaling are
fully functional.

The operator must investigate that the controls and ordinary technical interventions
of maintenance are made at the programmed intervals.

The operator should not take personal initiative in this regard but promptly notify
service advisors as soon as there has been a malfunction or a risk of malfunction. The
use of the equipment shall be suspended until such time as it was decided to bring in
good, safe condition.

The responsible party for the safety and maintenance of the equipment must respond
to both user calls and for the execution of the maintenance plan provided by the
manufacturer.

 If the unit presents dents, repair them; in case of damaged painted surfaces, touch them up using the
paint issued by the manufacturer.

It is very important to repair as soon as possible the unit damages. In particular,


remember that every scratch to the protection paint must be touched up with specific
paints supplied by the producer; if this operation is well done, it avoids a dangerous
oxidative phenomenon, which could compromise the efficiency and the resistance of
the stand metal structure.

The unit painting is made using powder paint and baking in furnace. To touch up the
unit, a small bottle containing some original powder is supplied; this must be
dissolved through a drop of paint thinner (NITRO preferred) and applied by using a
soft brush.

 Grease bearing and pins, which can be reached.

For the greasing use common universal grease, which is on sale. DO NOT use oils or
other lubricants, that could cause draw or dirty the unit or the working area.

 Check the functioning backlash of bearings and of guiding and braking devices.

It is very important to check the slack of the ball bearings and, if necessary, make
their regulation following the instructions written in the previous chapter. This is
required to also maintain the correct alignments and tolerances between devices and
components

 Check the correct functioning of the control and braking devices as well.
 Check the correct tightening of the nuts and bolts.
 Check the correct functioning of the electrical parts as well, that means the functioning of push
buttons and brakes and the integrity of cables and safety devices.

10.4 Cleaning And Disinfection


The equipment does not require particular cleaning operations. However, it is recommended that during the
operations to give proper attention to avoid damaging it.

 The mains power must be disconnected before proceeding with the cleaning operations. The
water in quantities should not be used, to avoid dangerous infiltrations and undesirable phenomena
of corrosion of the metal parts.
 Even products used to clean and disinfect the skin can create an explosion risk.
 For disinfection, use commercial products whose effects are tested. Do not use disinfectants gaseous
formaldehyde and aerosol products that could generate dangerous and damaging infiltration into the
equipment.

More information and directions are available in manuals and instructions for
disinfection and protection against explosions.

10.4.1 Cleaning
 Clean the equipment with a damp cloth or a cotton swab. Use a non-abrasive cleaning material. To
moisten, use water or lukewarm water with a diluted solution of liquid detergent of the common
household type.
 Do not use abrasive cleaners or organic solvents or cleaning agents containing solvents (eg. alcohol,
ether, etc.). Do not use hydrogen peroxide which enhances the corrosion of metals.
 Do not use spray liquids! Agents for cleaning fluids must not enter under any circumstances within
the enclosures!

It is recommend to use a damp cloth, preferably hot, taking care to dry very
thoroughly treated surfaces.

10.4.2 Disinfecting
For surface disinfection, it is recommended to use aqueous solutions commercially available for the
disinfection of surfaces based on aldehyde or amphoteric surfactants (eg, Tego 103, Korsolin). Disinfectant
substitutes based on phenolic and chlorine-containing compounds are partially aggressive and therefore
normally to be avoided. The same limitations apply to agents which have an alcohol content when they are
applied in undiluted form (eg for the disinfection of hands).

Strictly prohibited are spray disinfectants, because the spray could penetrate inside the device. As a
result, the safety of the appliance can no longer be guaranteed (damage to electronic components, formation
of flammable mixtures of air and solvent vapors).
Where the entire exam room is to be disinfected, remember to cover the unit with plastic sheeting.

2 Equipment Description and Technical Specifications

2.1 Unit Description


The radiographic unit object of this manual consists of a fixed height bucky table, whose patient table top,
made of laminated plastic, can be longitudinally and transversally moved.
Recently designed, the equipment benefits from structural technologies and functional methods that can
guarantee high quality standards.

2.2 Tavolo bucky


The bucky table has a basic structure composed of a fixed lower part (made of bent, welded and reinforced
sheet steel) and of a movable upper part that rests directly on the base structure.
The examination plane can be moved manually in the four directions and is kept in position by
electromagnetic pedal-controlled brakes. The brake release pedal is located at the base of the table.

2.3 Patient Table Top


The patient table top is in radiotranslucent plastic laminate with low absorption (or built with a “sandwich”
structure in carbon fiber as option).
The lateral table profiles, in laminated extrusions, have a lateral groove for the accessories fastening,
allowing them, at the same time, the greatest freedom in movements.
The table top can be moved manually on the horizontal table and it’s kept in position by electromagnetic
brakes that are controlled by foot pedal. The table in its basic configuration is equipped with electromagnetic
brakes that operate when energized by current.

2.4 Bucky Carriage


The bucky carriage slides in the special guides under the patient table top. A special handle incorporates the
electromagnetic brake release push button of the carriage, the emergency stop control (red mushroom type
pushbutton, if equipped with option motorization) for de-activation of the motorized movements and also
allows for the positioning of the bucky carriage.
The bucky carriage has special housings for the grid and the ionization chamber. The buckys can have the
measuring chamber for the AEC systems (Automatic Exposure Control) and the measuring device of the
cassette size for the ACS (Automatic Collimation System).

The equipment is predisposed for the installation of the longitudinal motorization group for the bucky. On
request from the client, the table can be supplied with this option.

The table can be requested to support detector or docking station for digital systems.

3.2 Residual Risks & Accident Hazards

In the event that the compatibility between the vertical Bucky Stand, together with its
accessories, is not explicitly stated in the documentation, the user of the equipment
must ensure that no dangerous situations can occur for the patient and for auxiliary
staff.
The TABLE BUCKY has been designed to conform to the most recent safety principles. However, during its
use, especially if improper, may result in residual risks. More information about this will be found in the
Operator Manual that comes with this equipment.

3.3 Electrical Safety

WARNING! This installation requires working with high tensions.

WARNING! To avoid the risk of electric shock, this unit must be connected to supply
mains with protective earth.

This equipments destination of use is specified for a permanent-type installation. It


cannot be connected to a power strip or extension cord.

Connect only the specified items as part of the TABLE BUCKY or compatible with it.

Further information on electrical safety and installation warnings can be found in the
electrical instruction manual supplied with this unit.

Protection relating to electric shocks complies with current whose compliance was validated by a notified
body. It is therefore extremely important that periodically the ground wires of the system are tested in order
to maintain the standards of safety.

3.4 Protection Against Radiation Hazards

8.4 Periodic Controls


Checks of the equipment and its general operating conditions are to be made at intervals not exceeding 12
months. More frequent checks must be made if the equipment is subject to particularly heavy use or in the
case of restoring the system after a prolonged downtime.
Changes, updates and extraordinary maintenance must be performed by the manufacturer or by authorized
qualified personnel.
All work, ordinary or extraordinary, carried out on the equipment must be documented and traceable.

Report to those responsible for the maintenance of the equipment any damage, even
in small quantities (e.g. the paint finish), to avoid creating further damage and
compromising its integrity.

Disregard for the obligations of maintenance and documentation will void


automatically any responsibility of the manufacturer of the equipment.

In order to maintain a high quality radiology equipment, and to guarantee its continuous and safe operation, a
constant control of the tests and maintenance must be made at regular intervals as recommended by the
manufacturer with an expiration of at least every year or whenever it is requested by local legislation (refer
to Directive 60601-2-54).

The principle types of controls and their frequency in which they normally must be made are listed here:

GENERAL CONTROLS INTERVALS


Cleaning of the slides and ball bearings 12 months
Cleaning and lubrication of the bearings and pivots 12 months
Check and regulation of the ball bearings 12 months

Page 39 / 46
Technical Manual

It is advisable to report to the persons responsible for the maintenance of the


equipment, even minor damage (for example to painting), to avoid that neglecting
them leads to even more damage to its integrity.

• If the unit presents dents, repair them; in case of damaged painted surfaces, touch them up
using the paint issued by the manufacturer.

It is very important to repair as soon as possible the unit damages. In particular,


remember that every scratch to the protection paint must be touched up with
specific paints supplied by the producer; if this operation is well done, it avoids a
dangerous oxidative phenomenon, which could compromise the efficiency and the
resistance of the stand metal structure.

The unit painting is made using powder paint and baking in furnace. To touch up
the unit, a small bottle containing some original powder is supplied; this must be
dissolved through a drop of paint thinner (NITRO preferred) and applied by using a
soft brush.

• Grease bearing and pins, which can be reached.

For the greasing use common universal grease, which is on sale. DO NOT use oils or
other lubricants, that could cause draw or dirty the unit or the working area.

• Check the functioning backlash of bearings and of guiding and braking devices.

It is very important to check the slack of the ball bearings and, if necessary, make
their regulation following the instructions written in the previous chapter. This is
required to also maintain the correct alignments and tolerances between devices and
components.

• Check the correct functioning of the control and braking devices as well.
• Check the correct tightening of the nuts and bolts.
• Check the correct functioning of the electrical parts as well, that means the functioning of push
buttons and brakes and the integrity of cables and safety devices.

Technical Manual

8.5 Cleaning and Disinfection


The equipment does not require particular cleaning operations. However, it is recommended that during the
operations to give proper attention to avoid damaging it.

• The mains power must be disconnected before proceeding with the cleaning operations. The
water in quantities should not be used, to avoid dangerous infiltrations and undesirable
phenomena of corrosion of the metal parts.
• Even products used to clean and disinfect the skin can create an explosion risk.
• For disinfection, use commercial products whose effects are tested. Do not use disinfectants
gaseous formaldehyde and aerosol products that could generate dangerous and damaging
infiltration into the equipment.

More information and directions are available in manuals and instructions for
disinfection and protection against explosions.

8.5.1 Cleaning

• Clean the equipment with a damp cloth or a cotton swab. Use a non-abrasive cleaning material.
To moisten, use water or lukewarm water with a diluted solution of liquid detergent of the
common household type.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or organic solvents or cleaning agents containing solvents (eg.
alcohol, ether, etc.). Do not use hydrogen peroxide which enhances the corrosion of metals.
• Do not use spray liquids! Agents for cleaning fluids must not enter under any circumstances
within the enclosures!

It is recommend to use a damp cloth, preferably hot, taking care to dry very
thoroughly treated surfaces.

8.5.2 Disinfecting
For surface disinfection, it is recommended to use aqueous solutions commercially available for the
disinfection of surfaces based on aldehyde or amphoteric surfactants (eg, Tego 103, Korsolin). Disinfectant
substitutes based on phenolic and chlorine-containing compounds are partially aggressive and therefore
normally to be avoided. The same limitations apply to agents which have an alcohol content when they are
applied in undiluted form (eg for the disinfection of hands).

Strictly prohibited are spray disinfectants, because the spray could penetrate inside the device. As a
result, the safety of the appliance can no longer be guaranteed (damage to electronic components, formation
of flammable mixtures of air and solvent vapors).
Where the entire exam room is to be disinfected, remember to cover the unit with plastic sheeting.

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

ET85MTE30 Rev.0 28/04/2017


Pag 12/37
- Technical manual -

3 - EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The radiographic unit, here described, is composed by a bucky table with elevating patient table top; this
manual gives the necessary instructions for the equipment correct use.

3.1 - USE DESTINATION.


The equipment is to be used in fix systems for general and specialized radiological investigation with
functions of radiogen source and patient’s movement.

3.2 – EQUIPMENT COMPONENTS


The ET table is composed of the following parts:

1) Bucky table
2) Patient table top
3) Bucky carriage
4) Control devices

3.2.1 – BUCKY TABLE


The bucky table is composed of two frames that move one inside the other.
The basic structure is constituted of a fixed lower part (made of bent sheet metal that is welded and
reinforced) and of an mobile upper part that is directly supported by a sturdy mechanical lifting device
which is controlled by motor; These components permit the operator to make the table top assume a distance
from floor that best supports the operations for moving or transport of patients.

3.2.2 – PATIENT TABLE TOP


The patient table top is in radiotranslucent plastic laminate with low absorption (or built with a “sandwich”
structure in carbon fiber as option).
The lateral table profiles, in laminated extrusions, have a lateral groove for the accessories fastening,
allowing them, at the same time, the best freedom in movements.
The table top can be moved manually on the horizontal table and its kept in position by electromagnetic
brakes that are controlled by foot pedal. The table in its basic configuration is equipped with
electromagnetic brakes that operate when energized by current (optionally, on request, brakes at permanent
magnet can be mounted).
As an available option, a safety device can be installed that blocks the table downward movement if the
table top meets an obstacle during its movement. This device operates by using four independent
microswitches positioned at the corners of the panel support frame.

3.2.3 –BUCKY CARRIAGE.


The bucky carriage slides in the special guides under the patient table top. A special handle incorporates the
electromagnetic brake release push button of the carriage, the emergency stop control (red mushroom type
pushbutton) for de-activation of the motorized movements and also allows for the positioning of the bucky
carriage.
The bucky carriage has special housings for the grid and the ionization chamber.

ET85MTE30 Rev.0 28/04/2017


Pag 13/37
- Technical manual -

The buckys can have the measuring chamber for the AEC systems (Automatic Exposure Control) and the
measuring device of the cassette size for the ACS (Automatic Collimation System).

3.2.4 – CONTROL DEVICES.


The controls for the patient table top movements are constituted by four foot-activated pedals placed in a
vertical position at the table base to minimize the possibility to activate them accidentally.
The control of the motorized lifting movements (up/down) is also available (as option) on the support device
of of the radiogen system (floor stand or ceiling stand).

3.7 - STANDARD MODEL VARIATIONS


Here follows the standard model variations. These must be planned while the equipment is still in its
preparation phase.

3.7.1 – PATIENT TABLE TOP MADE OF LOW ABSORPTION MATERIAL.


On request it is also possible to mount a table top, made of low density carbon fiber instead of the laminated
plastic one.
The absorption that, for the laminated plastic top is of 0,9 mm of Al, reduces to 0,45 mm for the low density
top.

3.7.2 – SAFETY STOP DEVICE OF THE PATIENT TABLE TOP.


This device is supplied on demand; it is used to stop the motorized descending movement of the table top, if
there is an obstacle (such as a stool) under it.

3.7.3 – SAFETY ELECTROMAGNETIC BRAKES.


For the patient table top braking, it is possible to have safety permanent magnet brakes, whose action does
not depend on the electrical supply; on the contrary the standard electromagnetic brakes need to be supplied
in order to work.

Before using the equipment, the operators should read the Chapter no. 2
about the SAFETY MEASURES.

The equipment must be installed and can be maintained only by authorized and
trained personnel. In particular, this must be informed about the possible
dangers caused by an equipment incorrect use and residual risks.

4.1 – THE ROOM PREPARATION.


This chapter gives useful information to prepare the room where the unit, object of this manual, will be
installed.
According to the rooms dimensions, these information must be observed in order to obtain the unit complete
performance in the best room fitness.
Specific information about this are generally given separately by the manufacturer or the installer, who are
in any case at full disposal for any further need.

ATTENTION!!! All building works for the room preparation are at


customer’s or installer’s expense.
It is important to know exactly the room features, where the unit will be
installed in order to make a correct preparation, according to the required safety
rules as well.

4.2 – NECESSARY TOOLS FOR THE INSTALLATION.


The equipment mounting does not need specials tools, but common use ones, like those listed below:
 set of fixed wrenches;
 set of box wrenches;
 set of Allen wrenches;
 set of screwdrivers;
 water level;
 electric drilling machine with a set of Vidiam drills;

ET85MTE30 Rev.0 28/04/2017


Pag 20/37
- Technical manual -

4.3 – EQUIPMENT WAREHOUSING AND MOVING CONDITIONS


Once the unit is mounted in the factory, it is subjected to careful controls and a tests from trained personnel.
After the cleaning, the equipment is packed with corrugated card-board and wrapping paper (pluriball).
Then the unit is generally packed in one or more wooden cases by an external packager.

Before the installation, the unit can be kept in the warehouse for some time with
its original packaging. In any case, although every metal part is carefully
covered by protection paint or oxidation superficial treatment, the equipment is
not planned to work or be stocked outdoor. In fact, it cannot stand the humidity;
for this reason, do not keep it outdoor or in extreme environment conditions.

It is absolutely forbidden to pass by or under the load during the lifting


operations.

Make sure the cases are well fixed during the transport to avoid blows which
could damage their contents.

 Pay attention to the hanging loads moving in order to avoid dangers for people or things.

ET85MTE30 Rev.0 28/04/2017


Pag 21/37
- Technical manual -

The wooden cases are made to be lifted through a lifting device (forklift truck).
If they must be lifted from the top (crane), it is necessary to sling them through
suitable ropes, which must twine round the case.

4.4 – EQUIPMENT RECEIVING


The equipment is contained in two cases, whose contents is briefly listed below. The exact cases contents is
specified in the Packing List which is attached on the case.

Refer to the instructions outside the cases for their moving and lifting.

The CASE , whose dimensions are 235x95x80 cm (gross weight, about 400 kg), contains:
 the bucky table (without the table top);
 the bucky table top;
 the requested accessories.

When the table is coupled to another equipment (for example to a floor or ceiling stand) the case of the
table only contains the table with its accessories, while the table top panel is in the case that contains the
stand.
In this hypothesis, the dimensions of the case become 160x95x80 (gross weight about 360 kg).

To remove the table from its crating case proceed as follows:


 remove the upper cover of the case;
 remove the panel (put on it) and the external accessories;
 locate the envelope that contains the documents and the mounting instructions and store them in a
safe place;
 remove one of the long sides of the case;
 take off the table and take it to the work place.

4.5 - FIXING OF THE BUCKY TABLE.


The building work for the table installation are charged to the customer or the installer.

ATTENTION!!!
It is important that the supporting surfaces are carefully smoothed; possible little
differences can be corrected during the mounting phase inserting the suitable
thicknesses between the table and supporting surfaces.

On the previous page the common fixing methods are indicated.

Possible particular solutions can be chosen together with the manufacturer


and/or the installer.

ATTENTION!!!
The dimensioning of the table supporting structures is exclusively under the
competence of the designer, who is responsible of the rooms preparation.

The equipment plan shows:


 the fixing points of the table and the rail on floor;
 the under track channels for the supply and working cables

To fasten the table to the floor, proceed as follows:


 Remove the rear panel (lower and upper ones) of the bucky table.

To make the bucky table mounting and assembling operations easier, lift at
about 70 cm from floor the upper part of the table, rotating by hand the driving
pulley of the elevating system.
To do this, use the handle (which is issued with the table and fixed to one of the
crossbars of the elevating system), whose pins enter frontally the holes of the
driving pulley.

5 - MOUNTING
5.1 - UNLOCKING THE BUCKY TABLE
Once the table is set working, the upper top can be unlocked (during the transport this top is kept in position
through clamps, which are shown in the picture). Unlock the bucky carriage too; this is kept still through
appropriate clamps or wrapping paper.

Before closing the table with the front panel, make the necessary electrical
connections.

ATTENTION !!!
Verify that the top and the bucky carriage are completely unlocked, before using
the equipment in order to permit a good working and to avoid the unit damaging.

5.2 - MOUNTING OF THE BUCKY


When the bucky table is supplied, the tray was already mounted in factory, if the customer had required it.
In order to get the bucky in the carriage under the table, it is necessary to extract the transversal frame from
the sliding guides.

To this aim, do as follows:


 disconnect the cable, which connect it to the below fixed part;
 take out the stop block at the end of the transversal movement of the frame.

In order to disconnect the connecting cable, it is necessary:


 to take out the two screws which lock the cable connector support to the table structure (Pic. 2 –
Pos. 7);
 disconnect the connector, which comes from the table interior, from the connector that is fixed to
the support.

To remove the stop block, it is necessary to remove:


 the internal cover from the left support of the transversal frame sliding guide;
 the screws which fix the stop block (Pic. 2 – Pos. 8).

Once the frame is extracted from the guides, the bucky cover can be removed and it is possible to get it or
insert one if it is absent.

During the transport, the transversal frame is locked through two clamps which
are on its side, in particular on one of the sliding guides. Therefore, to remove
the transversal frame of the guides, the two clamps must be unlocked.

5.3 - CONNECTION OF THE BUCKY


The bucky is connected to the ST2 terminal board. Buckys of different producers and characterized by
different diagrams can be present inside the table or inserted later. Be sure that connections between the
ST2 terminal board and the bucky which is inside the table are those for its correct functioning.

ET85MTE30 Rev.0 28/04/2017


Pag 30/37
- Technical manual -

5.4 - CONNECTION OF THE PATIENT TABLE TOP


The patient table top is put on the transversal frame. If it is not possible, because there isn’t enough space,
it is necessary:
 to extract the transversal frame from its guides;
 to put the patient table top on the frame;
 to mount it on the transversal guides.
The panel can be inserted on the transversal frame only in one way. To identify which one, consider that
the electromagnetic brake must work on the metallic plate which is positioned on one of the two lateral
guides.

To insert the patient table top on the transversal frame, it is necessary to take
out one of the two stop blocks.

5.5 – REGULATION OF THE GUIDE BEARINGS AND ROLLER BEARINGS FOR THE PATIENT TABLE
TOP.
The guide bearings and the support bearings of the patient table top are shown in the pictures 1 and 2.

It is possible to correct the off-sets by utilizing an open-ended wrench (an english key) on the eccentric one.
It is also possible to correct the working distance of the electromagnetic brakes by acting on the bolts that
the brake leaf-spring support is fastened to.

To perform these procedures, it may be necessary to remove the panel and the under panel. In this case,
please refer to the drawings and instructions that are in the following pages.

3 - Equipment description
This manual describes the stand for vertical bucky features and gives instructions for its proper use and
procedures to the user.

3.1 - Equipment destination of use


The equipment is destined to be uses as part of a fixed system for general radiological investigation, more
specifically for chest examinations.

3.2 – Equipment description.


The stand consists of a column that must be fixed to the wall; along this column, slides a vertical bucky
support frame.
The vertical sliding is obtained manually; the mobile parts, which are balanced by counterweights, are kept
in parking position by a mechanical brake.
The new equipment design unifies simple constructing to excellent functional warranties. In fact, the sturdy
aluminium column lacks of the big external guides for the vertical slider slide action and allows the housing
of the balancing counterweights in a safer physical position (inside the column). Besides, the wide use of the
aluminium allows to contain the weight of the equipment with advantage for the transport and assembling
operations; besides, the use of this material makes the equipment not sensible to corrosion events that can be
dangerous if found not in time.
Usually the stand is supplied with a bucky, a mobile grid and a cassette holder for cassettes up to 35x43 cm
size. The cassette loading is manual and can be from the right or from the left.
The frame that holds the bucky has the front panel in radiotransparent plastic laminated, while the plastic
cover is drawn with ergonomic shapes and, in its upper part, has a concavity to allow the patient chin rest
during the x-ray examinations.
The stand accepts standard buckys, which are arranged for the measuring chamber for the exposition
automatic control systems, and standard buckys with automatic cassette loading and reading device of the
cassette size for the automatic collimation systems.

3.3 - Standard model variations.


Instead of the wall fixing, a floor base (covered by anti-slip rubber) is available to support the stand.

3.4 - Accessories on request.


The vertical bucky stand can be completed with a serie of accessories as the arm supprt, insertable in the
proper support on the rear part of the bucky frame.
A serie of external cassette holders to hang to the rear edge of the bucky allow to perform x-rays with
cassettes with sizes from 18x24 cm to 40x120 cm with or without incorporate grid.

Contact the manufacturer to know the availability of other accessories (not


written in the chart) and/or torequest specific solutions.

Technical manual

5 - Mounting
5.1 – Mounting of the support base.
If the stand is the one with floor support (model TRN43B) first you must mount the base on the bucky stand
column.
To do this, it is necessary to proceed as follows:
 place the stand column horizontally on two supports;
 position the floor support to the column base;
 then fasten it strongly using 4 screws TSCE M6x20 + Loctite;

When the operation is over, put the stand on its work vertical position.

The support base presence does not need any masonry works and permits a
rapid and easy positioning of the stand in the best working position.

5.2 – Fixing to wall and floor.


On the contrary, if the stand is designed to be directly fixed to wall and floor, it is necessary to proceed in a
different way:
 position the stand in vertical position, making it slide until the chosen working position;

It is important to verify carefully that the reached position is the required one.

 through a pencil mark to wall and to floor the fixing holes positions;
 lightly move away the stand, check using the drawing attached to the following page, the exact
correspondance of all the quotes;
 then proceed with making the holes;
 through a percussion drill with a Widiam D12 drill bit make holes 40 mm deep.

As fixing system use 4 metallic anchor Fisher D12-M6 (which are on the
market) and 4 hexagonal screws TE M6x40 + a large washer D6.
Or optional kit: TRA024

Technical manual

TRN4MTE3A – 22/02/2017
Page 25/42
Technical manual

ATTENTION!!!
The maximum load in horizontal direction and acting on the fixings to wall is
about 500 N.
It is important that the support surfaces are carefully smoothed. Possible little
differences can be corrected during the mounting phase, inserting the suitable
thicknesses between the base and the support surface.

ATTENTION!!!
The fixing system, which has just been described, is the most common one and
must be considered as the preferred method of installation.
The measuring of the stand support structures is exclusively under the
competence of the designer, who is responsible of the rooms preparation.

5.3 – Mounting of the bucky.


The bucky stand is supplied without the bucky, if the customer did not request or require it.

ATTENTION!!!
Mount the bucky before the unlocking of the clamp which avoids the vertical
carriage sliding. The counterweight which slides inside the column is not
correctly balanced; for this reason, it could injure persons or damage things.

To do this operation:
 Unscrew the screws that fasten the bucky cover (11.3);
 Remove the bucky cover complete of serigrafated panel (10.3 and 09.3);
 mount the bucky inside the support;

Follow the mounting procedure and the indications containedin the instruction
that come with the bucky.

 Re-mount the bucky cover complete with the serigrafated panel (10.3 and 09.3);
 Tight the screws that fasten the bucky cover (11.3).

5.4 – Unlocking of the vertical carriage


After fastening the bucky stand to the wall and after mounting the bucky (if this has not been already
dismounted at the factory) it is possible to proceed to the bucky carriage unlocking.
During the transport, to avoid equipment damaging, the bucky carriage is blocked to the lower end of travel.
Proceed as follow:

5.5 – The vertical carriage balancing


The counterweight that slides internally to the column is around 39 kg and it is thought to offer a good
balancing of the vertical slider. However, in special cases (lighter buckys for example), it may be necessary
the use of the additional counterweights to be applied on the bucky support carriage to counteract this force.
To do this:
 Unscrew the screws that fasten the bucky cover (11.3);
 Remove the bucky cover complete with the serigraph panel (10.3 and 09.3);
 Add the additional counterweight plates (12.3) on the grains inserted for this purpose (16.3) by
using the nuts supplied for the locking (15.3);

It is possible to add from 1toa 3counterweight plates, that have an additional


weight of about 1,5 kg each, to find the desired balancing

For a careful check of the balancing, it is always necessary to put in position


the bucky cover (11.3) in order to have the total of the applied weight to the
bucky carriage.

 Remount the bucky cover complete with serigrafated panel (10.3 and 09.3);
 Tight the screws that fasten the bucky cover (11.3);

ATTENTION!!!
During this operation block the vertical carriage well, in order to avoid dangers
for the operator and / or the technician who is operating it.

Appendix A – Maintenance schedule.


A.1 – Maintenance safety measures

Before starting the maintenance operations it is strongly advised to carefully


read the maintenance safety dispositions contained in the chapter2

 All operations to do on the unit must be carried out when it is out of service. The person who is
responsible for the maintenance must completely disconnect the unit from power, before the
adjustment or replacement of an equipment part.
 Keep hands, feet, dresses, jewels and hair at safe distance in order to avoid their being caught in
moving parts or part extensions.
 Keep all parts in good condition and correctly installed. Repair damages immediately, replacing the
consumed and broken parts.

Do not change any part of the unit; changes which are not authorized can
compromise the equipment functioning and safety. They void the manufacturer’s
guarantee as well.
In particular, it is not possible to make inoperative or replace devices and/or
circuits which permit the radiations emission in accordance with the safety
laws.

 After the maintenance, it is necessary to check the correct mounting and functioning of all electrical
and mechanical devices before placing the unit back into service again.

The operator’s absolute attention is a safety essential element.

A.2 – General maintenance rules.

 The equipment maintenance must be done by the customer.


 The manufacturer has no responsibility in the case of a units faulty operation, which can be caused
by negligence or exclusion of the basic maintenance rules listed below.

The preventive maintenance must be exclusively done by qualified and


authorized personnel.

Subject to agreement with our administration department, we are at full disposal to supply the necessary
technical support.

TRN4MTE3A – 22/02/2017
Page 35/42
Technical manual

 A general check of the unit and its functioning conditions must be done at intervals no longer then
12 months. More frequent controls (al least 6 months) must be done if the unit is subjected to heavy
use or in case of restarting after a long stop.
 Changes, up-dates and extraordinary maintenance must be done by the manufacturer or technical
personnel authorized by them.
 Every ordinary and extraordinary operation on the equipment must be supported by documents;
these must be findable.

IMPORTANT!
It is compulsory for the installer to act so that equipment parts that require
checks and maintenance are easily open to inspection and readily available.
This aspect has been taken into great consideration by the manufacturer.

Maintenance and documentation duties must be observed; Anything contrary to


the case releases the equipments manufacturer from all responsibilities.

Every technical intervention must be recorded in the Maintenance Register (on


the following pages) and in the special adhesive labels placed on the equipment.

A.2.1 – Necessary tools.


No kind of specific tool is necessary for the maintenance:
 soft clothes for the cleaning;
 detergent, which is found on sale;
 white petroleum grease (for ex. Vaseline);
 paint to touch up (issued with the unit) and soft brush;
 paint thinner (for ex. NITRO);
 series of fixed wrenches;
 series of box wrenches;
 series of hexagonal wrenches;
 series of screwdrivers.

A.3 – Maintenance.

A.3.1 – General checks.


The equipment includes mechanical and electrical parts, which need to be subjected regularly to checks and
maintenance in order to guarantee a units efficient and enduring working.
Here following it is shown the typology and the frequency of the main controls that must be regularly
effected (as suggested by the manufacturer).

TRN4MTE3A – 22/02/2017

Technical manual

The user, this means the person who is responsible for the equipment, must ask for the
technical support at the foreseen dates and hold all of the units documentation for quick
reference—that means this manual and the operators manual.
The user must always address technical personnel for the equipment maintenance and
repairing—these operations must never be done by the user.

GENERAL CHECKS INTERVAL


Cleaning of the ball bearings sliding guides 12 months
Cleaning and lubrication of bearings and pins 12 months
Check and regulation of the bearing functions and play 12 months
Efficiency of the centring and alignment devices 12 months
Tightening of the screwed parts 12 months
Efficacy of the braking devices 12 months
Efficiency of the control and signal devices 12 months
Condition of sheaths and electrical cables 6 months

 First remove all covers and clean carefully the equipment, using a damp cloth and a common
detergent that can be readily found.

Pay attention not to use abrasive products or substances which contain solvents,
because they can damage the unit surface.

 Check scrupulously if there are possible anomalies.


 If the unit presents dents, repair them; in case of damaged painted surfaces, touch them up using the
paint issued by the manufacturer.

It is very important to repair as soon as possible the unit damages. In


particular, remember that every scratch to the protection paint must be touched
up with specific paints supplied by the producer; if this operation is well done, it
avoids a dangerous oxidative phenomenon, which could compromise the
efficiency and the resistance of the stand metal structure.

The unit painting is made using powder paint and baking in furnace. To touch
up the unit, a small bottle containing some original powder is supplied; this
must be dissolved through a drop of paint thinner (NITRO preferred) and
applied by using a soft brush.

TRN4MTE3A – 22/02/2017

Technical manual

 Grease bearing and pins, which can be reached.

For the greasing use common universal grease, which is on sale.


DO NOT use oils or other lubricants, that could cause draw or dirty the unit or
the working area.

 Check the functioning backlash of bearings and of guiding and braking devices.

It is very important to check the slack of the ball bearings and, if necessary,
effect their regulation following the instructions written in the previous chapter.

 Check the correct functioning of the control and braking devices as well.
 Check the correct tightening of the nuts and bolts.

 Check the correct functioning of the electrical parts as well, that means the functioning of push
buttons and brakes and the integrity of cables and safety devices.

If it is necessary to contact the manufacturer for technical problems or the


equipment maintenance, it should be better to take note in advance of the unit
serial number and test in order to quicken and focus the technical support
intervention. This information can be easily obtained from the identification label,
which is on the equipment.

A.3.2 – Controls of the wire ropes and suspension cables


The vertical bucky balancing takes place by a counterweight (placed inside the column) and by two
connecting wire ropes with the carriage that supports the bucky.
Careful maintenance of the suspended parts is required in order to avoid potential dangers for the operators
and to guarantee the correct functioning of the equipment itself.

The steel ropes controls must be planned following the table indications, that
means every year.

WIRE ROPES CHECKS INTERVAL


Condition of the steel wire ropes 12 months
Condition of the ropes pulleys 12 months

PARTS TO REPLACE INTERVAL


Steel ropes 10 years

TRN4MTE3A – 22/02/2017

Technical manual

This control must be done along all the length of the ropes, verifying that there are no signs of stretching,
deflection or strand breakage. Moreover, verify that the ropes roll up correctly around the pulleys and their
wear condition.

The ropes replacement must be done in accordance with the intervals, which are
indicated on the equipment labels (see chapter 1 of this manual). The technical
personnel that is responsible of controls, must always fill the label, writing the
date and sign it.

It is very important to carry out an accurate and scrupulous control, in order to


avoid dangerous situations for operators and patients. For eventual
explanations apply to the manufacturer.

The failure of the cable is the consequence of the missed maintenance and
periodical checks; the stand requires a very careful maintenance of the
suspended parts in order to avoid dangers for the operators and to guarantee
the correct functioning of the equipment itself.

If there are some anomalies during the control, the rope must be immediately
replaced. It is also necessary to check if there are clear damages or wear signs
on the pulleys. If there are, they must be replaced as well.

It is possible to ask for spare parts or updating to the manufacturer. They are at full disposal for maintenance
or extraordinary renovation interventions as well.

Contact the manufacturer to receive the instructions about the ropes and spare
parts replacement.

If it is necessary to contact the manufacturer for technical problems or the


equipment maintenance, take note in advance of the units serial number and test
in order to quicken and focus the technical support intervention. This
information can be easily obtained from the identification label, which is placed
on the equipment.

Do not use in any case the stand when one of the two wire ropes show evident
signs of tear and wear or if it is broken.
Contact the technical support and replace the broken ropes.
