SID INTERLOCK SWITCH AND ACTUATOR INSTALLATION

Actuator Positioning, General


Switches and actuators must be installed to signal collimator control circuitry when the tube unit is posi tioned a t specific, discrete S I D positions for vertical table or chest unit work Three discrete S I D positions are permitted for vertical table work and another three for vertical chest unit work Normally, these distances are those on the collimator field size scale selector, namely 44,48 and 60 or 72" Four situations governing switch and actuator requirements exist
CASE 1 CASE 2

Non angulating table and no chest unit -- no switches required Non angulating table and chest unit -- 4 switches and 4 actuators required per Table 3 3 Angulating table and no chest unit -- 4 switches and 4 actuators required per Table 3 4 However, if a chest unit is to be added a t a future date, 7 actuators should be installed per Table 3 5 Angulating table and chest unit -- 5 switches and 11 actuators required per Table 3 5 ( Number of actuators required may be reduced if a table and chest unit S I D position happen to coincide see Illustration 3 24 and the dis cussion following 1

With both angulating table and chest unit in the same room, there i s a chance that there will be an oc casional conflict between actuator positions for the table and chest unit Illustration 3 24 shows what should be done in case of a conflict I f there is more than 3/4" overlap, move the chest unit so the two locations are exactly coincident as in Illustration 3-24 For coincident positions, a jumper change must be made on Card A5 per Table 3-5A to maintain proper collimator logic signals If, for example, Actuator D for table SID No 1 happens to coincide exactly with Actuator D for chest unit SID No 2, JB1 must be inserted between 2 2 and X2 If there is less than 3/4" overlap, move the chest unit so the PO positions are adjacent as in Illustration 3-24 Obviously, if the chest unit is already against the wall, it can be moved only in one direction If the above requirements are not met, either there will be a false signal sent to the collimator control cir cuitry, or there will be nonstandard SID not in aareement with the field size scale selector or with usual customer technics Lengthening the actuator IS not permitted since this would allow too much tolerance for the S D position I

The following procedure should be done BEFORE the column is erected It is difficult, but not impossible to do it with the column erected
1
Referring t o 111 3 32,assemble switches, Item 3,to mounting bracket, Item 1 Do not attach leads a t this time

Detail C indicates that the inner nuts must be screwed in far enough so that after the switch is secured by the outer nut, there should be exactly 118" of exposed thread outside of the nut Doing this will accomplish two things the rollers will be in the same plane and after final assembly of the column, the rollers will be about 1/8" from the floor plate surface

Engage the switch assembly on the base of the column as shown on Section B B Remove the two lower nuts securing the base to the bottom of the column, put on the Item 18 washers and engage the switch assembly Tighten the nuts An 11/16 socket will fit on these nuts Should engagement of the switch assembly be attempted with the column erected, a 3/8 drive wrench, 6" extension and a universal joint will be needed The foot end nut will be a t somewhat of an angle If it cannot be loosened, the column must be taken down t o get a t it

SEC 11 SUGGESTED ALTERNATE CABLE TAKE-UP METHOD

- 48-4 & 48-5 TUBE HANGERS ONLY

If the rear wall cable take up i s used for the hanger HV cables and Fluoricon intensifier cables, it is recom mended that the automatic collimator cables be draped from the bottom of the wall take-up housing I f this is done, a cable exit hole must be drilled in the left beam member and suitable bushed (order Part No 47516-Bushing and specify length), to allow the cables to drop down in front of the housing Also, the HV and Fluoricon cables must exit from the rear of the cable take-up housing instead of from the bottom Alternatives to the above method of handling three or more sets of cables are

1 2

Drape eables from the rear rail and use the wall take-up on the front rail

Use two wall take ups, one on the front and one on the rear rail
By means of brackets, offset the drapery track toward the front from the bottom of the wall take up This avoids blocking bottom cable exit from the take up Care must be taken to avoid protrusion of screws into the housing where they will interfere with the take-up Drape all cables from the rear stationary rail and omit wall cable take up The collimator cables can be grouped with the HV and the LV cables

Should cable drape parts be needed in excess of the one track, carriers and hardware furnished with the tube hanger, order 46-160954G 1 Cable Drape Parts. This listing consists of two tracks plus the necessary carriers and hardware

SEC 16 ALIGNMENT OF BUCKY

- CASSETTE TRAY MATING PARTS

To assure proper alignment of Bucky and cassette tray mating parts during the engaging sequence, the steps outlined in this section must be performed a t the time of installation (Applicableto units which had the Bucky adapting parts factory-installed as well as to units which required field modification of the Bucky to make it compatible with the cassette size sensing tray 1 The procedures given are for a table Bucky -tray combination For the alignment procedures involving a Vertical Bucky Stand Bucky-tray combination, refer to Chapter 3 of Service Manual SM B3501A/B/D The alignment procedures given assume that the rear of the Bucky is readily accessible This means shifting or disengagement of the table top, folding back or removal of Mylar covers and/or shields (if present) and, if necessary, removal of the Bucky from the table NOTE The position of the plug on the cassette tray is set at the factory using special fixtures, THE PLUG SHOULD NOT BE MOVED IN ANY DIRECTION

M ake sure the Bucky receptacle "floats" in both the horizontal and vertical directions Also make sure the pin and pad assembly "floats" horizontally in the mounting bracket
Remove the cassette tray mechanism chamber cover per Illustration 339 Normally, the tray bottoms with the stop pad to the immediate left of the tray plug hitting the Bucky stiffener plate With the mounting bracket and Bucky receptacle mounting screws slightly loose, slowly insert the tray into the Bucky NOTE If the cassette tray being used is of the latest type having a "floating" plug, the two centering springs supplied must be installed on the plug assembly before performing the followng alignment procedure See Illustration 3-40 These centering springs properly 'position the plug on the tray to assure alignment with the receptacle on the Bucky The springs must be removed when the plug and receptacle are properly aligned and before normal operation is begun It is recommended that the springs be retained for possible future use

Check for any interference preventing full insertion of the tray, correct any interference if present

With the tray fully inserted, measure the gap between mating parts of the connector, the plug and receptacle should be separated by approximately 1/32" If separation is less than 1/32", add a washer under the head of the cover retaining screw to the right of the tray plug when replacing the cover I f separation I greater than 1/32", remove the receptacle assembly from the mounting bracket S and install No 8 washers between the brass spacers and the receptacle assembly

After the specified connector gap has been established and with the tray still fully inserted, shift the mounting bracket and receptacle positions until the guide pins on the receptacle engage easily with the sockets on the tray plug (guide pin - socket arrangement helps to assure proper alignment of connector mating parts during the engaging sequence 1 Also verify that the pin and pad assemby smoothly actuates the cassette tray sensing arm When alignment is satisfactory, firmly tighten the mounting bracket and receptacle mounting screws Remove the centering springs if used Reinsert the tray With the tray fully inserted, check continuity between lugs on the plug and corresponding terminals on the backplate terminal strip See Illustration 4 4 1 for lug identification Then remove the tray and reattach the mechanism chamber cover

[Later performance of the continuity check for troubleshooting purposes requires access to the Bucky This means shifting or disengagement of the table top, folding back or removal of Mylar covers and/or shields (if present) and, if necessary, removal of the Bucky from the table 1

In the longitudinal direction, 10" and 11" target angle tubes will exhibit anode cutoff a t less than a 17-inch

field with a SID of 40 inches This may also occur to some extent with a 12-1/2" tube A light mask i s provided to trim the light field on the anode end so that it conforms t o the X-ray field

If no anode cutoff is observed, proceed to Sec 26 If anode cutoff i s observed, as evidenced by a very fuzzy border on the anode side of the exposure, see Illustration 3-54, proceed as follows The light field must correspond to the X-ray field A light mask has been provided to trim the light field on the anode side, i f necessary Since anode cutoff will create a fuzzy edge, it may not be obvious where t o set this mask HHS defines the field edges as the locus of points where the intensity is 25% of maximum The mask can be moved by loosening the two rear collimator rail mounting screws slightly while taking care not to shift the mylar target (tape the mylar target to the collimator cover while shifting the light mask) See Illustration 3-54 Edge of the mask projection should be located within f 1/8 inch and parallel within f 118 inch of the x-ray field pattern Retighten two screws

To determine the film size where anode cutoff occurs measure the distance from the center of the film to the point where the film density is 25% of the maximum film density See Illustration 3-54

Center of film can be found by making anode cassette exposure at the same geometry as the test film, but with the blades collimated down to a position less than the anode cutoff The intersection of pencil lines drawn diagonally from each corner will indicate the center of the film Superimpose this film with the test film to locate the center Double this dimension to get the maximum film size allowable a t 40" or 44" before anode cutoff occurs

- SENTRY 111 ALIGNMENT TESTS FOR


ROTATING COLLIMATORS

2 Load a large film in the Bucky and align the tube to the Bucky The fim should have its longitudinalaxis parallel to the table axis

Use the following procedures for collimatorsthat can be rotatedabout the central ray, via a rotate release button on the side of the collimator If your collimator does not have this feature go to Section 6 1 Set the tube at the desired SID, usingthe operator s tape or the detent If using the tape, the small hinged piece must be extended, and you should note that the film plane is about 2 inch below the front face of the cassette ( 14 inch for wafer cassettes)

NOTE Normally, you could expect anode cutoff on a 17-inch field at 40 inches SID with an 11" tube However, with this new procedure, you will not get any cutoff
3 The RAT fixture may be assembled without the

rectangular bars or the Plexiglas, if desired, as the tray featurel of the RAT will not be utilized The reduction in weight will reduce the tendency of the X-ray tube to tilt downward when It is angulated to beam horizontal See Illustration 4-1

From time to time it is necessary to adjust the cassette clamping mechanism to ensure secure locking of the cassette If the locking mechanism loosens due to normal wear, it may be tightened by adjusting the two

set screws in the locking handle Proceed as follows


1

Unlatch the locking handle and pull the cassette clamps apart Adjust the clamping mechanism per Illustration 6 9
Place a cassette in the tray Push the clamps against the cassette and relatch the locking handle An

increase in clamping force should be noticed but the locking mechanism should operate without binding and should not requrre excessive effort to latch Repeat the adjustment if necessary, until the results are satisfactory
