Section 8 – SID Detent Kit – Auto Collimation SID Detent kit


Magnetically coded brackets and sensors must be installed to signal the collimator when the tube unit is
positioned at specific SID for vertical table or chest unit work. The system allows four SIDs for vertical
table work and another four for vertical chest unit work. Normally, these distances are those on the
collimator field size scale selector (40, 44, 48, 60, or 72 in. (100, 110, 120, 150, 180 cm)).

CHAPTER 2 – ADJUSTMENTS

Section 1 – Adjust Counterpoise


After power is applied to the hanger, release the vertical lock. This enables shipping bolt removal and
final adjustment of the counterpoise.
Potential for injury from sudden movement of mechanical assemblies.
Use care! The unit is not in perfect balance.

1. Remove the shipping bolt See Illustration 2–1.

Note: As the shipping bolt is removed, the columns and tube unit may drop.

2. Press and holding the vertical lock switch on the collimator.


3. Move the tube unit to its lowest position, then to its highest position.
4. Adjust the counterpoise so that there is little or no creep at both extremes of travel. The tube unit
should not creep at all in the center of travel.
5. Remove the two bolts holding the dolly to the bridge rail. Screw them into the tapped holes in the
carriage at the side of the counterpoise to store them for future use.

OVERHEAD TUBE SUPPORT
GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS (OTS) SERVICE MANUAL
REV 15 DIRECTION 2277285–100

Section 2 – Adjust Pawl Gap


The gap between the pawl and safety drum ratchet is difficult to set directly because access to the gap is
poor and the pawl is spring–loaded, allowing it to move while the gap is being set. This indirect method is
the most practical.

2-1 Tools Required


– Feeler gauge
– 4 inch C–clamp (or equal)
– Open end wrench
– Socket wrench

2-2 Procedure
1. Place a 0.050 inch (1.25mm) feeler gauge between the reel mount and the safety spring housing at
point B (see Illustration 2–2) on the safety spring housing nearest the safety drum ratchet. Let the
reel mount rest on the feeler gauge.

Note: Do not push the gauge in so far that it interferes with the spring inside the housing.

ILLUSTRATION 2–2
OTS COUNTERPOISE ASSEMBLY

2–2
OVERHEAD TUBE SUPPORT
GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS (OTS) SERVICE MANUAL
REV 15 DIRECTION 2277285–100

2. Check that reel mount is bottomed out on feeler gauge. If it is, proceed to Step 4. If not, proceed to
Step 3.
Note: The load on suspension forces the reel mount to go down. If the shipping rod is installed, the reel mount
may not be bottomed out.
3. Place a C–clamp between the reel mount and the cross strut and tighten to push reel mount down.
Do not overtighten; very little force is needed.
4. Loosen the two eccentric rod bolts so that the eccentric rod can be turned with a wrench. There is a
black mark on the end of the eccentric rod showing the highest point of the eccentricity.
5. Adjust the eccentric rod position (and thus the height of the safety drum ratchet) while turning the
safety drum back and forth slightly until the pawl makes a sound as it hits the safety drum ratchet.
6. Continue adjusting the eccentric rod until the pawl just catches the ratchet.

Note: The catching will only occur as the ratchet turns into the pawl.

Potential for Injury if cable on drum comes off.


Do not turn the safety drum too far as the cable will come out of the
slots on the drum. Rocking back and forth about four teeth is enough.

7. Mark the position of the eccentric rod.


8. Tighten the eccentric rod bolts without shifting the eccentric rod position. Use the mark to ensure the
position does not change.
9. Remove the feeler gauge. The reel mount should drop down and set on the safety spring housings.
10. Check the gap between the pawl and the safety drum ratchet with the feeler gauge. See Illustration
2–3. The gap should be 0.030 to 0.050 inches (0.762 to 1.27 mm).
ILLUSTRATION 2–3
PAWL GAP

Section 3 – Adjust Safety Springs


Before adjusting the safety springs be sure that the counterpoise system is adjusted correctly and that
the vertical balance meets the Functional Checks requirements in Section 3.

2–3
OVERHEAD TUBE SUPPORT
GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS (OTS) SERVICE MANUAL
REV 15 DIRECTION 2277285–100

This adjustment determines safety system latch up condition threshold for the specific load on the main
counterpoise cable. From this condition, the safety springs are backed out slightly to achieve the optimal
spring setting.

3-1 Tools Required


– 1/2 inch “Spinitite” or socket wrench
– Standard Screwdriver
– 6 inch (100 mm) Steel measuring scale
– Depth micrometer or depth gauge

3-2 Procedure
1. Turn vertical lock off
2. Move column to full down position.
3. Move column up 12 inches (30.5 cm).
4. Turn vertical lock on.
5. Place an easily visible mark (tape) on one of the moving telescoping columns to identify the vertical
position.
6. Back the jam nuts out from both of the safety spring adjusting screws. See Illustration 2–4.
ILLUSTRATION 2–4
SAFETY SPRINGS

7. Measure dimension “D” on both safety spring adjusting screws. The two screws should be within
0.03 inches (0.81 mm) of each other. If they are not, turn screw farthest out clockwise (viewed from
below) until its “D” dimension is within 0.03 inches (0.81 mm) of other screw.

Note: In some cases (lighter loads) screw may protrude from casting. See Illustration 2–4.

8. Push button to release vertical lock.


9. Try to move column down at a velocity of about 1 inch/second (25 mm/second). An audible click
may be heard while trying to move the film changer. If film changer can move down:
a. Reposition column to 12 inches (30.5 cm) above full down position at slow speed.

2–4
OVERHEAD TUBE SUPPORT
GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS (OTS) SERVICE MANUAL
REV 15 DIRECTION 2277285–100

Potential for Injury from Mechanical assembly.


Move column up slowly. Upward acceleration removes some of the
load on the safety system, and may cause the column to latch.

b. Release button to engage vertical lock.


c. Turn both safety spring adjusting screws clockwise (viewed from below) ONE–HALF turn each.

Note: One down travel for each half–turn adjustment of the screws.

10. Repeat Step 8. and 9. CAREFULLY, until the column cannot be moved down more than one inch
(25 mm) from 12 inches (30.5 cm) above full down position at slow speed with the vertical lock off.
This may require several repetitions. The clicking sound while pushing down will become more
pronounced as the latch–up threshold is approached.
The safety system is at the threshold of latch–up for the specific load on the main counterpoise
cable.

11. Carefully turn both adjusting screws two full turns counterclockwise.
12. Reinstall and tighten the 2 jam nuts. Ensure the adjustment screws do not turn while tightening the
jam nuts.

Section 4 – Setup Magnetic Brake Locations


The magnet brackets supplied in the kit will be coded to signal the system that the OTS is at a particular
location (SID) from the target, and initialize auto collimation. The codes are defined according to the
magnet placement within the brackets. The magnet brackets location and codes are read by sensors that
ride along the stationary rail and bridge. After the brackets are installed, the calibration procedures will
program the system to recognize each code and adjust the collimator.
Labels for the brackets name the target, point to its location, and identify the SID. There is also a list of
recommended codes (magnet locations) for each situation, and a few spares if more than three SID
locations are needed for each target.

1. Identify the labels needed according to the room configuration and the customers preference on SID
distances. The labels are grouped according to their application. See Illustration 2–5.
2. Apply the labels to the outside of the bracket being sure that the hole in the label lines up with the
set screw hole in the bracket.
3. Place magnets in holes with marking dots facing up and away from the label according to the codes
listed in the Proteus System Manual.
4. Insert one of the thinner magnets into the slot at the opposite end of the set screw, regardless of
which code is selected. This magnet activates the sensor circuit to read the codes produced by the
other four wider magnets. Refer to illustration 2–5.

Note: For systems with manual collimator, use the same manual collimator code for any SID location. This
code will make the detent lock actuate.

5. Position the OTS at the correct SID locations for each target and mark the sensor location, on the
rail or bridge, directly above the arrow head. See illustration 2–6.

2–5
OVERHEAD TUBE SUPPORT
GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS (OTS) SERVICE MANUAL
REV 15 DIRECTION 2277285–100

6. Snap magnet bracket on rail at this location, verify that the bracket is flat and tight against the rail.
Apply Loctite 242 to the set screw and insert the set screw, torquing it tightly but making sure not to
over torque the screw.
7. Repeat this procedure for each SID location.
When the OTS sensor passes over a bracket, the green LED will illuminate indicating that the
magnetic code has been detected.

8. Adjust the sensors if the LEDs are not illuminating.


9. Tighten mounting screws on both sensors.

Note: The code for “CENTER” is to be used for table or chest stand center or both. The system does not
respond to these locations, as far as Auto–collimation is concerned. These center locations must be
coded so that the locks will actuate.

Section 5 – Procedure for Installing Vertical SID Scales


1. Accurately set tube unit at 40 inches using tape measure on collimator. Hold tape measure
perpendicular to film plane.
Note: Do not extend cassette more than one inch from table top to prevent cassette sagging.
Have tab fully extended, and note that the film plane is 0.2 inches (5 mm) beyond surface of the film
cassette (0.14 inch [3.56 mm] for wafer cassette).

2. Mark second telescopic column at bottom edge of top section.


3. Move tube unit all the way down.

CHAPTER 4 – SERVICE PROCEDURES

This chapter covers service procedures which provides information for making adjustments to the OTS
suspension after installation. It also provides service and repair so that the equipment functions properly
and meets the functional check specifications.
If the OTS suspension fails to meet any of these Functional Checks, then the specific reference to this
direction should be followed, and the service adjustment made, to correct the “out of specification”
condition.
The service charts of this direction are intended to be guides to the most common problems that arise,
and do not cover all situations.

Section 1 – Carriage Tilt Down


If there isn’t adequate head room between the top of the bridge and the ceiling for servicing the carriage
or its components, the carriage and column assembly may be tilted down to provide access. This access
will be necessary when servicing the safety drum, safety cable, idler drum, counterpoise cable, vertical
lock, SID potentiometer or parts involved with the above. Refer to Illustrations 4–1 and 4–2.

16. Slowly release the tension on the rope allowing the carriage to slowly tilt down. As the carriage is
allowed to tilt down you will reach a point where the tension in the rope is removed. The angle to
which the carriage will tilt is a function of tube weight.
Potential for Injury from sudden loss of control of carriage assembly.
Maintain adequate tension on the tilt rope so that carriage tilts slowly.

Section 4 – Safety System Operation


The safety system has been designed to prevent the hanger from descending more than 1 inch (25.4
mm) in the event that:
– A torsion spring should fail, or
– Torsion springs should simultaneously fail, or
– Counterpoise cable should fail
The safety system may be thought of as two systems:
– The sensing system, which detects when one of the failures (above) occurs
– The latching system, which prevents the load from falling
The safety reel is the part of the OTS column suspension that senses sudden movement in the column’s
length and prevents the load from falling in the event the counterpoise should fail. Illustration 4–9 is a
greatly simplified drawing of the relationship of the safety reel to the main reel and counterpoise.

Referring to Illustrations 4–10 and 4–11, there are two compression springs G that are compressed by
adjusting a plunger H to dimension D. The greater the load F the more the springs should be compressed
so dimension D increases.
When the tension in the main cable decreases, because either one or two counterpoise torsion springs
have broken or the main cable has broken, the safety springs will push Reel Mount A upward, rotating it
about point C and engaging pawl E with the ratchet on the safety drum. This engagement prevents
rotation of the safety drum and the load F is transferred to the safety cable.

OVERHEAD TUBE SUPPORT
GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS (OTS) SERVICE MANUAL
REV 15 DIRECTION 2277285–100

Section 12 –Adjust Pawl Gap


The gap between the pawl and safety drum ratchet is difficult to set directly because access to the gap is
poor and the pawl is spring–loaded, allowing it to move while the gap is being set. This indirect method is
the most practical. Tools required:
– Feeler/leaf gauge
– 4 inch C–clamp (or equal)
– Open end wrench
– Socket wrench
1. Place a 0.050 inch (1.25 mm) feeler gauge between the reel mount and the safety spring housing at
point B (see Illustration 4–20) on the safety spring housing nearest the safety drum ratchet. Let the
reel mount rest on the feeler gauge.

Note: Do not push the gauge in so far that it interferes with the spring inside the housing.

2. Check that reel mount is bottomed out on feeler gauge. If it is, proceed to Step 4. If not, proceed to
Step 3.

Note: The load on suspension forces the reel mount to go down. If the shipping rod is installed, the reel mount
may not be bottomed out.

3. Place a C–clamp between the reel mount and the cross strut and tighten to push reel mount down.
Do not overtighten; very little force is needed.
4. Loosen the two eccentric rod bolts so that the eccentric rod can be turned with a wrench. There is a
black mark on the end of the eccentric rod showing the highest point of the eccentricity.
5. Adjust the eccentric rod position (and thus the height of the safety drum ratchet) while turning the
safety drum back and forth slightly until the pawl makes a sound as it hits the safety drum ratchet.
6. Continue adjusting the eccentric rod until the pawl just catches the ratchet.

Note: The catching will only occur as the ratchet turns into the pawl.

Do not turn the safety drum too far as the cable will come out of the
slots on the drum. Rocking back and forth about four teeth is enough.

7. Mark the position of the eccentric rod.


8. Tighten the eccentric rod bolts without shifting the eccentric rod position. Use the mark to ensure the
position does not change.
9. Remove the feeler gauge. The reel mount should drop down and set on the safety spring housings.
10. Check the gap between the pawl and the safety drum ratchet with the feeler gauge. See Illustration
4–19. The gap should be 0.030 to 0.050 inches (0.762 to 1.27 mm).

Section 13 –Adjust Safety Springs


Before adjusting the safety springs be sure that the counterpoise system is adjusted correctly and that
the vertical balance meets the Functional Checks requirements of Chapter 3.
This adjustment determines safety system latch up condition threshold for the specific load on the main
counterpoise cable. From this condition, the safety springs are backed out slightly to achieve the optimal
spring setting.

below) until its D dimension is within 0.03 inches (0.81 mm) of other screw.

Note: The following may be observed:


– In some cases (lighter loads) screw may protrude from casting. See Illustration 4–20.
– If new screws were installed, start this adjustment with the heads protruding 0.15 inch (3.81
mm).
8. Push button to release vertical lock.
9. Try to move hanger down at a velocity of about 1 inch/second (25 mm/second). An audible click
may be heard while trying to move the hanger. If hanger can move down:
d. Reposition hanger to 12 inches (30.5 cm) above full down position at slow speed.
Move hanger up slowly. Upward acceleration removes some of
the load on the safety system, and may cause the column to latch.

e. Release button to engage vertical lock.


f. Turn both safety spring adjusting screws clockwise (viewed from below) ONE–HALF turn each.

Note: One down travel for each half–turn adjustment of the screws.

10. Repeat Step 8. and 9. CAREFULLY, until the hanger cannot be moved down more than one inch
(25 mm) from 12 inches (30.5 cm) above full down position at slow speed with the vertical lock off.
This may require several repetitions. The clicking sound while pushing down will become more
pronounced as the latch–up threshold is approached.
The safety system is at the threshold of latch–up for the specific load on the main counterpoise cable.

Section 16 –Vertical Motion and Positioning

16-1 Counterpoise Theory of Operation


The X–ray tube vertical motion is counterpoised over a 59 inch (150 cm) range.
The counterpoise assembly uses two torsion springs attached to a tapered cam. A steel counterpoise
cable is attached to the large diameter of the cam and wound in the cam grooves then over an idler pulley
and down through the telescoping columns where the cable fitting is anchored in the pivot shaft
(gooseneck) of the tube support. The torsion springs are fastened, on the inside coil, to a shaft fitted with
a worm wheel that meshes with a worm. The springs are pre-wound by turning the worm. Refer to
Illustrations 4–24 and 4–25.

From the curves it can be seen that the torque provided by the two springs is exactly opposite the torque
of the “load” times the radius of the tapered counterpoise cam, so that the net effect is zero torque and a
counterpoised condition. As the load is changed, the cable must be relocated on the cam to use a
different radius so that the new load times the new radius is equal (but opposite) to the torque output of
the two springs.
There are two fittings swaged onto the main cable. One at the cable end and another located 22.64
(57.51 cm) from the end. Since the ADVANTX system uses a MX 100 tube, the end cable fitting is
anchored in the tube support. The second swaged cable fitting is used when a MX 75 tube is mounted on
the OTS hanger.
Since the MX 100 is heavier than the MX 75, there will be more cable on the tapered cam and it will be
using the cam on the smaller radii. The cable location on the cam is determined by the load to be applied
to the counterpoise system. The various components loads as part of the system load, are as in Table
4–6.

On the face of the cam, there is a series of numbers stamped from 1 through 7. These numbers indicate
the number of the cam groove. Refer to Illustration 4–27.
The cam, which starts at the zero turn and extends to the eighth turn, has eight full turns during which the
radius of the groove is changing continuously. Refer to Illustration 4–27. After the eighth turn, the radius
remains constant and the cable groove widens out on the outside diameter to form a wide groove in
which excess cable may be stored.

Section 25 –Telescopic Column Alignment


This alignment procedure will result in a maximum deviation from center of approximately 1/8 inch for any
vertical position of the tube unit, assuming a total deviation of 1/2 inch. Of course, the column can be
shimmed to provide absolute vertical travel with the tube facing forward. However, if the tube is facing the
rear, the absolute vertical travel may become void.

1. Using a two–foot level check that the top section of the column is dead vertical, use shims between
the telescopic column and the carriage assembly, if necessary.
2. Drop a plumb line from the bridge. With the tube unit facing forward and at the top of telescopic
column travel, center it with the plumb line. Mark the bridge with reference to some point on the
telescopic column to be sure the column does not change its transverse position or use the lock to
hold it in place. Now move the tube unit to the bottom of its travel and record the deviation of its
center from the plumb line. Repeat this check with the tube unit facing the rear. Shim between the
column and the carriage to equalize the deviation in both directions.

Check that the central X–ray beam is vertical by placing a level along one of the extension cylinder tracks
on the bottom of the collimator. If not level, loosen the gooseneck mounting screws slightly (gooseneck
must be rotated to gain access to each screw), insert shim above detent ring as required and retighten
the screws. Refer to Direction 46–014704, Laser Alignment, Section 5 – Tube Yoke, for complete
alignment procedure.
In the process of shimming at the detent ring, the ring may rotate a slight amount. This will cause the
gooseneck to detent at some position other than at the proper position, 90 degrees to the columns. To be
sure the detent ring is correct, turn on collimator light and collimate down to a small spot at the foot of the
table. Mark the spot with a crosshair and then move the collimator longitudinally to the center of the table.
Next, angulate the tube unit and collimator toward the mark crosshair at the foot of the table. If the
collimator light spot does not align with the crosshair, readjust the position of the detent ring.
