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 - 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.

 Operator manual

4 - Use
Before using the unit, the operator should read carefully the chapters of this
manual about the SAFETY MEASURES (Chapter 2) and the INSTRUCTIONS OF
USE (Chapter 4).

The numbers in this text are referring to the illustrations enclosed in this manual
and their meaning is the following: 21.03 = part 21 of the picture 3.

4.1 – Stand movements

The vertical movement is by manual control and is balanced by a counterweight system. The movement is
effected after the release of the brake lock which is made by turning the control knob, which is located
laterally at the side of the slide support, counter-clockwise (the controller can be lcoated at either the left or
right side of the slide support assembly). (5.1)

When the brakes are in an unblocked position, the carriage tends to lift upward
with the bucky. This balancing helps the user to position vertically the bucky and
to take into consideration the possible use of accessories such as an external
cassette holder.
With unblocked brake, no cassette in the bucky and/or additional accessories, it
is necessary to accompany the bucky along its vertical movement and to avoid
violent collisions against the upper end of travel bumper.

The tilting action of the bucky is by manual control and is balanced by a counterweight sytem. The standard
positions of work are identified by mechanical detents (-20°, vertical at 0° and horizontal at 90°).
The movement can be effected after releasing the control knob, that is located laterally at the side of the
sliding support assembly, counterclockwise (the control knob can be placed at either left or right of the
stand). (4.1)

The moving of the equipment mobile parts must be carefully done to avoid
collision risks and/or injury to people or equipment in the examination room.

The unit must not be subjected to dangerous stresses, such as: the violent stop of
the mobile parts on the end of travel bumper; the movements forcing without the
brakes unlocking; ect.

In the bucky and in the cassette tray there are metal protrusions and pinch points
that can cause damages to the user’s hands. So use only the proper handle to
pull out and insert the cassette tray from the bucky.

The cassettes are kept in the cassette tray and centered horizontally through a couple of jaws with an auto-
centering movement.
In some cassette trays there are housings also for the 40 cm format and to stop the cassettes of 35 and 43 cm
size, that are placed upward.

4.3.2 – Cassette loading

In the vertical position the centering is obtained positioning the cassette so that its middle references coincide
with the centering notches, which are on the jaws (1.2).

The cassette can be vertically centered and stopped through a proper device (6.2), which permits the moving
and the inserting in the housings that are in the cassette tray.
In the cassette tray there are six housings, that correspond to cassette sizes of 13, 18, 24, 30, 35 and 43 cm.
The cassette can be loaded in the bucky both from the left side and the right one; the loading side is set
during the installation phase.
To load the cassette, do as follows:
9 using the proper handle (4.2), pull out, until its stop position, the cassette tray from the bucky;
9 rotate clockwise the lever that unlocks the jaws (3.2),, which block the cassette (2.2);
9 open the jaws (2.2) enough to permit the inserting of the cassette in use (5.2),;
