7-3 Telescopic Column and Carriage
The carriage rides laterally (LAT) within the bridge. The lateral lock controls its
motion. The switch marked LAT on the front of the collimator operates the lock.
This switch functions in the same manner as the one for the longitudinal lock.
The telescopic column permits vertical (VERT) travel of the tube unit. The vertical
lock controls its motion. The switch marked VERT on the user interface operates
the lock. The switch must be held down while moving the tube unit.
The vertical load is balanced by a spring counterpoise system within the
carriage. The counterpoise system is equipped with a safety-locking feature to
prevent the tube unit from falling in the event of spring or main cable failure.
Adding an accessory such as a collimator extension cylinder may cause the
suspension to be slightly out of balance.
Proteus XR/a Collimator accessory weight may not exceed 4.5 kg (10
pounds), and Eclipse Proteus Collimator accessory weight may not
exceed 7.0 kg (15.4 pounds).Use special care when using such an
accessory since the tube unit will tend to descend when the vertical
lock is released.
