manual.

• Warning! To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be
connected to supply mains with protective earth.

1.3 Product Description

The True Speed Bucky is designed to provide improved radiographic image quality by
utilizing a radiographic grid to reduce the effects of scatter radiation. The Progeny True
Speed Bucky employs state of the art brushless DC motor technology to oscillate a
radiographic grid at high speed over a pre-determined stroke length.

The Bucky has two modes of operation:

AUTOMATIC MODE

The automatic mode is utilized by applying power to the bucky with no additional signals.
The bucky begins oscillating and remains in motion until power is removed or for a
maximum time limit of approximately 15 seconds.

ACTIVATED MODE

The bucky is commanded to operate by a system generated start signal. After

activation, the bucky begins the motion cycle. After an initial start up delay, the bucky
provides a signal to the system enabling X-Ray exposure to begin.

3.5 CALIBRATION OF THE OPTICAL ENCODER

The True Speed Bucky electro-mechanical motion system is controlled by an optical

encoder mounted on the motion system which is sensed by two optical sensors. The
encoder travels with the grid motion. The encoder triggers the HOME sensor when the
grid is at one end of its travel. The POSITION sensor is triggered when the bars of the
encoder pass through the sensor during its travel. In this way, the position sensor
detects each millimeter of grid travel during motion. This is shown in Figure 3-1.

The grid motion control system is to be calibrated so that the grid centerline is co-
incident with the Bucky centerline when the grid is in the center of its travel length. This
is verified by manually turning the motion system so that the home flag of the optical
encoder is co-incident with the far end (farthest from the bucky center) of the HOME
position sensor. The grid centerline must now be ½ of the total travel distance from the
Bucky centerline. This is shown pictorially in Figure 3-2.

CALIBRATION OF GRID CENTER OF OSCILLATION

FIGURE 3-2

Example for 1 inch stroke length

For stroke length of one inch total grid travel, the grid centerline should oscillate ½ inch
on either side of the Bucky centerline. This is calibrated by the following steps:

• Manually rotate the grid motion mechanism until the optical encoder flag is co-
incident with the center of the HOME position sensor.

• Measure the distance between the grid centerline and the Bucky center.

• If the distance measure is ½ inch (1/2 of desired stroke length) then calibration of
the encoder flag is complete.

• To set the desired distance, loosen the 4 brackets holding the grid in place and
adjust the grid such that the grid centerline is ½ inch from the Bucky centerline.
Measure the Bucky centerline from the middle of the Bucky centering slot.

• Manually rotate the encoder ½ inch to place the grid centerline in the Bucky
center. Verify the grid centerline is within the slot marking the Bucky center.

• Repeat the grid adjustment as necessary.

• Tighten the 4 grid holding brackets.

DESCRIPTION
OF OPERATION

January 2014 ( 4- 1 ) True Speed Bucky

4.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The True Speed Bucky is designed to provide an oscillating motion system for focused
grids. The use of a focused grid implies that the grid is designed to be used in such a
way as to keep the grid centerline at the X-Ray field center. For this reason, the Bucky
is designed for the grid to oscillate about the Bucky center.

4.2 OVER-CURRENT PROTECTION

Over-current protection is provided the automatically resettable “PTC” device. This

device requires one minute after electrical power is removed to reset.

4.3 OPTICAL SENSORS

The True Speed Bucky electro-mechanical motion system is controlled by an optical

encoder mounted on the motion system which is sensed by two optical sensors. The
encoder travels with the grid motion. The encoder triggers the HOME sensor when the
grid is at one end of its travel. The POSITION sensor is triggered when the bars of the
encoder pass through the sensor during its travel. In this way, the position sensor
detects each millimeter of grid travel during motion.

4.4 START SIGNAL

The bucky requires a 110-240 volt AC power supply from the x-ray generator. This
voltage must be provided across “L” and “N” of the bucky terminal strip. To trigger grid
motion, the x-ray generator must close an unpowered, isolated, set of contacts across
“L” and “3”. Exposure release, from the bucky, once the grid has reached the proper
speed and position is provided in the form of an isolated set of relay contacts. These
contacts are intended to be placed in series with the x-ray generator exposure interlocks
and, are identified as “1” and “2” on the bucky terminal strip.

4.5 EXPOSURE HOLD RELAY

The Exposure Hold Relay is designated RL1 on the electronics circuit board. This relay
provides its normally open contacts to pins 1 and 2 of J4. These two pins are connected
via the wiring harness to the terminal block for use by the system. The closure of these
contacts is a signal to the X-Ray system that the Bucky is moving.

4.6 MOTION SYSTEM

The motion system consists of a brushless DC motor connected to a lead screw and nut
combination. As the lead screw rotates, the nut moves linearly. The nut contains a
bracket which connects to the grid chassis as well as to the optical encoder flag.

The use of a brushless DC motor allows for a very rapid acceleration up to the constant
speed of motion, and by use of closed loop motor control, the constant speed is
maintained throughout the grid stroke travel distance.
