Additional notes

The AMX 4 Horizontal Arm is a component in the AMX 4 system, which is a radiographic system used for imaging method diagnosis using X-Rays. The system works on the principle where high velocity electrons, when interacted with patient’s body, their kinetic energy is converted into electromagnetic radiation (X-Rays). A detector that is in line with the source of rays, detects them and measures their properties. As the tube assembly is counterbalanced, no active lock is required for the horizontal arm, and little effort is needed to override friction and rotate the tube. The arm has a motor brake attached to it, through 3-circuit housing panel, for the safe movement of the arm. The horizontal arm is retractable arm which are an extended to the desired length. Along with AMX 4, the horizontal arm also is used in equipment like XR AMX 2, XV Advantx LCA, UL LOGIQ E9, XV Advantx LC, XR RT TBL MS GEN, UL RT 3200, XF Precision 500D, CT LightSpeed 5.X Pro 16-Slice, XR Definium AMX 700, XV Innova 2000, XF RFX/SFX MPX, XF Monitrol 90 MS GEN, XM Senographe Essential and XM Diamond Delta 32, among others.
