April 2017 (1–1) True Speed Bucky

1.1 Indications for Use

The True Speed Bucky is intended to be used as a component of a medical x-ray imaging system. Its
purpose is to improve radiographic image quality by reducing the effects of scatter radiation.

1.2 Contraindications

None known

Warnings/Precautions

 When working on the Progeny True Speed Bucky when it is connected to its power source,
there is line voltage present. Avoid serious injury and equipment damage by disconnecting
power before implementing service. Remove power by turning off and removing all connections
to line voltage.

 Warning! Modifying this product may introduce hazards to the service technician, operator or
patient. This product is intended only for use as described in this 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

NOTE: Encoder flag must be centered between the position sensors prior to calibration.

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

April 2017 ( 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 via 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.
