INTRODUCTION: 
Symptom : 
Problems with the radiation geometry during operation of the tube assembly. 
The centering of the central beam does not coincide with the geometry of the imaging 
system (film or, respectively, image intensifier). 
Cause : 
The tube assembly is centered with respect to the system via the supporting bridge of 
the tube housing. The required stability to keep the tube assembly in position with 
respect to the central beam is provided by especially specified fixing screws (1).  
See sketch below:

Complaints from the field and inspections of returned tube assemblies have revealed 
that sometimes the fixing screws of the supporting bridge of the tube housing were 
loose. It was also found out that unspecified lengths of screws were used in the field 
which caused damage of the tube housing.
Remedy : 
Check of whether the fixing screws are tight and, if necessary, retightening of the 
fixing screws at least once a year. This work can be carried out during regular 
maintenance or any other service action. 
To fix the retaining rings of the supporting bridge of the tube housing use six 
cheese-head screws 
Code number screw M5 x 12:  2522 007 15036 
Code number spring washer M5: 2512 767 06004 
The supporting bridge of the tube housing is fixed at the system side with four screws
