In this tip Joe discusses the steel covers on the Definition family of CT systems from Siemens. The importance of checking torque values when replacing the covers after service can save your system from major issues!
Today, we’re discussing the Definition line of CT scanners, specifically focusing on the steel covers. After servicing certain components within the gantry, it’s crucial to reinstall these steel covers properly.
A key point is to verify and adhere to the specified torque values for the bolts associated with whichever component you’re replacing. Correct torque is essential for maintaining the proper balance of the gantry, helping you avoid unnecessary downtime.
