Selectable™ Collimator

Our Selectable™ provides pre-formatted sizing without the complexity of traditional “automatic PBL” systems. Technicians can easily select film size and SID directly from the front panel. Uniquely simple, it alleviates complex systems traditionally required to accept, size and feed information from the Bucky to the collimator. Micro-controller electronics are self-contained in the collimator head, eliminating problems with complex remote electronic logic and cabling. Our highly engineered modular core, component reduction and perpendicular flat collimator blades provide extreme accuracy, reliability and easy serviceability.
