Additional notes

The XYZ Switch Assembly is used in the ultrasound machines, Computed Tomography (CT) machines and in a few other Digital Imaging (DI) devices. It is one of the parts that comes in the High Level Assembly (HLA) of this medical equipment. It is an assembly that consists of an XY button which is used for braking purposes, a Z button which is used for the lifting mechanism, a bracket on which the buttons are placed and set into the panel and a board that comes behind the switch buttons and is used for the up-down movement. All three switches will function in closed circuit when pushed and in open circuit when released. The closed circuit will be less than 3 ohms. All these parts are made up of a high quality material which has good mechanical properties and can withstand a wide range of temperatures and pressures. It is widely being used in machines like Vivid E95 / E9 / E9 EXPERT / 7 / E90 / S70, ENTROPY Module, Signa HDxt 1.5T, Optima CT660 64-Slice, Voluson S6 / P8 / E6 / E8, LOGIQ E9 / S7 EXPERT / E / E PREMIUM, ABUS Invenia GENII and many other medical diagnostic devices.
