Potter-Bucky with flat panel detector LZX‑7

with CR detector

Short Description
The LZX-7 side-mounted electric vertical bucky stand is a vertical image receptor support for standing radiographic examinations. It uses a side-fixed electric lifting column and is compatible with traditional X-ray cassettes, CR imaging plates and DR flat-panel detectors, supporting both analog and digital radiography workflows in medical facilities.

Working Principle and Structure
The LZX-7 consists of a fixed vertical column, a movable carriage, a pull-out bucky tray and a balance assembly. An electric lifting mechanism drives the carriage along the column for smooth vertical adjustment. The bucky tray pulls out for insertion of the imaging medium; an adjustable card slot accepts media up to 19 mm thickness. An optional anti-scatter grid can be installed inside the bucky to reduce scattered radiation and improve image contrast for chest and abdominal imaging.

Core Product Advantages

• Broad detector compatibility: card slot fits media ≤19 mm and accepts traditional X-ray cassettes, CR IP plates and DR flat panels; applicable sizes 5″×7″–17″×17″.
• Large adjustable travel for multi-region imaging: maximum vertical travel 1300 mm. Bucky top edge 750 mm–2050 mm above floor; bottom edge 250 mm–1550 mm. Center height for 17″×17″ bucky 500 mm–1800 mm, enabling head, chest, abdomen and pelvis imaging for adults and children.
• Space‑efficient side-mounted electric design: side column occupies less floor area than center double-column racks; electric adjustment reduces manual handling and speeds patient throughput.
• Optional anti-scatter grid to enhance image quality: available grid specification — density 40 lines/cm, grid ratio 10:1, convergence distance 180 cm.

Typical Application Scenarios

• Hospital radiology departments: standing X-ray exams of chest, ribs, abdomen, pelvis and skull; electric adjustment supports high daily patient volumes.
• Physical examination centers and community clinics: chest screening and group health checks; mixed CR/DR compatibility supports gradual digital upgrade.
• Small and medium-sized medical institutions: compact side-mounted layout saves space and pairs with stationary X-ray generators to form a cost-effective fixed vertical radiography station.

Professional Selection & Operation Guidance
When selecting a vertical bucky stand, verify three key factors: vertical travel range, detector compatibility and whether an anti-scatter grid is required. A grid is recommended for chest radiography to improve diagnostic contrast. For daily use, choose the appropriate imaging plate size and insert it securely into the bucky tray, then adjust the bucky center height to the patient anatomy before exposure. Perform periodic maintenance on the lifting mechanism and sliding rails to ensure smooth movement and maintain service life. The LZX-7 supports both conventional film and modern digital DR workflows, enabling flexible multi-height standing radiography in a variety of medical settings.
