Description The image plate is glued to a 0,3 mm sheet metal carrier. The cassette has a cassette label attached allowing the user to label the cassette. The shutter is unlocked by pushing the cassette lock. The cassette lock is either opened manually via cassette key (part of cassette delivery) or by the Cassette Unit when inserting the cassette. Backscatter protection is given by the IP carrier (sheet metal). This replaces the lead layer used in other Agfa CR cassettes. Each image plate carrier has a fluorescent label attached. Functions of the label: Indicate begin of scan (BOS) and begin of line (BOL) for scanning. This is done via the fluorescent surface. The barcode keeps image plate specific parameters which influence scanning. On the barcode label the expiration date of the image plate is written in human readable letters.

Image plate run This section describes the Image Plate (IP) run of the Digitizer for a default scan cycle. Overview of the main steps: 

The user inserts the cassette.



The Cassette Detection Light Sensor detects the cassette: The IP Drawer Module (Multiformat) pulls out the Image Plate towards the drum with three or four magnets (depending on the IP size) and the magnetic IP drawer roller. The Status LED is yellow (SW ≥ ARC_2012) or green (SW < ARC_2012) blinking.



The laser beam is switched on to read the bar code and the position of the label on the image plate carrier.



The magnetic Slow Scan Drum drives the image plate during scan. The IP Detection (Double) Light Sensor detects the image plate.



When the Slow Scan Motor has reached the required number of motor steps, it changes direction: The image plate is transported back.



The Erasure Unit erases the Image Plate during its movement back into the cassette.



The last few centimeters of the way back, the IP Drawer Module (Multiformat) drives the image plate into the cassette.



The green status LED indicates the user to remove the cassette. When taking out the cassette, it is closed again.

The Digitizer performs following activities to transport the image plate towards the (magnetic) Slow Scan Drum: 

The drawer motor drives the magnets from home position to docking position: The sheet metal of the image plate gets attracted by the four magnets.



The drawer motor drives the image plate onto the magnetic drawer unit rollers.



The magnetic drawer unit rollers take over the image plate and transport it towards the slow scan drum.



When the image plate has reached the magnetic slow scan drum, the image plate is continuously driven by the drum and the drawer unit rollers together. During this step the barcode is read out.



During this movement additionally the drawer drives back to end position: In this position it has no contact anymore with the image plate. The IP drawer light sensor detects the end position.



The slow scan drive changes the direction and transports the image plate back towards cassette until it nearly leaves the roller.



The slow scan drive changes direction again and speed up the the image plate for scanning. Thereby the barcode label is read again to detect the position of the image plate (begin of scan and begin of line).



After recognizing begin of scan signal from barcode and a predefined distance the image acquisition starts.

Figure 16




Page 33 of 218


DD+DIS155.11E

Service Manual

The Digitizer performs following activities during scan:

1.12.1.5



The Optic Module generates a red, oscillating laser beam.



The Light Collector collets the blue light, which is emitted by the image plate.



The Photomultiplier converts the blue light into electrical current.



The IP Detection (Double) Light Sensor monitors the image plate during scan.



A spring at the rear end of the IP Guide Plate shifts back the image plate after scan, in case out of any reason the contact from image plate to the Slow Scan Drum gets lost.



When the Slow Scan Drum transports the image plate back, the Erasure Unit erases the image plate.



The IP Drawer Module performs the transport back into the cassette, after the Slow Scan Drum has lost contact to the image plate.



By a very fast movement back, the IP Drawer Module (Multiformat) magnets loose contact to the image plate.



The cassette can be removed by the user: The status LED changes from yellow (SW ≥ ARC_2012) or green (SW < ARC_2012) blinking to constant green.

Releasing the Cassette

After scan, when the image plate is transported back into the cassette, the user has to press the “Cassette Release Button” to remove the cassette.



At subtypes 100, 110, 200 and 210, the release of the cassette is not mechanically blocked. Pressing the “Cassette Release Button” too early is registered by the “Cassette Detection Sensor” however, and an error message is issued.



At subtypes 300 and 310 the “Cassette Unit Multiformat” in combination with the “IP Drawer Unit Multiformat” blocks the release of the cassette mechanically, when the image plate is not yet returned to t he cassette. The mechanical principle is shown in Figure 16. Note, that the Drawer Unit Motor actively pushes the Drawer Locking Lever against the Cassette Locking Bolt. This means, the motor is permanently controlled after scan, until the Cassette is removed. When switching off the Digitizer before removal of the Cassette, there are two ways to get the Cassette out: 1. Remove Cassette Unit and pull out Cassette. 2. Switch on the Digitizer and wait until it is booted up completely. After the boot-up it is possible to remove the Cassette.

Comment

1

Approx. 1 second after switch on the status LED starts red blinking.

2

After boot-up of the PMI Board (approx. 17 seconds after switch on), until sending the self-test signal (approx. 40 seconds after switch on), the Digitizer performs following actions: 

The internal logging and error messages are loaded.



The data in the E-labels are compared with the E-label data on the USB flash drive.

The status LED stays red blinking. No audible actions. No message in the Error Viewer. 3

Send self test signal to all SW modules means: Check whether all consumers are connected. Click sounds of motors are audible. The galvo starts up.

4

When the self test starts, message “Digitizer start-up” is displayed in the Digitizer Remote Display. This message is generated by the Digitizer and will not be displayed however, if the Error Viewer is not started-up yet. This is the case for example if Digitizer and workstation are switched on simultaneously.

5

During the IP Clean-up cycle, the drawer motors is briefly audible.

6

If the NX viewer is not running following message appears in the Digitizer Remote Display: “Image processing software is not available. Restart the image processing software”. The check whether the NX application is running is repeated each three seconds, even after successful connection. Exception: After a scan cycle, when the cassette is waiting to be removed by the customer, the Digitizer does not check, whether the NX application is running.
