Couch — routing of the internal cables at the linkage unit (work procedure)
The source (§2.6.6, labelled "<Work procedure>") is a step-by-step routing procedure — follow steps (1) through (8) below to route the couch's internal cable bundle back exactly the way Toshiba specifies, from the linkage unit rising section up to the top of the linkage unit, next to the hydraulic (vertical drive) cylinder. In practice you also return to this page as a reference whenever the
Tools & parts
| Item | Part number | Qty |
|---|---|---|
| Clamp, small — used at callout <1> (linkage unit rising section); no part number given in source | n/a in source | |
| Clamp, medium — used at callouts <3>, <7>, <11> | AWK002-08 | |
| Clamp, large — used at callouts <4>, <8>, <10> | AWK002-09 | |
| Clamp retaining bracket — paired with the large clamp (AWK002-09) at callout <8>, cable guide plate | n/a in source | |
| Screw, M4, 8 mm long — mounts the clamps/retaining bracket at callouts <7> and <8> | n/a in source | |
| Cable ties — multiple, at the locations specified per callout (see Steps) | n/a in source |
Safety
Hazard: Twisting the bundled internal couch cables while performing steps (3)-(6) below, or mounting cable ties/clamps at locations other than the ones specified for the linkage unit
Consequence: (derived - not in source) A twisted or incorrectly clamped cable bundle can chafe, fatigue, or bind at the linkage unit as the couch cycles vertically, leading to intermittent signal/power faults or eventual cable failure
Avoidance: Perform steps (3) through (6) with care to avoid any twisting of the bundled cables; mount cable ties and clamps only at the locations specified for the linkage unit
Hazard: Fitting the medium clamp (AWK002-08) or the large clamp (AWK002-09) into the wrong one of the two available mounting holes
Consequence: (derived - not in source) The source specifies opposite hole choices for the two clamp sizes; using the wrong hole leaves the clamp's effective internal diameter mismatched to the cable bundle it is meant to secure
Avoidance: When the medium clamp (AWK002-08) is used, mount it in the hole that gives the clamp the LARGE internal diameter. When the large clamp (AWK002-09) is used, mount it in the hole that gives it the SMALL internal diameter
