Patent ID: 7832927

Claim:
A manipulating system, for manipulating two telescopic columns into desired positions, wherein the system comprises: one or more rails arranged in parallel in a first direction X in an X-Y plane; a carriage comprising an upper and a lower section, where said upper section comprises means for travelling along the one or more rails in the X direction, and the lower section is rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the X-Y plane by means of a rotation device arranged between the upper and lower section; two sliding rails arranged in parallel with a mutual distance between the sliding rails, provided in a lower face of the lower section, where the sliding rails overlap each other in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the sliding rails; two telescopic columns extendable in a Z direction, perpendicular to the X-Y plane, where each column is slidably fastened to separate sliding rails in the lower section, and where the columns slide past each other on the sliding rails; connection means arranged in the free ends of the telescopic columns, where said connection means are capable of being used in order to mount X-ray equipment, detectors, extension arms and/or vision systems and the like.
