Zusammenfassung:A three axis pneumatic power assist system which is particularly adapted to move a spot film device over a patient lying on an X-ray table. Three separate pneumatic circuits are adapted to power three mutually perpendicularly movable carriages in response to a control handle mounted on the spot film device so that the spot film device may be easily movable anywhere over the top of the X-ray table within predefined limits. A double acting spring biased spool valve is utilized for each of the three axes and is actuable by the control handle to cause a control signal to be fed to a pneumatic actuator which powers the respective carriage. When desirable the control handle and the control valves may be remotely located from the X-ray table and the spot film device with suitable pneumatic interconnection lines being provided therebetween.
