Abstract

The Ceiling Suspension Unistruts or Supporting Structure for the XR-646 X-ray Medical Equipment is developed and designed in order to support the Overhead Tube Support (OTS) of the XR-646 Medical Equipment. This design is developed based on the data obtained from both General Electric Healthcare (GEHC) Equipment Specification and based on the fieldwork research. The room configuration and the equipment specifications are derived from GEHC XR-646 Pre-installation Manual. The design layout, material selection, and comparison were done on Autodesk Inventor Simulation environment with all the stresses, deflection and moments thoroughly analyzed in order to select the suitable combination that will provide the necessary support for the OTS of the XR-646.
