Del Medical FMT18T Floor-Mounted Tube Stand Overview
The Del Medical FMT18T is a premium floor-mounted tube stand that delivers advanced positioning capabilities for radiographic rooms where ceiling-mounted tube cranes are not feasible. Featuring a 10.4-inch touchscreen interface, vertical and SID tracking, auto-collimation, and an all-lock release sensor, the FMT18T provides the same level of automation and operator convenience found in Del Medical's top-tier overhead systems in a floor-rail-mounted configuration.
The FMT18T's low-profile design and 180-degree column rotation give technologists extensive positioning flexibility within the room. The vertical and SID tracking system automatically maintains source-to-image distance as the tube is raised or lowered, while auto-collimation adjusts the field size to match the receptor, reducing unnecessary radiation exposure and improving workflow consistency across exam types.
With a minimum ceiling height requirement of just 87 inches, the FMT18T is an ideal solution for facilities with low ceilings, renovated spaces, or structural limitations that prevent overhead tube crane installation. The floor-rail design also simplifies installation and reduces construction costs compared to ceiling-mounted systems. Available new and refurbished from ARRAD with nationwide installation and 24/7 service.

When should I choose a floor-mounted tube stand over an overhead tube crane?
Floor-mounted tube stands are ideal when ceiling height or structural limitations prevent overhead crane installation. The FMT18T requires only 87" minimum ceiling height compared to the higher clearance needed for overhead systems.
Does the FMT18T include the same tracking features as the OTC18T?
Yes. The FMT18T includes vertical and SID tracking, auto-collimation, a 10.4" touchscreen, and an all-lock release sensor, providing comparable automation to the OTC18T in a floor-mounted configuration.
What is the column rotation range on the FMT18T?
The FMT18T column rotates 180°, allowing the tube to be positioned over the patient table, wall stand, or other imaging positions within the room without relocating the stand along the rail.
Does ARRAD install and service the FMT18T?
Yes. ARRAD provides complete installation, calibration, training, and 24/7 nationwide service for the Del Medical FMT18T. Parts are available through radmedparts.com.
