Abstract
An x-ray arm of an x-ray system is controlled with the aid of a joystick. If there is a threat of a collision between the x-ray arm and an obstacle, for example a patient bed, a force is exerted on the guide element which generates a warning signal perceptible in a tactile manner, which indicates to the user the danger of a collision.
