Abstract
The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for controlling the movements of the functional elements (13-16) of an X-ray apparatus, such as a panoramic X-ray apparatus. In the method, one or more power means (1) provided with a control system (21), a power stage (11) and a rotating power output shaft (2) is/are controlled so as to produce the aforesaid movements of the functional elements. The power output shaft (2) of the power means is caused to rotate by the control system and the power stage so that the power output shaft is in direct contact with the force receiving means (3, 3a) of the functional element.
