What Are the Orthoscan TAU 1512/1515 Tube Head Covers (915-0176)?
Product: Orthoscan Generator Head Covers, TAU 1512/1515
Part Number: 915-0176
The Orthoscan TAU 1512/1515 Tube Head Covers (915-0176) are the plastic housing panels that enclose the x-ray generator and tube assembly on the c-arm head of the Orthoscan TAU 1512 and TAU 1515 Mini C-Arms. Also referred to as generator head covers, these panels protect the internal x-ray generating components, provide structural rigidity to the tube head assembly, and present the finished exterior appearance of the c-arm head. Despite the TAU 1512 and TAU 1515 having different detector field sizes (15×12 cm and 15×15 cm respectively), the tube head housing is shared between these two models, making this a single part number for both. The TAU 2020 uses a distinct, larger tube head cover set — part 915-0175. Common reasons for replacement include cracking or shattering from a drop or collision, broken mounting clips or tabs, and cosmetic damage that requires restoration prior to patient use or prior to sale. Because tube head cover replacement may require partial disassembly of the c-arm head, we recommend scheduling a Minicarm.com field service engineer for this service.

What do the tube head covers do on the TAU 1512/1515?+
The tube head covers (also called generator head covers) are the plastic housing panels that enclose the x-ray tube and generator assembly on the c-arm head. They protect the internal components from physical damage and dust, provide structural rigidity to the head assembly, and form the finished exterior of the tube head that is presented to the patient and OR environment. While primarily protective and cosmetic, a cracked or broken cover can expose internal components and should be replaced before continued clinical use.
Why do the TAU 1512 and TAU 1515 share the same cover set?+
Although the TAU 1512 and TAU 1515 have different detector sizes (15×12 cm vs. 15×15 cm), the x-ray tube and generator assembly housed within the tube head is the same physical form factor across both models. The housing that encloses that assembly is therefore identical, allowing a single cover set — part 915-0176 — to serve both models. The TAU 2020, with its larger tube head assembly, requires a separate cover set.
