| Issue: | The bolts used to fix the balance weight of the data measurement system (DMS) may show signs of metal fatigue. The function of these bolts may potentially degrade over time and impact stability. It should be noted that the rupture of a single bolt does not pose a hazard, however in the unlikely situation that all bolts break over time, this could cause the DMS balance weight to drop into the gantry. |
