ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for guiding cables around a rotating gantry which includes a guide chain having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is connected to a stationary portion of the rotating gantry and the second end is connected to a rotating portion of the gantry. The apparatus for guiding cables around a rotating gantry also includes means for maintaining the guide chain adjacent to at least one of the stationary portion and the rotating portion of the rotating gantry. Specifically, the means for maintaining the guide chain adjacent to at least one of the stationary portion and the rotating portion of the rotating gantry includes a plurality of plates connected to the guide chain and a magnetic strip positioned adjacent to at least one of the stationary portion and the rotating portion of the rotating gantry. The plurality of plates is preferably formed of a ferrous metal. In the apparatus for guiding cables around a rotating gantry, the magnetic strip may be connected adjacent to an inner diameter of the stationery portion of the rotating gantry, or any other suitable surface.
