I noticed that surgical tubing near the pivot of the arm, and I was a tad curious. I am guessing that the center tower (the x-bar on the angle) is able to move up and down, with the surgical tubing pulling the arm up for that extra height?

Regardless, very nice design and beautiful framework.
Not for extra height, but takes some of the load off the motors that raise the arm. A spring-loaded counterweight, if you will
