1、 What is a fixed industrial X-ray machine?
In the field of industrial production, there is a device that can see through the internal structure of materials such as metal and plastic like Sun Wukong’s golden eyes, and it is the fixed industrial X-ray machine. Unlike common medical X-ray machines in hospitals, industrial X-ray machines are designed specifically for industrial testing, with higher power and stronger penetration, capable of detecting internal defects in various industrial products. Fixed industrial X-ray machines typically consist of X-ray generators, detector systems, mechanical transmission devices, computer image processing systems, and protective facilities, forming a complete inspection workstation. This type of equipment is generally installed in fixed positions and is used to detect larger or high-precision workpieces.
2、 Working principle of industrial X-ray machine
The working principle of industrial X-ray machines is based on the penetration characteristics of X-rays. When high voltage current passes through an X-ray tube, a high-energy X-ray beam is generated. After these X-rays penetrate the object being tested, they will form different image signals on the detector due to the varying degrees of absorption of X-rays by different materials or defects inside the object. Modern industrial X-ray machines often use digital detectors to convert X-ray signals into digital signals, which are then processed by computers to form clear digital images. Inspection personnel can visually see defects such as cracks, pores, and inclusions inside the product through these images, as well as information on whether the assembly is correct and the quality of welding.
3、 The core advantages of fixed industrial X-ray machines
High penetration capability: capable of detecting metal parts up to several hundred millimeters thick
High resolution: identifying defects as small as a few micrometers
Digital imaging: Images can be stored, transmitted, and post processed
High degree of automation: can be integrated with production lines to achieve automatic detection
Safe and reliable: multiple protection designs ensure the safety of operators
4、 Typical application scenarios of industrial X-ray machines
The casting industry is used to detect defects such as porosity, shrinkage, inclusions, etc. inside castings. A fixed X-ray machine can avoid millions of waste losses annually.
Welding inspection can detect defects such as incomplete penetration, cracks, and porosity in the weld seam, ensuring the safety of key components such as pressure vessels and pipelines.
Check the soldering quality and internal structure of electronic components such as BGA packaging and PCB boards to improve the reliability of electronic products.
Aerospace inspection of internal defects in aircraft engine blades and key components of spacecraft to ensure flight safety.
Automotive manufacturing is used to inspect the internal quality of key components such as engine cylinders and transmissions.
5、 Technological development of industrial X-ray machines
Industrial application of CT technology: Industrial CT can provide three-dimensional images, enabling more accurate defect localization and size measurement
AI intelligent recognition: Combined with artificial intelligence algorithms, it can automatically identify defect types and classify them
Higher resolution: Nanofocal X-ray source can achieve sub micron resolution
Faster detection speed: meets the high-speed detection needs of production lines
