Additional System Details

Tire manipulator:  Four vertical rolls automatically position according to the tire size to optimize tire centering and rotation. Peripheral tire speed and the image acquisition synchronization are fully computer controlled for optimum performance. Both the x-ray tube and the U-shape detector are automatically positioned according to the incoming tire size by a total of four controlled axis.

Image acquisition: Fully digital process provides image capture and display to the operator wide screen 23" monitor. Independent and asynchronous image inspection (from the tire loading and unloading process).

Panoramic x-ray tube and U-shape detector: Metal ceramic x-ray tube provides a panoramic emission angle of 6° x 280°, a 0,5 x 1,5 mm focal spot, and a max tube voltage of 100 kV. The proprietary x-ray detector carries a high-resolution line diode array. The u-shaped construction provides minimum geometric distortion.

Protective cabin: The protective cabin is lead shielded to guarantee zero emission for a total operator safety. It can be handled and moved as a single unit (easier/cheaper to transport and install). It is equipped with two service doors and two automatic sliding doors for tire in/out.
