  • Publication number: 20250155385
    Abstract: An object manipulator for an X-ray inspection system is disclosed. The object manipulator has an object stage on which a test object can be secured, a first linear guide along which the object stage can be moved in a first direction, and a second linear guide along which the object stage can be moved in a second direction. The second direction has a perpendicular component relative to the first direction, particularly being perpendicular thereto, an object stage interface being formed on the first linear guide. The object stage has an interface region in which it is detachably connected to the object stage interface via a connecting device. The object stage has a support region in which it is arranged on the first linear guide to be positionally movable thereon and which is spatially separate from the interface region, in particular at its end facing away from the interface region.

  • Patent number: 10209204
    Abstract: An X-ray inspection system includes an X-ray source and a detector. A rotary table is arranged between the X-ray source and the detector. The rotary table is configured to secure a test object on the rotary table. The rotary table is arranged on a positioning table. The positioning table is configured to move parallel to an xy-plane between the X-ray source and the detector. The xy-plane is perpendicular to a surface of the detector extending parallel to the xz-plane and the rotary table is configured to rotate about a z-axis.
