  • Publication number: 20260146961
    Abstract: X-ray system for examining N objects, in particular N battery modules for quality testing, comprising: a linear accelerator configured to emit X-ray radiation with an energy ?1 MeV at a cone-shaped emission angle; N X-ray detectors that are each configured to detect the X-ray radiation in a partial cone of the cone-shaped emission angle; N rotational axes and for N objects that are each assigned to a partial cone and that are arranged in each one; a collimator configured in two stages, wherein a first stage defines the cone-shaped emission angle at which the X-ray radiation is emitted and wherein a second stage defines the N partial cones.

  • Publication number: 20250297972
    Abstract: X-ray system for non-destructive material inspection of an object to be irradiated, in particular of a battery module of a vehicle, or a battery module incorporated in a vehicle, comprising at least one radiation source; at least one radiation detector; wherein the object to be irradiated is arranged between the at least one radiation source and the at least one radiation detector, wherein the at least one radiation source is arranged spaced apart from the object to be irradiated with at least two times, or at least three times, or at least five times the width of the scanning area (such that a fan-shaped radiation geometry is formed at least in transverse direction), wherein the opening angle of the radiation geometry is less than 10°.

  • Patent number: 11262318
    Abstract: An adaptor for a turntable of a CT system includes at least two object turntables for at least two objects and a rotation transmission element configured to be coupled to the turntable of the CT system. The two object turntables are coupled to each other using a coupler such that the at least two object turntables rotate simultaneously. The rotation transmission element is coupled to the coupler and configured to transmit a rotation from the turntable of the CT system to the coupler in order to drive the at least two object turntables.
