  • Patent number: 12480891
    Abstract: A scanning system includes first and second parallel rails. A gantry can span between the first rail and the second rail. The gantry can be movable along a length of the first rail and a length of the second rail. A vertical track can be mounted to the gantry. The vertical track can be movable with the gantry. A sample platform can coupled to the vertical track. The sample platform can be movable along the vertical track. A first support can extend between the first rail and the second rail. The first support can be at a first end of the first rail and a first end of the second rail. A second support can extend between the first rail and the second rail. The second support can be at a second end of the first rail and a second end of the second rail.

  • Patent number: 12315652
    Abstract: An x-ray shielding cabinet includes a housing that at least partially defines a cavity configured to receive and retain an x-ray scanning system. A first door and a second door partially define a side and top of the cavity. A first track supports a first end of the first door and a second track on the supports a second end of the first door. The first door is movable along the first track and the second track. A third track supports a first end of the second door, and a fourth track supports a second end of the second door. The fourth track is parallel to the first track, the second track, and the third track. The second door is movable along the third track and the fourth track. The first and second doors are configured to travel across one another when moving between an open position and a closed position.

  • Publication number: 20150330916
    Abstract: A system for the automated serial testing and/or measuring of a plurality of substantially identical components by X-radiation, the system comprising a testing device with a support, a rotor mounted so as to be continuously rotatable on the support, and an X-ray device disposed on the rotor, a protective enclosure surrounding the testing device, a handling device for handling a component during X-ray testing, and a control/evaluation unit configured for automatically controlling the system as well as evaluating the X-ray signals by computer tomography. The handling device is configured for periodically reciprocating between a loading region and a testing region and comprises an end face element on which the component can be disposed on the side of the end face.
