FILMLESS AUTOMATED ROENTGENOMETRIC SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC G01N23/04 

FIELD: technological processes; measurement technology.

SUBSTANCE: use: for radiographic quality control of welded joints of various metal structures, in particular, pipes. Summary of invention consists in the fact filmless automated X-ray system comprises an X-ray source, detector module installed on the carriage of automated movement and positioning, control and power supply unit. Portable computer is provided in the system to control the carriage, obtain and process control results of welded joints. In the case of a panoramic X-ray method, the X-ray source is placed inside the metal structure. In case of frontal X-ray method, X-ray source is arranged on second carriage either outside metal structure or on its inner surface. Carriage of automated movement and positioning contains magnetic wheels, stationary handle, movable tear-off handle, tear-off rollers, guides for fixing the detector module, as well as step motors. Carriage magnetic disks consists of two disks with magnet disc arranged there between. On the surface of the discs, notches are made parallel to the wheels rotation axis. Control and power supply unit is connected to the detector module of the carriage by means of a cable.

EFFECT: reduced time of assembly and dismantling, possibility of controlling both transverse and longitudinal welded joints of metal structures, having different cross-section shape, as well as wider range of technical means of digital flaw detection.
