Industrial X-ray Inspection: A Guide to Customized Inspection Solutions and Digital Radiography – Part 3

摘要

The first part of this article introduced the basic concept of digitalX-ray imaging, its components, and the commercial principles of suchcapital investment. Additionally, several metrics to analyze and compareprocesses and technologies were discussed and explained. The secondpart focused on the process to implement a digital radiography systemstarting from the initial demand, to definition of specification, to casestudies, and up to installation and maintenance. To give readers abetter understanding, different techniques like real-time radiography,automated defect recognition (ADR), and computed tomography wereintroduced and analyzed. The bottom line was that the process ofimplementing this technology requires a well-structured approach toavoid typical pitfalls. The last part of this article will outline characteristicrequirements of different industries like automotive, aerospace,defense, or oil and gas. This includes special quality standards, processrequirements, and company guidelines. To wrap this series up, thisarticle will explain examples of systems and concepts for each industryand the different automation levels to provide inspiration.
