METHOD OF OPERATING A RADIOGRAPHIC INSPECTION SYSTEM WITH A MODULAR CONVEYOR CHAIN

摘要

The method of operating a radiographic inspection system is specifically designed for a system in which a conveyor chain with identical modular chain segments is transporting the articles under inspection. The method encompasses two operating modes of the radiographic inspection system, i.e. a calibration mode in which calibration data characterizing the radiographic inspection system with the empty conveyor chain are generated, and an inspection mode in which raw image data of the articles under inspection with the background of the conveyor chain are acquired and arithmetically processed with the help of the calibration data into a clear output image without the interfering background of the conveyor chain.
