…..for any 160kV/225 kV metal-ceramic x-ray tube
Jacobsen Real Time X ray Machinery Inc. developed important safety device for safe operation of the x-ray equipment. The x-ray shutter automatically blocks x-ray radiation with tungsten plate whenever access to enclosure is required or when protection for the detector is essential.
New x-ray shutter with tube housing accommodates any standard 160 kV or 225kV metal-ceramic x-ray tube.
Jacobsen Real-Time X-Ray Machinery, Ontario Canada, a manufacturer of custom xray inspection equipment designed and built new X-ray shutter to solve long-standing problem of reliable shutter operation. It is a fail-safe device that ensures short cycle
time and x-ray safety. During part loading and unloading the shutter is closed. If power is lost or disconnected, the shutter is closing immediately by set of powerful clock springs. This shutter provides end user with the flexibility of using X-ray tube from any tube supplier.
The x-ray tube is mounted inside of shutter housing so that tungsten slider closes the beam exactly on the exit window of the x-ray tube. The shutter lead time is about 4-6 weeks and cost in basic version is around US$8.000.- safety of the operator is of highest priority for Jacobsen machinery. Shutter is using
Pilz sensors and safety relay(s) to monitor all shutters’ safety functions. Highest level of safety is accomplished with shutter’s dedicated safety processor approved by BG Berufsgenossenschaft) German safety certification agency.
Jacobsen design and manufacture x-ray systems that inspect light-alloy wheels, knuckles, steering housings, engine blocks, pistons, engine covers, exhaust manifolds, transmission housings, tires, airbag sensors, micro switches, honeycomb
panels, turbine blades, spiral and length welded steel pipes, nuclear fuel elements (rods), food glass jars, medical over-mouldings, plastic components, etc.
