The flexibility of the MAXIpart&#8482; system in ccommodating small alloy castings (30mm (d) x 100 mm (h)) to very large alloy castings (1000mm (d) x 2300mm (h)) makes it a one of a kind on the market today. With Jacobsen&#8217;s x-ray machines, customers get<br \/>\nthe competitive edge and state of the art x-ray machine that can cut 30% off of their inspection time.<\/p>\n<p>A global provider of custom x-ray inspection equipment, Jacobsen builds each machine for a specific application. Jacobsen manufactures manual, semi and fully automatic x-ray inspection systems. Jacobsen believes that the intelligent use of x-ray inspection technology improves the quality of castings and decreases the amount of rework and production delays.<\/p>\n<p>The customer&#8217;s cost in terms of time and material is dramatically reduced when x-ray inspection equipment is part of the production line. The designed-to-order systems are built for heavy duty 24\/7 x-ray applications with a 99% uptime and provide years of trouble-free<br \/>\noperation. The MAXIpart&#8482; machine is comprised of a C-arm equipped with four axes servo, a partrotating table with three or four axes servo and a servo-driven sliding door. Accurate servo<br \/>\npositioning with high resolution Lenze drives facilitates detailed inspection of complex part geometries.<\/p>\n<p>The semi-automatic MAXIpart&#8482; machine allows the operator to place an inspection sample, i.e. aluminum-alloy high-speed train gearbox housing, manually by crane onto the partrotating<br \/>\ntable which moves outside of the x-ray enclosure into part loading position. The partrotating table is belt driven to overcome large inertial forces and is equipped with interchangeable x-ray transparent plates that hold the part in position from the top and\/or from the bottom. Available table and fixture kits allow x-rays to pass through the testing sample without creating shadows that disturb the inspection. When part loading is complete, the operator uses a touch-screen interface to initiate the preprogrammed part inspection cycle. The rotating table with the part on it tilts into the x-ray<br \/>\nenclosure and the servo-driven sliding door closes. The machine&#8217;s PC-based controls assign the actual part to a pre-programmed type and downloads all part data. The table with the part moves into its inspection position. The C-arm manipulator with image intensifier or flat panel detector and the x-ray tube with shutter, diaphragm and filter move into inspection position&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press Release 03\/11\/2009 Jacobsen Real-Time X-Ray Machinery, Ontario Canada, a manufacturer of custom x-ray inspection equipment, designed and built a new x-ray machine for large alloy castings for a German customer.
