How to use X-ray Inspection System safely

X-rays are attenuated in inverse proportion to the square of the distance. In other words, it is important for you to immediately move away when there is a risk of X-ray leakage or risk of radiation exposure. Secure an area of sufficient distance from the source of X-rays, and restrict access to only essential personnel by surrounding the system unit with rope or by placing stickers on the floor.

A method for measuring radiation: Survey meters and pocket dosimeters are used to monitor X-ray dose.

Survey meters

Radiation dose is measured by pointing the tip of the detector toward the location you want to measure.

Pocket dosimeters

Pocket dosimeters are worn on the chest or abdomen to measure the cumulative radiation dose an individual has received over a period.

X-rays are attenuated as they pass through substances. The amount of attenuation depends on the substance. For substances of the same thickness, heavy metals with large atomic numbers have a higher shielding effect. For the same material, the greater the thickness, the higher the shielding effect. Lead is commonly used as a shield.

Low leakage X-ray dose

All our products are shielded with lead.

Auto-off function

To prevent accidents due to a worker forgetting to turn off the X-rays, the X-rays are automatically stopped when the set time elapses. A time of up to 60 minutes can be set.

Interlock function

X-rays are stopped the moment the door is opened.

Emergency stop function

The X-rays and the stage are stopped simply by pressing the emergency stop button.

X-ray shielding partition

We also offer shielding partitions that are embedded with lead for protection against X-rays.
