What X-ray shielding and safety measures are in place?

Operator safety is the highest priority in our system design. Matsusada Precision's X-ray CT systems are engineered as fully shielded "cabinet X-ray systems." They comply with strict international safety standards, ensuring that personnel can operate the equipment safely without the need for specialized protective gear.

• Robust Shielded Cabinet:

  The entire system is housed within a fully shielded metal enclosure lined with lead to prevent X-ray leakage. During operation, the external radiation dose is maintained well below the regulatory limit of 1 µSv/h. This level poses no risk to the operator or the surrounding environment.

• Safety Interlock System:

  The access door is equipped with a redundant safety interlock system. This failsafe design is engineered to instantly terminate X-ray emission if the door is opened or not securely closed. X-ray generation is disabled unless the shielding is fully intact.

• X-ray Emission Indicator:

  A highly visible indicator light on the front panel clearly alerts the operator whenever X-rays are being emitted. This provides immediate visual confirmation of the system status.

• Emergency Stop Button:

  For immediate shutdown in critical situations, an emergency stop button is prominently located, allowing the operator to instantly halt all system functions.

Installation Environment
Because of these multi-layered safety features, our X-ray CT systems typically do not require a dedicated lead-lined radiation room. They are designed to be integrated into standard laboratories or production environments like other industrial inspection equipment.

Note: Please verify specific installation and operation requirements with your local radiation safety regulations.
