Safe Operation of X-ray Inspection Systems

Radiation intensity diminishes according to the inverse square law--doubling the distance reduces the dose to one-fourth. Establish a controlled area around the X-ray system. Use barriers, ropes, or floor markings to restrict access to authorized personnel only.

Monitoring radiation levels is essential for safety management. The following instruments are commonly used:

Survey Meters

Used to detect and measure real-time radiation levels in a specific location or around the equipment.

Pocket Dosimeters

Worn by personnel to monitor cumulative radiation exposure over a specific 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.

Our X-ray inspection systems are engineered with multiple safety layers based on radiation protection principles.

Minimized X-ray Leakage

All products feature robust lead shielding to minimize surface radiation leakage, ensuring operator safety.

Auto-off Timer

The system automatically shuts off X-ray output after a preset time (up to 60 minutes) to prevent accidental continuous exposure.

Safety Interlock System

X-ray generation is immediately cut off if the enclosure door is opened during operation.

Emergency Stop

A prominent emergency stop button allows operators to instantly halt X-ray output and stage movement in critical situations.

X-ray shielding partition

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