Mech. gantry system for nondestructive testing of huge objects / Lieferung drehbares Portalsystystem

Delivery of a portal rotatable gantry-type system prepared for the integration of a 9 MeV linear accelerator and a 4 m long X-ray detector for computed tomography of large objects (e.g. complete cars) in the field of non-destructive testing. This gantry is intended to scan objects with outer dimensions of a 20-foot sea freight container (1TEU). The mechnical design and the corresponding system controls must support two distinct CT scan procedures. The SFB scan procedure is designed such that the object is moved in x-direction through the gantry continuously at a constant velocity while the gantry remains stationary at a fixed rotation angle. After the object has successfully passed through, the gantry is rotated by one angular step, and the object is moved through the gantry again in reversed direction. The Sinogram scan mode involves the continous rotation at a constant angular velocity of the gantry while the object remains stationary. After one complete rotation the object is moved by one step in x-direction and the gantry is rotated again in reversed direction. The scope of work includes the design, manufacturing, and assembly of the gantry system in the existing X-ray facility in Fürth, including all hardware and electronic components, the interfaces necessary for the movement of the gantry and object feed control components and a precise feed unit to move the measurement object through the gantry during the CT process. The linear accelerator and the detector are not included in the scope of work, but will be supplied by the client. Suitable hardware interfaces for both components have to be provided.
