8. Functional description
CR 43 NDT / HD-CR 43 NDT converts the image data on the image plate into a digital image.
X-rays
EN
The cassette with the integral image plate is
placed into the X-ray appliance and exposed.
Scanning the image data
The CR 43 NDT is switched on by pressing the
ON/OFF button. The scan mode is then activated (via the interfaced PC and the software).
The cassette with the exposed image plate is
then pushed into the cassette slide as far as
possible. The cassette is automatically drawn in
and locked. In the cassette is a transponder that
transmits the identification data of the cassette
to the scanner when the cassette is pushed
in. This ensures that the scanned image is assigned with the correct evaluation. The image
plate is drawn automatically onto the scanner
slide by the transport mechanism. The scanner slide with the image plate moves past the
scanner unit where the image data are scanned.
The status of the image scanning is displayed
in a window on the monitor of the interfaced
PC. After scanning, the image plate passes
through the erasure unit. There the image plate
is erased. The image plate is then pushed back
automatically into the cassette by the transport
mechanism.
