X-ray inspection of cast aluminum wheels
As with most other casting techniques, flaws can arise during wheel production, too. The wheel’s stability is not allowed to be endangered as a result, and any optical defects on the surface are not supposed to be visible, either. The solutions from YXLON find these flaws reliably.
YXLON offers various systems for analyzing cast wheels. Optimally customized solutions are available, depending on the application and flaw pattern involved.
The Y.MU231 X-ray system is best suited for series wheel inspection. The wheels can be fed in unfinished and in mixed-mode operation. The system identifies the wheel model automatically and inspects according to customer specification. Blowholes and foreign bodies are sorted out as individual flaws or as a cluster. The system can be used fully automatically together with Y.AI software.
The Y.MU2000-D Wheel X-ray system is used when single wheels are supposed to be inspected apart from the conveyor route. A special roller support to rotate the wheel is optionally available for the universal cabinet.
Y.MU2000-D Tire-On-Wheel can be used for X-raying the complete wheel. Here the location of the tire bead on the wheel is visualized in a tangential scan.
Computed tomography is the best method when it all depends on the details, and especially on 3D reconstruction. Y.CT systems customized specifically for the customer are delivered including a special wheel mount.
We offer you a wide range of X-ray techniques at our application centers. We design solutions that replace X-ray films, provide radioscopy and fully automatic defect recognition in X-ray images, as well as computed tomography services for scanning inspection items ranging from micro-CT to CT using a linear accelerator.
