X-ray based inspection is the standard inspection method for aluminum wheel inspection.
The majority of wheels produced are meanwhile made of aluminum, on the one hand to reduce vehicle weight, but also due to the look they create. Due to fluctuations in the casting process of wheels, material defects such as blowholes and porosities cannot be completely ruled out, not even using the most modern production methods available. The wheels' stress tolerance can be impaired thereby. A safety risk can arise as a result. X-ray inspection makes material defects in wheels visible. That is why radioscopy X-ray systems have been deployed successfully for decades in spot-check sample inspection during wheel production, and especially for 100% wheel inspection. YXLON offers manual and fully automated wheel inspection systems for all throughput requirements, as well as for wheel inspection before or after mechanical processing and lacquering.
