Manipulator for non-destructive materials testing device e.g. X-ray testing device, using 2 independently displaced linear axes for movement of pivot support for testing device

摘要

The manipulator has a support (2) to which the materials testing device (4,6) is attached, which pivots about a pivot pin (18) and which is displaced in a longitudinal direction (10,14). The manipulator has 2 linear axes (8,12) to which the support is hinged, which are independently displaced in the longitudinal direction. Also included are Independent claims for the following: (A) a non-destructive materials testing device; (B) a control method for positioning an X-ray testing device via a manipulator.
