DEVICE FOR X-RAY TESTING A WHEEL

摘要

The invention relates to a device for X-ray testing a wheel, which comprises a system (70a, 70b) for conveying said wheel (40) in a transport direction and plane (80) to a test location or test point and for removing said wheel (40) from the test location in said transport direction and plane (80). The present device also comprises a system (170) for handling the wheel (40). Said handling system comprises a system (240a, 240b) for gripping said wheel (40) at said test location, for rotating the wheel (40) about a rotation axis thereof and for swivelling said wheel (40) about a swivelling axis, which substantially extends in said transport plane. An X-ray device (160) having an X-ray emitter (180) and an X-ray detector (190), which define a ray path extending perpendicularly to said swivelling axis, is adapted, such that said ray path can be displaced laterally along a plane, perpendicular to said ray path. Due to the present device, a test process is less expensive.
