Compact X-ray cabinets

Compact X-ray cabinets : presentation

To characterise small parts, components and materials, Lemer Pax relies on its long-standing expertise in the design and manufacture of standard and customised compact X-ray cabinets.

Steps to follow to create your compact X-ray cabinets

1. Preparation of the specifications: dimensions, volumes, specific requirements, source types, etc.

2. Radiation protection calculations: definition of the radiation protection materials and their thicknesses

3. Determination of the type of framework depending on the lead thicknesses and assembly methods chosen:

• For thin layers of lead (0.5 to 5 mm): “Sandwich” panels: Panoplomb® panels (shielded plywood support), Mélaplomb® (shielded laminated panel) or steel plates on metal framework.
• For thicker layers of lead (from 5 mm): Lead supported on metal framework (good mechanical strength guaranteed – radiation protection continuity) and walls made of Steel – Lead – Steel layers.

4. Manufacture and installation of the compact cabinet in our workshops

5. Installation of safety equipment: indicator lights on management electrical cabinet, lighting, door safety contacts, etc.

6. Addition of optional equipment: conveyors for motorised introduction removal of parts, ventilation, ergonomic handling trays, lift table, etc.

7. Installation of ancillary and/or complementary radiation protection equipment:

• Motorised shielded doors for integration in automated cycles
• Shielded baffles
• Lead glass viewing windows

8. Validation of radiation protection by an accredited organisation: 100 % guarantee of compliance
