JME DXB:1 digital X-ray buggy

JME would like to introduce you to our new product, the DXB:1 digital X-ray buggy, designed to produce high-quality panoramic digital radiographs of circumferential welds in applications such as new pipelines. As a versatile and configurable system, it can also be used in various non-pipeline applications, such as inspecting tank walls or other ferrous metal structures.

This digital system is a replacement for traditional film radiography; hence, no more chemical processing, darkrooms, or defects associated with conventional radiography. The DXB features a high-definition digital panel for instant image quality verification and system parameters. Images are stored digitally, eliminating the need to store films and enabling permanent recording in the control tablet. These can be backed up via USB or using a network connection, allowing images to be sent to an on-site radiographer seconds after acquisition.

The JME DXB system also communicates and integrates with our entire range of CR2 pipeline crawlers. This enables bi-directional communication between the Pipeline Crawler and the DXB, providing configuration of key robot parameters from the DXB control tablet. This integration also enables inspection to commence with the push of a single button. The DXB operator is able to control, adjust, and view the status of the CR2 robot at any time during an inspection task.

With a quick magnetic deployment system, the DXB:1 can be positioned by a single person in less than a minute. The system is secured using permanent magnets, meaning that in the event of a power outage, the unit will remain securely attached to the pipe. This rapid and efficient deployment significantly increases productivity on-site. There is no need to deploy and move welding bands between each inspection, further enhancing on-site efficiency.
