DXB:1
JME would like to present our newest 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 utilised for use in various non-pipeline applications, such as the inspection of tank walls or other ferrous metal structures.
This digital system is a replacement for traditional film radiography; so no more chemical processing, dark rooms, or flaws associated with conventional radiography. The DXB includes a high-definition digital panel for instant verification of image quality and system settings. Images are digitally stored, preventing the need for film storage and enabling a permanent record to be saved within the control tablet. These can be backed up via USB or using a Network connection, allowing the images to be sent to an on-site Radiographer seconds from acquisition.
JME’s DXB system also communicates and integrates with our entire CR2 Pipeline Crawler Range. This allows 2-way communication between the Pipeline Crawler and DXB, giving configuration of key crawler parameters from the DXB control tablet. This integration also allows commencement of inspection with the push of a single button. The DXB operator is able to control, adjust and view the status of the CR2 crawler at all times during an inspection task.
With a rapid magnetic deployment system, the DXB:1 can be positioned by a single person in less than a minute. The system is attached using full time magnets, meaning in the event of a loss of power the unit will remain firmly attached to the pipe. This quick and efficient deployment dramatically increases productivity on-site. There is no need for welding bands to be deployed and relocated between each inspection which again greatly improves efficiency on-site.,
