What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The YXLON WI26 is a real-time X-ray inspection system designed for the non-destructive testing of wheels. The system belongs to a class of dedicated wheel inspection machines used in automotive manufacturing. The model designation WI26 reflects its orientation toward wheel inspection.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Real-time wheel inspection systems use X-ray sources and detectors to capture live images of a wheel as it rotates or moves through the beam. The system typically employs automatic defect recognition software to identify flaws without operator intervention. The inspection process involves splitting the X-ray image into regions of interest for precise defect analysis. The imaging chain provides continuous feedback to a control station.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key factors influencing image quality in these machines?General reference — not yet source-verified

Image resolution is primarily determined by the X-ray source focal spot size—smaller spots yield finer feature distinction—and by detector pixel size. Contrast depends on the X-ray spectrum and the use of filters or digital post-processing. System stability, sample handling precision, and the choice of imaging mode (e.g., continuous or pulsed) also affect the final image quality.

Can these systems be used for measurement of internal dimensions?General reference — not yet source-verified

Yes, metrology is a core function. Dedicated software enables calibrated measurements of length, angle, and area within the X-ray image, or across multiple projections for three‑dimensional analysis. The accuracy depends on the calibration procedure and the scale of the measurement relative to the system resolution.
