X-Ray System
Designed for IRT Corporation
Precision Research contracted to design a revolutionary new X-Ray System.
The project was started from zero and the first unit was operational in 6 1/2 months.
IRT had been producing Industrial X-Ray Systems for several years and was a world leader in its marketplace. The company had completed a working prototype of a revolutionary x-ray system for detecting drugs and weapons on people. Precision Research was requested to take the concept from the prototype stage and design a functional machine for production with the objective of achieving reliability, high product output with stringent manufacturing cost limitations.
Precision Research styled, designed, developed and assisted is managing the startup of production of the entire system. The design employed unique concepts combining lead-screws, servo-motors and unique cams configurations to achieve complex combinations for rapid tilting while simultaneosly lifting of the X-Ray assembly within the enclosure. The entire design, engineering and production of the first unit was completed and operational in 6 1/2 months.
Precision Research was also contracted as a consultant on designs and proposals for varied customs systems for Air Bag inspection and analysis.
