ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to inspection or X-ray testing system for vehicle wheels consisting of a rim and a supporting structure of the kind comprising an X-ray tube, and X-ray screen with a post-positioned monitor and a system for reception of the wheel fed in rim-down, for placing the same into the beam path of the X-ray tube, and for ejecting the wheel after inspection. To shorten the inspection or testing period, the system according to the invention comprises a chute displaceable around a horizontal pivot spindle for the wheel which may be pivoted to the appropriate positions for reception, immobilization during the testing or inspection and the ejection of the wheel. The pivot spindle extends parallel to the X-ray screen as well as to the chute. The chute has a stop system to establish the testing position of the wheel on the chute and a clamping mechanism for immobilizing the wheel slid into the testing position. The X-ray tube is movable at least between a first operating position for the transillumination of the axial rim halves, and a second operating position for the transillumination of the wheel element support structure.
