Theres nothing more frustrating than when a
machine you depend upon doesnt work. This
especially holds true with X-ray machines.9
Issues with X-Rays What do you do if it suddenly
shuts down? Or wont turn on? There are some
common problems that can occur occasionally with
some X-ray machines and some pretty easy ways to
troubleshoot the issues. The team of experts at
Atlantis Worldwide put together this list to help
you understand and potentially solve the issue.

The guide rail is jamming while it moves. When
this happened, you cant get a test sample into
the machine properly, which delays the production
process. This usual cause of this in an
electrical fault. Youll need to call an
experienced technician to repair it. Your X-ray
machines restarts automatically after booting
without entirely booting. This means you cant
use the X-ray machine to perform an analysis. You
should first check the cooling system for debris
and dust which could be preventing the fan from
working. Clean the fan and restart. If that
doesnt solve the problem, try uninstalling the
operating system and reinstall the latest
version. If that doesnt work, run an antivirus
program to clear any malware that might be on
your computer.

The X//Y/Z and R axis only moves in one
direction. The X/Y/Z and R axis. Try going to the
data calibration area of the software and reset
the values of the X, Y, Z ad R axis. Theres a
blurring effect in X-ray imaging. There are
several possible issues causing this. You might
have undesirable scatter X-rays. Try using
narrower X-ray beams by controlling their width
from the console. You can also use the grids
below the sample object under inspection. You can
also try using minimal focus points between
0.5mm-1.0mm to eliminate the blurring.

The X-ray radiation center isnt aligning with
the image center. That means part of the object
could be missing from an image, which makes it
difficult to make an accurate assessment and
delivers inadequate results. Your positioning
might be off, due to a lack of guides when you
place the sample on the platform. Make sure you
get these from the manufacturer. Then make sure
the sample is placed firmly so it cant twist its
position. You press the start button and
theres no output data. Sometimes the computer
will engage a default procedure written in the
software to avoid using the start button
accidentally. This could cause an error in
analysis. Just go to your computers data output
settings and set the number of repetitions to a
relatively large number.

Long delays in seeing the X-ray images. This is
usually the result of a weak signal from the
X-ray projections on the sample. Just adjust the
amount of radiation reaching the detector from
the console by increasing the voltage released
from the tune generator. Part of the image isnt
visible on the X-ray machine. This can be caused
by an inverted radiograph. Just turn the
radiograph back to the proper position. In some
cases this can be caused by a scratched screen,
which would require a new one. Overexposure could
also be responsible for the missing part of the
image and in that situation, reduce the objects
exposure on the X-ray machines menu.

Theres no computer output for the X-ray machine.
This can happen if you havent set the software
parameters, including brightness, sharpness,
gain, filtering contrast ratio and integrated
frame number. Try clicking the reset button and
reset the parameters. Another possibility is that
the output serial port settings arent matching
the software serial port setting. Check and reset
both. Static Electricity on the data line could
also cause this, which can be solved by
reconnecting the ground connections. Talk To An
