Automation is the top level module that will aggregate all others such as XRRC (X-Ray Remote Control), ARC (Axis Remote Control), DRC (Diaphragm Remote Control), Etc. into one window and offer transparent access to all controllers on only one screen.

Automation also includes a teaching mode which will record sequence of motions, x-ray settings, time of exposure, etc. Later the recorded sequences can be played back providing an automated inspection of components.

The optional database add-on will use a SQL database to store sequences and index the images metadata (DICONDE only). The same database can then be used from IPS to quickly retrieve images using a search engine.

• Top level module
• Teaching mode
• Control all other modules such as XRRC, ARC, DRC, etc.
• One window for all controllers
• Database link available
• Teaching mode allowing to record sequences to fully automate the inspection process
• Controls all of the equipment from the installation
• Easy retrieve of previously recorded sequences
• Diconde metadata friendly

Drives detectors such as flat panel, digital camera or image intensifier. Showing images in real time, the user can take snapshot or record videos whenever he’s satisfied and it will be automatically stored on the selected disk. This module can support Diconde, Dicom, Tiff, Jpeg, Png, Bmp and raw images.

The Acquisition module works as a standalone module or can be integrated with IPS and Automation. It can also be integrated with an external application using a simple communication protocol based on «sockets».

• Automatic contrast adjustment on the entire image or on a ROI
• Grey profile
• Rotation & mirrors
• Part of the « Baltoscope Inspection Suite »
• Live image
• Take snapshot and record videos
• Linked to IPS012 (when available)
• DICOM & DICONDE compliant
• Metadata customizable

ADR is a software module that has been created to finalize the Automation process by identifying automatically the parts that have default or not to then inform the end user which one is « accepted », « rejected », « to be verified », etc.
This will lead to a much faster flow of inspection as very strict rules will have been defined within the software, reducing mistakes and costs but increase reliability.

Depending on the part that will be inspected, a lot of different criteria can be looked for in terms of default and be recognized by the ADR module such as: Dimensions, foreign substances/objects, position/location, quantity, distance/gap, nature/density, angles, profiles/deviations, and much more.

The Acquisition module works as a standalone module or can be integrated with IPS and Automation. It can also be integrated with an external application using a simple communication protocol based on «sockets».

• Different criteria of recognition such as:
  • Dimensions
  • Foreign substances/objects
  • Position

X-Ray Remote Control (XRRC) is the software module that connects to the X-ray source using a serial link and is able to control all operations remotely, directly on the computer screen. Allowing you to interact with the mA, kV, start and stop the X-ray from running, view of the tube characteristics and state, start and stop preheating, choose tube focus, load exposure charts, etc.

All Balteau generators are supported by X-Ray Remote Control, contact us for more details on other brands. The LS1 from Baltograph Series has also uses the X-Ray Remote Control Software making it a friendly environment for those who uses Balteau equipment on both platform.

IPS Report is an add-on modules to IPS012 allowing the end-user to start reporting the processing of the image automatically. The report is completely customizable regarding the needs of every industries. All metadatas from the image will be collected and added into the report, industry regulations, NDT standards, filters, measurements, and much more.

• Part of the Inspection Suite
• Add-on module to IPS012
• Metadata of the images
• Completely customizable to the industry needs

RIO is a stand alone module designed to organize, recall and display Reference Images such as ASTM.

Radiographers can now load reference images within their Image Processing Software and compare with their own radiographies using all available tools. Balteau NDT has also developed an ASTM extractor that will extract all selected images from the ASTM dvd to store in your database and use with RIO module.

RIO also allows to create a database of your own images, making your own references.

• Part of the Inspection Suite
• Stand alone module
• Images extractor
• Creations of references images libraries
• Etc.

The Axis Remote Control (ARC) module will control the motors of the equipment, such as manipulators, doors, etc.  It works with the latest technology and allows up to 9 axes.

ARC stands for Axis Remote Control and provides a uniform user interface whatever the motors are. It makes use of the motor with position encoder to offer excellent precision and repeatability.

ARC works as a stand alone module and/or can be integrated with Automation. It can also be integrated with an external application using a simple communication protocol based on "sockets".

• Part of the Inspection Suite
• Stand alone module
• Can be intergrated with Automation
