Device to inspect articles with X-rays

Abstract

Abstract 1. A device for inspecting bodies (2) with X-rays, which has two X-ray sources (4, 5), a testing room (7) for the bodies (2) with a strip-shaped inlet surface (8) for the X-ray radiation and a strip-shaped receiving surface (1) following the testing room in the direction of the X-ray radiation, wherein the X-ray sources (4, 5) are spaced from one another and from the inlet surface (8) such that the radiation of each individual X-ray source (4, 5) incident upon the receiving surface (1) illuminates part of the body (2), the entire radiation from all X-ray sources illuminating all parts of the body, characterised in that the strip length of the inlet surface (8) and that of the receiving surface (1) are substantially equal, and that the X-ray sources (4, 5) are arranged approximately at the level of the two strip ends, such that the radiation of the two X-ray sources (4, 5) completely covers the nearest surface of the body (2).
