BP SMARTSCAN - System Description

BP SMARTSCAN System

The BP SMARTSCAN water tank consists of :

• A Perspex water tank with alignment markers on the 4 walls and bottom, maximum water level marker
  on XZ-walls (200 L) and slanted bottom for easy draining.
• A three-dimensional high precision servo mechanism, which includes:
  
  • A leveling frame (1) for leveling the frame to the water surface. It has the following major parts:
  • Four leveling and locking screws (1a).
  • Four leveling pins (1b).
  • Motors of the three dimensions are combined with a contactless, absolute linear way sensor, according to the magnetostrictive measurement principle, providing real-time feedback of the current position (1c).
  • X, Y- and Z-axis rulers printed on the rails so that the distance readings on the hand control can
    be confirmed (1d).

          Note: The printed rulers provide indicative values only. There is an inherent tolerance of ± 0.3 mm                        due to the production process.

•  Connection box (2) connecting sensors, electronics, and hand control.
• A common control unit with integrated two-channel electrometer (CCU).
• A handle with integrated cable protection box (3).
• Detector holder on the horizontal X-rail (4). Various detectors can be mounted. The field detector can be positioned in three dimensions for measuring both horizontal and vertical beams.
• Servo coordinate system indication (5).
• Quick coupling for water filling / draining (6).

BP SMARTSCAN phantom

The BP SMARTSCAN system can be combined with the following options to meet individual requirements:

• A TMR probe can be purchased and installed in the water tank.
• A manually operated or electrical lift table.
• A water reservoir with unidirectional or bidirectional pump.
• Detectors (recommended: field detector: CC04; reference detector: CC13 or Stealth Chamber) and cables.

Connectors on the Water Phantom

The connection box contains connectors for the three motors/position sensors, the drive control cable, the remote control, water reservoir, lift table, TMR probe, water temperature sensor and service socket.

CAUTION: DO NOT DIRECTLY IRRADIATE THE CONNECTION BOX
A warning label on the top of the box also reminds that do not directly irradiate the connection box. It may erase the pre-install information in the electronics.
