What's this?

This device is a mobile X-ray detector, similar to the stationary units used in dental clinics, for example, but portable. It captures, records, and transmits (wired or wirelessly) the X-ray exposure of an object positioned between the X-ray emitter and the detector. This type of device is primarily used in industrial non-destructive testing, such as inspecting welds on pipelines in remote areas or directly on the production floor.

Initially, the client needed only a fully functional demonstration unit (detector + accumulators) for market research and discussions with potential customers, such as factories and maintenance organizations. Later, as the project evolved, client decided to create a mains-powered configuration by replacing the "true" accumulators with "fake" ones — one acting as a circuit bridge and the other enabling power input. Eventually, he also decided to develop a dedicated battery charging base.

My role was to take the electronic components (X-ray receiver 1515DXT, computer WAFER-BT-i1, circuit boards, and an off-the-shelf battery 38120S), which together form the functional electronics, and "package" them into a market-ready product by developing both the internal structure and the external enclosure (since one defines the other, this distinction is somewhat arbitrary).
