X-Ray Machine Plastic Collimator Rear Frame Mould and Moulding Service | Renovator Appliances Ltd

Product Overview

Renovator Appliances Ltd manufactures X-Ray Machine Plastic Collimator Rear Frames using precision Plastic Injection Moulding and custom mould manufacturing processes. The collimator rear frame is a structural plastic component positioned at the rear section of the collimator assembly, providing mounting and alignment interfaces for the collimator mechanism and connection with the X-ray tube head structure.

The rear frame is developed according to the collimator housing geometry, shutter mechanism, internal components, mounting points, locating features, cable or actuator interfaces, and tube-head mating structure. Accurate moulding of the frame profile and mounting interfaces helps maintain proper alignment between the collimator assembly and tube head.

The plastic rear frame should not be assumed to provide radiation shielding or define the X-ray beam unless specifically engineered, tested, and validated for those functions.

Industrial Applications

Manufacturing Process

1. Product Design & Development

The rear frame is developed according to the complete collimator and tube head assembly. Important parameters include the rear mating profile, mounting-hole positions, locating features, shutter mechanism clearance, actuator or linkage interfaces, internal component clearance, and structural support requirements.

The frame geometry is coordinated with the collimator mechanism and specified beam outlet. The plastic component is not assumed to provide radiation shielding unless that function is specifically engineered and validated.

2. Plastic Mould Design

The mould is designed to reproduce the rear-frame profile, mounting bosses, locating ribs, actuator interfaces, fastening features, internal clearances, and tube-head mating surfaces accurately. Parting-line location, draft angles, gate placement, cooling, shrinkage allowance, and ejection are optimized to reduce warpage and maintain dimensional accuracy.

3. Mould Manufacturing

The mould is manufactured using precision machining and mould-making processes. P20, H13, S136, or another suitable mould steel can be selected according to production volume, plastic material, surface-finish requirements, and expected mould life. Critical cavity, mounting, and mating features are inspected before production trials.

4. Injection Moulding

The selected plastic material is injection moulded under controlled processing conditions. Injection pressure, speed, melt temperature, holding pressure, and cooling time are adjusted according to the material and frame geometry. Controlled filling and cooling help maintain mounting dimensions, frame flatness, and tube-head alignment.

5. Finishing & Assembly Preparation

After moulding, gates, runners, flash, and excess material are removed. Mounting holes, locating features, actuator openings, and mating edges are checked for flash or obstruction. Visible surfaces are inspected for sink marks, flow marks, scratches, and other moulding defects.

6. Quality Inspection

Finished rear frames are inspected for overall dimensions, mounting-hole positions, boss dimensions, locating features, mating-surface geometry, wall thickness, internal clearances, flatness, warpage, surface finish, and flash. Trial assembly with the collimator and tube head verifies mechanical fit and alignment.

Raw Materials

Quality Control

Renovator Appliances Ltd applies dimensional, visual, and assembly inspections throughout rear-frame production. Key inspection areas include:

• Overall rear-frame dimensions

• Tube-head mating profile

• Mounting-hole position

• Mounting-boss dimensions

• Locating-feature accuracy

• Shutter mechanism clearance

• Actuator and linkage clearance

• Internal component clearance

• Wall thickness

• Flatness

• Warpage

• Surface finish

• Flash and burr inspection

• Sink marks and moulding defects

• Parting-line condition

• Collimator assembly fitment

• Tube-head assembly fitment

• Material compliance with specified requirements

Buyer Guide

When sourcing an X-Ray Machine Plastic Collimator Rear Frame, buyers should provide the CAD model or engineering drawing, collimator dimensions, tube-head interface dimensions, mounting-hole locations, shutter mechanism details, actuator or linkage requirements, internal clearances, plastic material specification, surface-finish requirements, and production quantity.

The rear frame should be evaluated with the complete collimator and tube head because accurate alignment depends on the mating geometry, mounting structure, shutter mechanism, and related enclosure components.

The plastic rear frame should not be treated as a radiation-shielding component unless its material, thickness, geometry, and complete assembly have been specifically engineered and validated for that purpose. Final equipment validation should follow applicable medical-device, mechanical, electrical, radiation-safety, and regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is an X-Ray Machine Plastic Collimator Rear Frame?

It is a moulded plastic structural frame positioned at the rear of an X-ray collimator to provide mounting, alignment, and tube-head interface features.

2. Does the plastic rear frame provide radiation shielding?

Not automatically. The component should not be considered radiation shielding unless it has been specifically engineered, tested, and validated for that purpose.

3. Which plastic materials can be used for the rear frame?

ABS, PC+ABS, PC, PBT, and specified flame-retardant engineering plastics can be considered according to mechanical, thermal, dimensional, electrical, and equipment requirements.

4. Can the rear frame be customized for a specific collimator?

Yes. The rear frame can be developed according to customer CAD data or engineering drawings, including mounting interfaces, shutter clearances, actuator openings, locating features, and tube-head mating geometry.

5. Can Renovator Appliances Ltd manufacture both the mould and rear frame?

Yes. Renovator Appliances Ltd can provide the complete service from component development and mould design to mould manufacturing, Plastic Injection Moulding, quality inspection, and OEM/ODM production.
