Standard dosimetric installations for gamma radiation ensure remote and manual positioning of instruments under verification on movable platform in collimated beam of ionizing radiation. Remote positioning of movable platform and automatic feed of any of five gamma sources are performed from operator workplace, which can be remote up to 30 meters from exposure chamber. Movable platform positioning coordinates and information on source location are displayed in bench control panel and irradiator control panel. Also, position of movable platform can be taken from reading scale located along the bench base. Movable platform travel speeds using manual control are 26 cm/s; 3,5 cm/s; 6 mm/s; 0,8 mm/s. Movable platform with bearing supports travels on cylindrical guides secured at the base. The movable platform holds working table with hoisting units for vertical movement, and horizontal guides allow table travel across radiation beam axis. The calibration bench is equipped with video surveillance system for taking readings from instruments under verification. Standard dosimetric installations include laser-based devices that allow to snap detector center to radiation beam axis and source center using coordinate of movable platform travel.
