At the same time, since positioning for the detector module 50 is achieved by employing the adjustable positioning base 40, adjusting and positioning for the detector array in the prior art are avoided.


Next, the detector device 30 is mounting onto the annular rotation table or disk 10 of the CT inspection system 1. Here, all of fasten screws 81 are released, any one of micrometer heads 60 is initially rotated to make it retract back, and then another micrometer head is rotated to allow it to push the convex stage 46 to move forwardly.
