<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the need to improve work effectiveness and safety in Non-Destructive Test (NDT) Radiography inspections on the Beechcraft Hawker 900XP aircraft at the Balai Besar Kalibrasi Fasilitas Penerbangan (BBKFP). Field observations showed that the Huatec XXG-3005 X-Ray device lacked a stable and safe stand, requiring manual placement using a sling crane or temporary supports. This condition caused potential accidents, low X-ray beam accuracy toward the aircraft wings, and delays in NDT operations. Therefore, this study designed an X-Ray stand compatible with the Crane Master FC2000 to support and stabilize the device accurately and safely according to NDT standards such as Source to Film Distance (SFD). The research used the systematic VDI 2221 approach, including task clarification, concept design, form design, and detailed design. The selected design features a 360° circular rail system, a semi-cylindrical load holder with iron straps, and pin locks at eight rotation points. Technical analysis using SolidWorks and manual calculations with ASTM 500B material showed the structure can withstand a 1648 N static load with a safety factor of 4, below the allowable stress limit. Functional testing at BBKFP confirmed the stand maintains X-Ray stability and enhances safety. The design meets technical and safety standards, improving efficiency in NDT Radiography operations at AMO 145 BBKFP.]]>
