The invention relates to a device for non-destructively material testing objects, in particular rims and wheels (), comprising an X-ray inspection cabin () which contains an X-ray inspection device () for X-raying the objects and comprising conveyor devices () for conveying objects through at least one lock () into the X-ray inspection cabin () and out of the X-ray inspection cabin (). The aim of the invention is to prevent a leakage of X-rays into the surrounding area through the lock () and to reduce the quantity of lead needed for shielding and optionally the space requirement of the device (). According to the invention this is achieved in that the lock () comprises a hollow cylinder (), the circumferential wall () of which has a through-opening () for the objects and which can be rotated about a horizontal rotation axis in order to position the through-opening () on a lock () side facing away from the X-ray inspection cabin () or the lock () side facing the X-ray inspection cabin () in an alternating manner.
