Upgrade and new applications of the automated high-tech scanning facility PAVICOM for data processing of track detectors

The high-tech automated measuring facility PAVICOM is presented, which latest upgrade enables to implement the continuous scanning of solid-state track detectors at the modern world standard level. The unique advantage of the facility is its versatility allowing for measurements and primary analysis of data from all types of track detectors processed on optical microscope. On the PAVICOM facility, search and digitization of the charged particle tracks in the detector material, their recognition and tracking, systematization and primary data processing are carried out in fully automated mode on base of the exclusive author software. The main technical characteristics achieved are given, which provide an increase in efficiency of the data processing and a significant improvement the scanning speed. Examples of using the PAVICOM facility for processing data of accelerator experiments, experiments in the field of high-energy physics, astrophysics and cosmic ray physics, and the most significant results obtained are presented.
