Cargo Xcanner(TM)
Solve Your Import-Export Delays

Description:

Cargo Xcanner (tm) is a linear accelerator designed as the radiation source for large item imaging. This solution offer inspection and imaging of vehicles, ship & air cargo containers, and large objects. The use of a linear accelerator provides maximum penetration, while still providing images of small objects. The Cargo Xcanner (tm) includes a highly reliable x-ray beam which results in high-resolution-high quality imaging. Furthermore, Its rugged design allows for 24 hour and seven days a week operation. Cargo Xcanner (tm) offers the complete cargo scanning solution for cost effective security scanning and inspection needs.

Specification :

Each Cargo Xcanner (tm) is custom designed per each customers inspection needs and criteria.

X-ray Operational Ranges:

X-ray energy

Fixed facility : 2 to 10 MeV

Mobile solution: 2.5 to 6MeV

X-Ray flux 50 R/m/m  to  10,000 R/m/m

The accelerator uses a cooled conversion target for maximum output stability.

Consider options and changes that will meet the needs of your imaging objectives. Many options are available, when the needs for accomodating output and detector positioning are important. For example, consider a solution where the beam power of 1000 watts would provide an x-ray output of 10,000 R/min at one meter, which also reduces to about 100 R/m/m at the detector, depending upon the configuration. The x-ray beam is highly collimated and shielded to give a thin line of x-rays at the detector. The maximum reduction collimation limits the scattered radiation and the x-ray exposure to the inspected object.

This design provides very low leakage of .001 % outside the desired main beam parameters. Actual output at the detector can be as low as required for good image quality. The x-ray beam is collimated using Xcatter (Tm) which is a unique beam control system. This low leakage approach improves safety and reduces detector noise thereby improving image quality.

Additional specific design changes to accomodate imaging requirements are welcome and can be negotiated.

Warranty:

  • Two year parts and labor for the complete system.

Delivery:

  • 4 to 12 months depending upon system configurations , ARO (after receipt of order) or lease approval
