X-ray Line-Scan Imaging Products

The XW8800 Series Line-Scan Camera also incorporates X-Scan’s buttable detector array chips and an integrated computer interface module.

Multiple chips can be tiled together in a virtually seamless fashion for imaging applications requiring longer active detector lengths. A variety of resolutions and selection of six lengths ranging from approx 18 - 60 inches are available as standard sizes. Other custom lengths can be provided as required.The XW8800 camera system includes a camera unit, software development kit, power adapter and cabling. An optional frame-grabber which can be installed in the computer is also available.

The XU8800 Series “U” shaped Line-scan Camera utilizes the same detector chip technology and provides an ideal solution for tire inspection applications. Each camera system includes a unique camera body, software development kit, inspection software, power adapter and cabling. A recommended frame-grabber which can be installed in the computer is offered as an option.

In a typical tire inspection application, the treads and sidewalls of a rotating tire intersect the x-rays radiating from the x-ray source and directed to the

camera body. A wide selection of scintillation materials are available for converting x-ray radiation into visible light for detection by the imaging array, which optimizes both sensitivity and image resolution.

The X-Scan XR8800 and XRH8800 Series Linescan Camera is a compact integrated x-ray sensitive module that incorporates X-Scan Imaging's CMOS silicon imaging detector array chips providing wide dynamic range and solid-state reliability. Resolutions range from 50-µm to 0.8-mm pitch for the XR and 50-µm to 1.6-mm for the XRH. Chips can be butted together and mounted on a PC board to form a

variety of active detector lengths ranging from 2-12", in 2" increments. The XRH8800 model is available with detectors up to 48" in length and is designed with tungsten shielding to withstand energy levels up to 225 KV.

The close proximity of the analog-to-digital converters (ADC) to the detector chips and the use of low-voltage-differential-signal (LVDS) technology helps minimize noise and maximize bandwidth. A selection of standard hardware and a software development kit (SDK) are available for interfacing to computers. The SDK includes drivers, intuitive application programming interface (API), example source code, and standard inspection application that expedite developments of many x-ray scanning systems.

450 KeV with option for 15 MeV energy levels.High-energy accelerators and detectors such as the XH8800 are required to image large, dense objects such as metal castings and steel objects whose thickness can range from 4 to 12 inches. A clever compact design combines scintillation (for conversion of high-energy photons to visible light) and fiber optics for conveying the visible light to a shielded off-axis linear imaging photodiode array. A tungsten housing shields the diode array and camera electronics ensuring long-life reliability under extreme radiation conditions.

The X-Scan XD8800 and XDR8800 Series Line-Scan Camera offers dual energy imaging capability to differentiate materials in a variety of inspection applications by simultaneously capturing high-energy and low-energy images. The XDR8800 Series is a more compact version of the earlier XD8800 Series

imaging, 16-bit A/D conversion, low noise, high sensitivity, variable scan speed with position synchronization
