The FlatScan 27'' - A 21st century's technology The FlatScan systems represent state-of-the-art, cost effective, highly portable and, in particular, thin X-ray detection equipment. The imaging modules within the FlatScan are arranged in a single line and scanned within the enclosure to create a two-dimensional X-ray image of the package or object in question. This small physical detection area keeps cost to a minimum whilst providing potential resolution to 200µm, comparable with solid-state devices but at significantly reduced cost. The modular nature of the imaging sensors result in a physical imaging area that can be made as extensive as necessary with only limited changes to the mechanical enclosure. Currently, the FlatScan27 offers a large imaging area of 535mm by 412mm however much larger sizes are available on request - this extensive imaging area is achieved whilst maintaining a small physical depth of only 50mm. The FlatScan technology can be extended with a variety of options including materials separation, where a package is colour-coded to indicate whether components within the package are organic or inorganic in nature, and stereoscopicdisplay, where a package can be presented in 3D. Both of these options facilitate the operator when making a valued decision on the contents of suspect objects or packages. Penetration never achieved Thanks to... ● the incredibly high X-Ray dose output of the CP120 or CP160 constant potential X-Ray generator (about 30 times higher than any pulsed X-Ray source), ● the great sensibility provided by the high-technology of the FlatScan 27'', ● some extraordinary and innovative software tools ... the steel penetration capabilities achieve now up to 35mm and 40 mm with respectively the CP120 and CP160 battery powered X-Ray generators. Amazing image quality and lifetime The pixel size upgradeable from 800µm down to 200µm combined with the mini-focal spot provides an amazing image quality for security applications. Should its response accuracy decline, an X-ray sensor can be restored simply by replacing the chip where it is mounted on. This represents a great advantage compared to CMOS or Amorphous-Silicon techologies aging badly and requesting a whole device replacement after a short period of use. An incredible combination of superlatives The thinnest With only 50mm (<2'') thickness, the FlatScan 27'' is thinner than any other Image Capture Unit and especially CCD based systems. The lightest Its 6.5kg (<15lbs) make it the lightest Image Capture Unit ever launched on the market. This great advantage allows maximum portability. The largest 700mm diagonal capture (27'') is the largest active area ever offered. Moreover, this size can be increased upon request up to almost any size. The most sensitive The great sensibility of its X-Ray sensors allows nowadays the detection of suspicious goods even hidden behind 40mm steel or bombs concealed in pipes (pipebombs).
