These fine systems provide high performance with high resolution (approx 4 lp/mm) and excellent dynamic range (14 Bit images). With our systems you can take an unlimited amount of images and the image appears digitally within a few seconds of the X-Ray shot. 1. The Flat-fox-17 active area size is 28.4 x 40.6 cm or ~12" x 16". The Flat fox-17 Panel has a 14 Bit dynamic range imager (16,384 grey levels) that provides superb images. 2. The fox-Rayzor active area size is 48 cm2 or ~ 9" x 9". The foX-Rayzor is categorically the thinnest digital imager ever produced – it is only 13 mm thick and is thinner than a film cassette. The fox-Rayzor has 14 Bit dynamic range imager (16,384 grey levels) that provides superb images. Both systems are completely interchangeable, the main difference is the imager's active area and the thickness of the imager. These unique equipment packages are the only truly portable flat panel lightweight systems in the market that can also be used as stationary systems and can be connected to many existing continuous industrial X-ray sources and isotopes. Vidisco's portable systems provide efficient inspection anywhere, anytime. When saying portable, we mean that the entire system including the pulsed X-ray source is contained in one case which is easily carried by a single operator and can be used anywhere in the field, without the need for an AC power supply as our systems are fully battery operated. All our systems are extremely safe due to very low exposure times and fast set-up. | |
