Durable non-glass DR detector for NDT – another Carestream NDT technology breakthrough

11/12/2019

Carestream’s non- destructive testing (NDT) business has achieved another technology breakthrough in digital radiography (DR) for NDT: the new next-generation HPX-DR non-glass detector, which was specifically built for durability and reliability in harsh environments.

“We are continuously out in the field working side-by-side with customers to learn how we can leverage technology and provide products that address their unique needs. One of the biggest challenges our customers experienced with current DR technology was that the glass used in the panel was too fragile and could break in difficult NDT applications, causing downtime,” said Marty Graen, Worldwide General Manager, Carestream NDT. “Now users do not have to worry about breaking glass, downtime and the associated expenses.”

Carestream is introducing this innovative new technology to the NDT industry with its latest DR detector, which features greater durability, high-resolution image quality, easy integration and best-in-class service and support.

The HPX-DR non-glass DR detector works with the award-winning Industrex Digital Viewing Software, which operates seamlessly across all Carestream NDT computed radiography (CR) and DR modalities and can be easily added to a customer’s toolset of imaging equipment without the need for new software to be purchased and learnt.

“We are so confident in the design and reliability of our new durable detector that we are offering a two-year warranty,” added Marty. “In the US and Canada, Carestream is also offering a replacement loaner if the detector does require service during the warranty period, which is a unique option in the industry. This benefit increases customer uptime and eliminates having to purchase back-up detectors.”
