P-XIS Portable X-Ray Inspection System

P-XIS Has a wide range of applications in customs law enforcement, airport security and other areas.

The P-XIS X-Ray system is easy to use, reliable and completely safe to operate. It provides excellent detecting capabilities with no harmful effects on users or service personnel.

Applications

         
Dual Energy Option - explosives inside metal case             Determining authenticity of artwork

         
Geometric magnification with microfocus generator          Inspection of suspicious objects for explosives

P-XIS is a unique portable X-Ray inspection system with a micro-focus constant potential X-Ray radiation source. The voltage can be adjusted from 20 -150 kV, which allows for the inspection of objects made from different materials with varying densities and thicknesses, (20-70 kV is the optimal voltage for checking mail and thin objects, while 100-150 kV works best for baggage and thicker objects. One of the advantages of this system is its ability to inspect areas of an object in fine detail using geometric magnification (up to 40 times).

The X-Ray unit has a 40 micron focal spot rather than a 1mm spot used in standard systems. The resolution power in attains an unprecedented value – 25 microns of copper wire equivalent.       The distance between an object and the X-Ray source is minimal, down to a few centimetres or millimetres when using geometric magnification.

The images are reproduced on a display screen of the control unit in a positive / negative form, in pseudo colours, or with enhanced contrast. For better identification you can zoom in on any of the nine areas of the screen. Obtained images can be stored in the control unit's memory for further investigation or as a reference (up to 30,000 pictures). Stored images can also be edited for enhanced exposure and easier identification of the objects.

If necessary, obtained pictures can be rewritten from the D:\images directory of a "BU-4" or " BU-S" control unit to a USB disk. Universal power supply (85 - 240 VAC SO/60Hz) allows for easy operation anywhere in the world. The P-XIS system is delivered in two handy carrying bags or in one case.

New converters forP-XIS
PR-2432 and PPR-4664 are portable X-ray converters designed for X-ray non-destructive inspection of baggage, mail, office environment, furniture, building constructions, etc. indoor or outdoor. They can be integrated into the P-XIS inspection system as well as into other X-ray systems. PR-2432 and PPR-4664 converters effectively detect explosive devices and their components, hidden video/audio recording devices etc. These converters can be used for metal framework flaw detection in field conditions and also for inspection of large size objects which, due to their construction profile, can not be scanned by tionary X-ray systems. 
All converters have built-in rechargeable battery and can work while being charged. The control command and data transmission are carried out by Wi- Fi or cable.
The main feature of the PPR-4664 converter is its scanning linear detector.
