X-Ray Systems

National X-Ray offers a wide range of digital X-ray systems and subsystems, either as standard products or as turnkey solutions to applications across many industries. These systems span energies from low kV's up to several MeV's, with source, handling, detector and image processing configured specifically to suit inspection requirements.

Standard digital or real-time radiography will satisfy most needs by offering a quick method of inspecting components, locating and measuring defects by compressing three-dimensional structures into a two-dimensional plane. However, if there is an additional requirement to assess volumetric information of materials and to provide pictorial views of internal and external structures, Computed Tomography offers a more penetrating solution. The Computed Tomography package is a high performance, cost-effective 2D/3D system based on the acclaimed LETI 'Evegen' software and algorithms. {Read More}

Most basic Real-time x-ray inspection systems use Analog, NTSC-based (TV) cameras. This allows the flexibility to use standard analog displays along with associated annotation and recording devices such as thermal printers and VHS-based video recorders. Since basic x-ray detectors – like image intensifiers – have significantly higher resolution (in the 7–8 line pairs per millimeter {lp/mm}), the resulting displayed image is limited to the standards associated with the NTSC standard, i.e. 525 lines of Vertical resolution (NTSC standard) and perhaps 600–800 lines of Horizontal resolution, depending on the type of camera and optics used. The accepted displayed image intensifier resolution in these analog systems is only 1.2–1.5 line pairs per millimeter (lp/mm) horizontally and perhaps 0.6–0.8 lp/mm vertically. For some applications this may be sufficient, but today's higher standards in manufacturing technology demand greater performance. We can deliver that performance. {Read More}

Production Equipment

Advanced imaging system that allows for reusing of imaging cassettes that are scanned after image is down-loaded and ready for re-use of cassettes.

This system is compact and can be operated simply by mouse. The 20-inch horizontal monitor can display single images or can be split into two, three or four sections. This enables the user to make faster inspection decisions, with more confidence and greater efficiency.

Crisp, sharp images are displayed on the 20-inch easy-on-the-eye high resolution CRT monitor. Newly employed non-interlace scanning technology has all but eliminated flicker — assuring long comfortable viewing sessions. Images stored on hard disk or DVD-RAM archive can be brought up to display in seconds, and up to four windows can be programmed on the single CRT.

The system stores incoming images on the built-in hard disk for fast retrieval of individual images. Images from an FCR reader are written to the hard disk in background, allowing uninterrupted processing of currently displayed data. This allows the user to manipulate images as desired while the newest images become available. In addition, images may be stored on resident DVD RAM Archive. {Read More}

Real-Time Inspection

Commonly referred to as X-Ray Image Line Cameras. Several resolution (micron pitches) versions are available to meet your specific detection requirements. Well-suited for applications requiring scanning-oriented imaging. National X-Ray has successfully integrated this product design into number of applications. We'd welcome your inquiry to determine if an LDA is appropriate for your application. {Read More}

Digital Imaging

These imaging devices are design to gather up an image, where one might have previously used film, but want high resolution and the capability of capturing the images digitally.

The Amorphous Silicon Panel is a real-time and radiographic digital X-Ray imager incorporating a large-area sensor array with a gadolinium oxysulfide or cesium iodide Scintillator. These panels are an excellent replacement for the traditional film user, who need to store images in a digital format. The panel will acquire images at usual video frame rates over a wide range of dose. A high kV option is available for energy ranges exceeding 450 kVp. The panel is incorporated into a complete X-Ray system by our qualified equipment engineers. {Read More}
