Detailed Overview

The HPX-1 Plus is a heavy-duty, portable Computed Radiography (CR) system designed to replace traditional film in industrial NDT. It balances high-resolution defect detection with a rugged design for both lab and field environments.

Features & Benefits

• Plate Versatility: Supports the longest plates in the industry (up to 85 inches/216 cm) and can scan multiple plates simultaneously without carriers.
• High Sensitivity: Optimized for both X-ray and Gamma sources, significantly reducing shot times and extending source life.
• Imaging Quality: 16-bit linear or 12-bit log capture with a spatial resolution of 50 µm (10 lp/mm).
• Durability: Features a rigid aluminum chassis, vibration-damping feet, and a positive-pressure filtered airflow system to keep dust off the optics.

Integrated Software (INDUSTREX)

• Unified Platform: A single DICONDE-compliant interface for both CR and DR inspection.

• Efficiency Tools: Includes FilterEDGE (non-destructive image enhancement), automated reporting, and “one-click” approval workflows.
• Smart Erase: A Halogen system that adjusts erase intensity based on the radiation dose, prolonging imaging plate life.

Real-World Applications

• High-resolution Computed Radiography (CR) imaging in a lab or temporary field office environment.
• Weld inspection, delivering consistent, high-quality digital images compliant with industry standards.
• Inspection of forgings, castings, and aerospace components for internal defects.
• Use with high-energy Gamma or X-ray sources for NDT applications.
• Digital replacement for film-based radiography in pipelines, vessels, and structures.
