For Military Use per USAF Specification in Aerospace, Aviation, and Defense Industries Requiring Portable, Precise Radiography Units

Overview

The SPX160-NX is the Military version of the SPX160. It is the ideal portable x-ray unit for NDT imaging in the aerospace and defense industry where precision is a priority.  The SPX160-NX adheres to USAF Specifications and is the only Military version available in the SPX Series. It has:

  • a focal spot size of 1.5mm2
  • high radiation output for lower kV per exposure
  • line or portable generator powered capability

Features

  • Constant Potential Output, 20kV to 160kV, 0.1mA to 5mA
  • Excellent Stability and Regulation
  • Power Factor Corrected AC Input Circuitry
  • RS-232 Interface
  • 100% Duty Cycle, Air Cooled, End Grounded Anode
  • Unparalleled Resolution Imaging
  • Warm up/Seasoning of the X-Ray Tube
  • Penetration of up to 25.4mm Fe
  • Quick 1/4 Turn Connectors
  • Fail Safe Light Circuitry Inhibits X-Rays if Light Fails

GUI Control Software for the SPX160-NX

GUI is specifically designed for controlling SPX160-NX systems. As an alternative to the front panel control, the GUI will allow the user to control all necessary functions of the system from a user-friendly windows based menu. Additionally the GUI can be used as a diagnostic tool when the system is controlled via the front panel. Main features are:

  • Warm-up/seasoning of the X-Ray tube
  • Timed or continuous exposure modes
  • Fault and status monitor
