Catalog excerpts

The Linatron®-M™ is a modular system. The control console, modulator, and RF unit are common to all model configurations. Only the X-ray head changes to match the application. The Linatron - M is designed to fit mobile, gantry, and fixed installations. 1.0 Standard Equipment and Services 1.1 Control Console The standard control console is a touch screen display system. X-ray Head and RF Unit 2.1 X-ray Beam Quality 1.2 X-ray Head Low Leakage (0.1%) 1.3 Modulator/Power Distribution Cabinet External signal interface. 1.4 Temperature Control Unit (TCU) The TCU is used to keep the system components at a nominal 30°C (86°F). It is available in high voltage and low voltage configurations for environments ranging from -40/+55°C (-40/131°F), condensing. 1.5 Standard Spare Parts Kit The standard spare parts kit includes over 40 items such as PC boards and individual components. 1.6 Interconnecting Cables (X-ray Head to Modulator. Modulator to Console) and Hoses (TCU to X-ray Head) Included. Lengths up to 100 meters. 1.7 Manuals Operator manuals are included in English. 1.8 Installation Supervision and Startup * Radiographic Optimization available. 1.9 Varex’s Standard Warranty The X-ray beam quality is derived from a compilation of broad beam data measurements. 2.2 X-ray Beam Dose Rate* (10 cm x 10 cm field) the maximum continuous dose rate at 1 meter is listed in Table 1 (without flattening filter) at beam centerline. *Dose rate is reduced with flattening filter. 2.3 X-ray Field Size A 30° cone or 22.5° square defines the field. Also see section 4.1. Custom collimators are available upon request. 2.4 X-ray Beam Focal Spot Size The focal spot size does not exceed 2.0 mm in diameter. 2.5 X-ray Beam Symmetry The beam asymmetry does not exceed 5% at ±7.5° off the central axis for all energies.

2.6 Standard Leakage Radiation Outdoor Requirement The leakage radiation is specified along the horizontal axis at 1 meter from the beam centerline at angles 60° and greater, outside the primary beam. The values in Table 2 are a fraction of the primary beam central axis dose rate measured with a 10 cm x 10 cm collimator. Leakage is taken with the primary beam completely blocked. See section 4.2 for lower leakage options. The available temperature range for X-ray head / RF unit is dependent on the TCU and thermal insulation blanket. The range can be absorbed as -40/+55°C (-40/131°F),...

4.4 Beam Flattener This option provides a more uniform beam intensity over the exposed region at 3.0 MeV. Use of a flattening filter will reduce dose rate. The dual energy specifications are given in Table 3. Select two operating energies: 4.6 Laser Alignment System An internally mounted single spot laser is available to align the X-ray beam to an object being radiographed. ULLP shielding option is unavailable with the laser option. Laser is 533 nm, Class II, 0.5 mW. 4.7 Variable External Collimator The dependent jaw variable external collimator mounts to the front of the X-ray head. The...
