LINATRON™ XP

Product catalog summary

Overview
The Varex Linatron XP is a mobile, high-energy X-ray imaging system designed for security and non-destructive testing (NDT) applications. It features an X-band, pulsed X-ray source and a modulator housed in separate transportable enclosures. The system is available in air-cooled or liquid-cooled configurations, with adjustable beam centerline positions and various collimation options.

Specifications

X-ray Performance: The system offers two configurations: 0.95 MeV (liquid & air-cooled) with a focal spot of < 1.5 mm and output of 3 R/min, and 1.3 MeV (liquid-cooled) with a focal spot of < 2 mm and output of 12 R/min. The nominal HVL is 1.4 cm steel, with a pulse rate of 30-300 pps.
Operating Conditions: Air-cooled systems operate between 0° to +50°C, while liquid-cooled systems operate from -20° to +50°C, with humidity < 90% NC.
Power and Dimensions: The system requires 230 VAC, 2.5 KVA power. The X-ray head measures 84.5 x 49.5 x 40.9 cm and weighs 140 lbs, while the modulator is 81.3 x 49.35 x 40.9 cm and weighs 102 lbs. Setup and warm-up times are approximately 10 minutes each.

Integration and Quality Standards
The Linatron XP can be integrated with the Varex 2530 HE aSI flat panel detector for high-resolution imaging. It complies with CE and FCC Part 15 Class A standards, with pending ETL marking. The quality management system is ISO 9001:2008 certified.

Applications
The system is suitable for pipe inspection, perimeter security, vehicle inspection, infrastructure, and military applications. It can be used with digital imaging or computed radiography and film.

Performance Comparison
Data shows that the 1.3 MeV XP unit provides image quality equal to or better than cobalt sources through a 3” steel plate, with a speed-up factor ranging from 3 to 60 depending on cobalt size.

Catalog excerpts

LINATRON™ XP FOR SECURITY & INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS The Varex Linatron XP consists of an X-band, pulsed X-ray source and Modulator housed in separate transportable enclosures. Designed for mobility, the XP brings practical high-energy imaging capability to security and NDT field applications. It is available in either air-cooled or liquid-cooled configurations. For additional flexibility, the beam centerline can be configured in one of three positions to optimize the primary beam path for a given application. Several cone, fan, and slit beam collimation options are also available. www.vareximaging.com
