Is your X-ray system ready for tomorrow’s screening challenges?

These systems guarantee continuous and reliable performance, preventing costly production stops caused by unscheduled maintenance and they ensure accuracy, speed, and X-ray dose-stability, which is critical for real-time imaging and measurement.

A growing number of items that require screening means that security screening systems need to be increasingly efficient. X-ray security inspection systems operating at logistics centers, airports, ports, and institutions help ensure greater public safety and security. The ION system is the perfect solution, identifying unwanted elements and illegal goods in vehicles, luggage, and containers.

ION systems are flexible and scalable, perfect for tailoring specifications, and creating unique systems that make a world of difference to our customers.

A compact system with a significant impact

The compact design of the ION series allows for flexible system installation. The X-ray tube and high voltage generator are integrated into one compact module, minimizing the required shielding, and the industrial control module can be mounted wherever it is convenient.

The air-cooled design eliminates the need for external coolers, which reduces the overall system footprint. Mounting points for collimators and positioning guides make the ION modules easy to align in any existing system geometry. The absence of high voltage connections and cables eliminates the need for regular onsite maintenance.

The system design is tailored to deliver accuracy and reproducibility. Dose-stability is ensured through temperature compensation and high-resolution mA adjustment, which maximizes the dose output even in harsh and challenging environmental conditions. The fan beam ensures optimum coverage of the detectors, and the hot standby functionality enables full ramp-up from an idle state to maximum kV / mA within one second, contributing to a prolonged filament lifetime and eliminating the need for external mechanical shutters.

The ION series’ flexible system architecture supports seamless connectivity to advanced functionality through RS232, Ethernet, and USB.
