Product introduction

The robust mechanics combined with the compact design makes it suitable for laboratory use as well as for industrial x-ray applications. It allows the user to take high quality digital x-ray images with a high resolution and wide dynamic range simultaneously.

The DXC 3000 cabinet eliminates  the need for film processing. No overhead costs for film, chemicals and waste disposal. No costs for additional equipment like film processor or light box.

Acquired images are instantly displayed on the connected PC, where the integrated software provides user-friendly functions to evaluate, process and store the images.

Through the company`s intranet or the internet, the digital x-ray images can be tranferred quickly and easily in different areas of expertise.

Priciple of x-ray image acquisition with the DXC 3000

The digital x-ray cabinet is equipped with the digital linear x-ray camera from NTB. The outstanding performance of the NTB digital linear x-ray camera is achieved by the use of the unique and revolutionary x-ray sensitive detector developed by NTB. A scanning operation, in which either the specimen (2) or the camera (1) plus the x-ray source (4) are progressively advanced, generates a 2D image line by line (object length determines the scanning distance). During the scanning process ultra fast A/D converters digitize the detector signals and generate a 12 bit (= 4096 grey levels) image on the screen (5).

Compared to regular film based x-ray systems, NTB's digital x-ray cameras have a significant higher dynamic range. Where an x-ray film is totally over- or underexposed, the SEZ cameras still deliver high quality x-ray images. Consequently, objects composed of various materials or objects with large thickness differences may be scanned in one single process. The x-ray images on the screen can directly be zoomed and enhanced for detailed evaluations or measurements. The scanned images can be archived, incorporated into reports or electronically transmitted.
