Always at the forefront of innovation, HTDS expands its product offering in Optoelectronics and announces the commercialization of X-ray cameras for non-destructive testing (NDT).
The objective of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is to detect differences or discontinuities in materials, assemblies or components, in a non-intrusive manner and without destroying the nature of the sample being tested.
Standard X-ray imaging provides a black-and-white image of defects, impurities, or cracks only if the resolution and signal on the noise are adequate.
For more than 20 years, the HTDS Group has been offering RX product inspection machines in the field of safety and food through its Safety and Quality Control divisions.
When it comes to Optoelectronics, HTDS is not to be outdone. Thus, with a sharp expertise and recognized know-how, HTDS is now consolidating its experience in the field of X-rays and announces the marketing of WidePIX-MPX3 very low noise cameras designed for non-destructive testing (NDT).
In the Optoelectronic field, the WidePix-MPX3 X-Ray cameras developed by Advacam have the particularity of being able to offer spectral X-ray imaging based on photon counting and provide additional information as well as superior contrast and high spatial resolution.
The spectral information collected on the materials by the WidePIX-MPX3 X-Ray cameras will be used both to discriminate different materials, to identify the materials of interest, or to calculate their quantity in the sample. For example (see image 2 opposite), the WidePIX-MPX3 X-Ray cameras allow the welding control of iron plates 8 cm thick in 3 minutes and with a spatial resolution of 100μm.
Available in different versions, the WidePIX-MPX3 X-Ray cameras feature high-tech technology and can be widely used in many industrial fields, including aeronautics and automotive to control composite parts.
Two models with advantageous features to cover all needs
Available in two models, WidePix 2 and WidePix L2, the WidePix -MPX3 X-Ray cameras will cover different NDT needs and offer particularly advantageous technical characteristics:
• Each pixel of the cameras has two built-in 12-bit digital meters and two energy discrimination thresholds. Both counters can be joined to a single 24-bit counter for improved dynamic range.
• Si or CdTe edgeless sensor panels: Edgeless sensor technology allows all slabs to be placed tightly together on all sides Thus, the entire imaging area of the camera is fully sensitive to radiation (no dead zones between sensors).
• Robust design to address industrial users.
• High-speed integrated timed integration (TDI) for scanning in industrial applications, advantageous for continuous scanning.
• The WidePix L 2 camera offers two RJ-45 Ethernet connections for high frame rates of up to 170fps and scan speeds of up to 1.5 m/s.
• Available with Si and CdTe sensors for imaging soft and hard X-ray spectra.
