Imaging Industry

Imaging IndustryIndustrial Imaging Soultions provides NDT solutions, helping our customers make the transition to digitalimaging. With over fifteen years of experience, our Level III Engineers have been successfully convertinginspection processes to digital inspection within a diverse base of customers and industries,IIS partners with Kline Technical Consulting LLC on x-ray systems, notably port and container scanningsystems.IIS is the largest shareholder (and the only corporate shareholder) of KTC. KTC and IIS from timeto time use their KTC Global entity for special work. KTC provided early funding for IIS and became a keyshareholder of IIS. KTC and IIS each were reorganized on the split of HYTEC (which KTC co-owned);HYTEC divided into a medical/dental scanning technology unit (now owned by 3M) and the defense andenergy unit work was taken up by Melton/IIS and Kline/KTC which have continued that work.Stand Alone X-Ray Systems Industrial Imaging Solutions is proud to provide product solutions manufactured in the United States. X-ray controllers, generators and heat exchangers are not only assembled and tested in the USA but the majority of the components come from the USA as well. This is a critical component in meeting immediate customer needs and gaining quick access to equipment and providing support in service and repair situations. The Polaris system is availed in 160 kV and 225 kV unipolar configurations and 320 kV and 450 kV bipolar configurations. If you do not know what size tube youneed one of our Level III Engineers will help you match the focal spot and power requirements to yourapplication. For a list of our most popular x-ray tubes configurations see the tube selection chart in thereplacement tube section.

Flat Panel Detectors (DR)Flat Panel Detectors for Digital Radiography (DR) have gained popularity in the last few years. Flat Paneldetectors are currently used on a range of systems from high energy systems (25 MeV) to microfocus (submicron imaging systems). Current technological developments have resulted from the adoption of FlatPanel technology in advanced specialized medical equipment such as Accuray'sCyberKnife TreatmentPlanning system and Varian's advanced 3D imaging and radiation therapy equipment.Flat Panel Detectors are slowly replacing image intensifiers in today industrial and medical equipment.Flat Panel detector offer several advantage over image intensifiers including:  Lower signal to noise ratio.  No pin cushion distortion.  Adjustable Frame rate.  Scintillator optimization.  Wider dynamic range.  Improved spatial resolutionProper scintillator selection is very important for optimal Flat Panel performance. Scintillator's canimprove the gain, photon capture at high kV (MeV range), spatial resolution. There is also specializedscintillator for neutron radiography. Contact one of our level III engineers to discuss your scintillatorneeds. IIS will work with you to provide a customized Flat Panel detector for optimal high energy, neutronor modified system that meets your specific needs.Portable X-Ray Tubes and ControllersWe carry a wide range of portable x-ray tube/Generators for the NDT, Security and EOD market. Our rangeof portables includes: hand held 120 and 160 kV battery operated mini focus units, 180 to 360 kVconventional portables, pulsed battery operate portables ranging from 130 kV to 270 kV, and portable 1MeV accelerators.The light-weight hand-held pulsed portable units are commonly used by the Emergency OrdnanceDisposal (EOD) teams and law enforcement professionals. Pulsed sources work best with conventional filmand CR technology.Constant potential hand held portables provide superior images where the application requires the sourcebe small and portable. These units work well with a wide range of digital and real time imaging technology.They can also be equipped with a wide range of accessories including crawlers and lazier pointers.

Linear Diode ArraysLinear Diode Arrays (LDA) is one of the older and most widely used digital images. LDA's are utilizing ascintillator directly coupled to a photo diode to convert the x-rays into an electronic signal. This directcouple configuration allow for collimating of each pixel. The columniation of each pixel allows for thickerscintillator without getting scintillator blur. With thicker scintillator these imagers become ideal for highspeed imaging and low dose applications. This is why LDA images are commonly used in conveyer fedimaging systems. The collimated pixels with thick scintillator are the image of choice for CT and Cargoinspection system. as the provide superior signal to noise ratio.LDA's offer the following advantages of other imagers: High speed imaging, No blur at high speed Significantly higher frame rates that allow for higher speed part manipulation Inherent noise rejection, superior signal to noise ratio High dynamic range (larger denser parts) Custom sizes and resolutions are cost effectively built. Thicker scintillators for high energy applications.Equipment Repair and Support SolutionsOur customer support staff is committed to making your life easier.
