Optimal Screening and Innovative Products

“Astrophysics’ engineering team gained industry recognition for the strength of its technology and

continues to gain a valued reputation for innovative development and design.”

“We are creating the tools to a

more secure tomorrow”

6 Color Imaging

Astrophysics 6 Color Imaging outperforms competitors’ 3 colors,

heightening object discrimination for faster

throughput

6 Color Imaging

VI Series

VI Series • High performance x-ray systems in its class.

• Upgraded frame with stainless steel accents.

• Service friendly paneling.

• High definition images with unparalleled clarity and penetration.

• Advanced threat detection.

• User friendly interface.

VI 7 The VI7 features a display that rotates through the 7 views, each showing the same bag from a distinctive, unique vantage point.

It therefore enhances the operator’s 3D awareness and overall depth perception. Items that may have been hidden in one view become clearly visible in another. Heightens operator’s image interpretation and object recognition while identifying potential security threats. Increase throughput and minimize the need for secondary

search.

VI7 “Surround View” Operation

A single x-ray source. 7 detector arrays distribute a beam at a uniform angle to produce a series of 7 high quality, distinctive images.

The Next Generation In X-Ray Detection

High Energy X-Ray Portal Scanner (HEXIS)

What is High-Energy Cargo Screening?

• Inspection of shipping containers in sea ports • Inspection of trucks crossing borders • Inspection of trucks entering critical facilities such

as airports • Inspection of cargo trains • All using X-Rays with energies between 4 and 9

MeV – Necessary for penetrations of more than 300+ mm steel

64

What is a Portal Scanner?

• A portal scanner allows the rapid inspection of the contents of large trucks.

• It only examines the cargo area so the driver remains inside the truck and drives it through the scanner

• Because the truck cab is not inspected it is best suited to container ports and borders.

Portal Advantages

• The highest throughput of any system type – 150 trucks per hour possible

• Minimum inconvenience to drivers – Reduces delay – Drivers do not have to leave the comfort of their cabs

in bad weather

• The most reliable system type • Lowest power consumption • Lowest cost • Good performance – 300 mm

Scan Sequence Detector Array

X-Ray Source

Truck sensor Entry Barrier

System ready to scan truck. Barrier is open. X-Rays are off.


X-Ray Source


Truck is entering scanner. Traffic light is red to prevent any waiting truck from following. X-Rays are off.


X-Ray Source


Truck has reached the truck sensors. Barrier has closed. X-Rays have just turned on with the driver well past the X-ray beam


X-Ray Source


Scan is in progress with X-Rays on. Next truck is held at the entrance.


X-Ray Source


Truck rear has just passed through the X-Ray beam so they are now switched off.


X-Ray Source


Scanned truck is leaving the scanner. The gate has been opened so the scan of the next truck can begin.

“Astrophysics Research and Development keeps working hard to continuously come up with

innovative X-ray products and latest

imaging software to make

our world more secure.”
