Introducing an innovative new vision in industrial imaging.

LORAD, a Hologic Company, has brought the state of industrial imaging to a new high with its portable, constant potential x-ray units, the LPX 160, and LPX 200, and LPX 300. The LPX series x-ray units are so advanced, they will set new NDT standards in Aerospace, Industry, Defense and anywhere it is critical to pinpoint the tiniest fault before it becomes a dangerous and expensive problem. Available in either liquid or air cooled versions, the digital LPX series x-ray units will produce variable outputs from 5 to 300kV, 0.1 to 10mA (900 watt max) to produce unparalleled resolution imaging in a wide variety of materials. All LORAD industrial x-ray systems operate on a 100% duty cycle for cost-efficient continuous operation.

End-Grounded Anode

The LPX series x-ray units are end grounded to allow for easier and more flexible positioning of the tubehead assembly. The end grounded x-ray tubes have a focal spot size of 1.5mm sq. The tube port is built with a low-absorption beryllium window that allows the radiographer to utilize the full spectrum of x-ray energy. This configuration permits shorter exposure times with high output for high resolution imaging of materials as diverse as thin composites and honeycomb structure to various metals with differing thicknesses.

Constant Potential Output for the Best Discrimination

The LORAD LPX series x-ray units have been engineered to produce the sharpest images in industrial x-ray. The high radiation output of the LORAD LPX systems allow for lower kV per exposure and increased film contrast for superior radiographic imaging. The unique design of the LPX series x-ray units allows for unmatched repeatability by monitoring both the kV and the mA directly at the tubehead, not at the high voltage power supply input like other systems.

Digital Microprocessor Control

All LORAD LPX systems come standard with LORAD's exclusive microprocessor-driven control. In addition to automatic warm-up and self-diagnostic circuitry, the LPX series x-ray units, have memory to store and recall up to 250 exposure techniques and will retain the last set of exposure parameters present before powering down. With LPX series x-ray units kV is adjustable in 1kV increments and mA in 0.1 mA increments. Exposure duration can be set anywhere from 0 min 0 seconds to 99 min 59 seconds in 1 second increments; mAs is variable from 0 to 29995 mAs.
