X-ray Line-Scan Camera Series

Falcon Single Energy LDA
The X-Scan Imaging XI8800 series of linear
array x-ray cameras offer high performancefor x-ray scanning applications at extra longlengths. At the heart of a XI8800 camera are
X-Scan Imaging’s CMOS silicon imaging
detector array chips providing wide dynamic
range and solid-state reliability. A wide
selection of scintillation material converts xrays into visible light for detection by theimaging array and optimizes both sensitivityand resolution. The close proximity of theanalog-to-digital converters (ADC) to thedetector chips and the use of low-voltagedifferential-signal (LVDS) technology minimize
interference noise. A collection of hardware
for interfacing to computers and software
including drivers, an intuitive application
programming interface (API), and example
code software expedite developments of
x-ray scanning system.

The maximum line rate is available for LLL≤18 (461 mm). Also depending in scintillator choice, image quality
may be degraded at line rates greater than 1 KHz.

Calculate conveyor speed or object velocity by multiplying (Resolution * Scan Rate)
Example XI8804 16 inches long, Maximum velocity is (0.4mm * 6kHz )= 2.4m/s
Magnification may also need to be considered using the source to object and source todetector distances.

Mechanical Configurations
X-Scan Imaging housings are available in two form factors. The DR housing is a low profile, wider
detector to fit under conveyor systems or other tight spaces. The DS housing is a taller, narrower
profile. The standard X-Scan Imaging detectors, Single Energy, Dual Energy, and CMOS TDI all
share the same mounting hole pattern.
