Radiography

Introducing an innovative new vision in industrial imaging.

Lorad Industrial Imaging has brought the state of industrial imaging to a new high with its portable, constant potential LPX series x-ray units.

The LPX series x-ray units are so advanced, they are setting 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 outputs from 5 to l60kV, 0.1 to 5mA (LPX-160), 10 to 200kV, 0.1 to 10mA, 900 watt maximum (LPX-200) and 10 to 300kV,, 0.1 to 10mA, 900 watt maximum (LPX-300), 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 tube head 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 thickness’.

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 tube head, 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, when equipped with the optional Exposure Library Unit, now have memory to store and recall up to 250 exposure techniques and will retain the last set of exposure parameters present before powering down, including the exposure time remaining.

The LPX series x-ray units adjust the kV in 1 kV increments and adjust the 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.

Automatic Adaptation to Input Line Voltage

The LPX series x-ray units are perfectly suited to today's demanding NDT inspection requirements. The LPX series are rugged, yet easy to transport and economical to maintain and can be powered by either line power or portable generator to permit all day inspection under extreme conditions. All systems automatically adapt to standard input line voltage of 100-130 or 200-250 VAC or they can be powered by a portable generator so they can be used virtually anywhere.

Exclusive Laser Pointer

Only Lorad LPX portable x-ray systems allow pinpoint image area targeting via Lorad's exclusive Laser Pointer laser sighting system. Lorad's Laser Pointer projects a highly visible reference laser beam from the tube head to surfaces as far as 75 feet away from the tube head to show precisely where the central x-ray beam will be located. Unique in industrial x-ray, the Laser Pointer permits unmatched accuracy for greater efficiency and reduced set-up times.
