Carestream Industrex HPX-1 Plus Digital System

The new HPX-1 Plus has the capability to handle extra long plates, custom cut plates & rigid cassettes. Improved optics for better imaging, 30% faster throughput on long saturated plates, improved imaging plate transport system, higher mechanical reliability and a more user-friendly DICONDE compliant software for the best experience in digital imaging.

Plate size flexibility

HPX-1 Plus can handle a wide range of plate sizes up to 60″ long, ranging from 70 mm – 14-inch wide

Wide dynamic range

Provides wide dynamic imaging range in a single shot
Reduces many multi-film shots to a single CR exposure

Subdued or room light capabilities

HPX-1 can work in an environment with subdued lighting (does not need to be dark)
Light cover masks out most outside light during scan
Can run bare imaging plates or with a rigid cassettes (this can be used in normal room light)

Halogen “Smart” erase

Improved SmartErase system applies calculated light intensity erase based upon exposure received
HPX-1 Plus improved throughput from optimized erase system

Superior image viewing tools

Image viewing tools allow displayed images to be enhanced digitally to aid in interpretation without altering the Original Image Data
Customizable multilayered image display filter

Specifically built for NDT applications:

Multiple fans and filters maintain positive internal air pressure to keep dust, debris unfiltered air out of the system
Integrated brushes and seals keep environmental light and dirt out
Rubber feet absorb ambient vibrations in the field
Ergonomically designed handles for easy transport
Dust cover for extra storage protection in industrial environments
Withstood rigorous drop testing (100 g impact force)
Withstood variable amplitude and frequency vibration test

Ultra High Image Quality

Spatial Resolution
25μ, 35μ, 50μ and 100μ operation Pixel Pitch: 50 Microns or better (12 lp/mm) Laser Spot Size: 20μ (measured at 85% of peak)

Positive Pressure Fans for Dirty NDT Environments
Let’s face it, NDT environments can be dirty. Drum and flat bed style scanners collect contaminants on the surface where they can be transported into the system or into the optical path and be be imaged. HPX-1 Plus is the only CR system on the market that has positive airflow to keep contaminants outside the unit.

Dual Air Filters (including HEPA)
Clean air is critical to keeping the equipment cool and the imaging areas clean. The HPX- 1 Plus is the only system outfitted with dual filters to make sure the environment is kept outside.

Image Plate Flexibility
HPX systems are one of the most flexible CR systems on the market capable of handling raw imaging plates, multiple plates at one time, custom cut sizes (with Plate Carrier), hard cassettes and long Plates (up to 60”) without special feed guides.

Plate Transport System
The HPX-1 Plus plate transport system has always minimized contact with the imaging plate. Unlike magnetic plate drive systems that require uniquely designed imaging plates (which can be costly) or drum systems that advise using plate protective covers to avoid plate damage, the HPX-1 Plus run plates phosphor side up with a proven transport system that won’t damage your imaging plates.

Improved Optics
HPX-1 Plus’ improved PMT’s improve its sensitivity and reduce unwanted artifacts. CR systems often also make it possible to lower your exposure while still achieving the required sensitivity. Our adjustable PMT and Laser Power allow you fine tune every image for optimum capture every time.

Powerful Software
HPX-1 Plus is operated using our powerful INDUSTREX software that includes a host of features for measurement, custom designed EDGE Image Filters, full DICONDE compliance, and many other tools designed specifically for NDT.
