Smiths Detection has today launched its new HI-SCAN 145180-2is
pro, specifically designed to meet the demands of air cargo
screening as international e-commerce and fast freight continue to
grow.
Several advances in technology have been combined to support
accurate decision-making; deliver on turnaround speed; and tangibly
improve operational efficiency and productivity – which in turn
reduces the screening cost per item. This state-of-the art scanner
has two newly developed 200kV X-ray generators set at 90° from each
other, with one uniquely positioned under the conveyor belt. This
layout offers excellent penetration and superior image quality -
minimising the need for time consuming, costly re-scans – as well
as easy access for maintenance and service.
Additionally, the generators are digitally controlled, offering
advanced analysis and diagnosis capabilities as well as an internal
memory, storing important lifecycle data.
“We are constantly investing in new technology to take security
screening into new territory and the new generators in the HI-SCAN
145180-2is pro are a significant development,” explained Matthew
Clark, Vice President Technology, Smiths Detection. “All our
experience in screening air cargo has been leveraged to create a
truly unique solution which fulfils the needs in the growing air
cargo market for optimum performance from a compact and
competitively priced scanner.”
Available now, the HI-SCAN 145180-2is pro also features a
compact footprint, convenient for congested air cargo environments;
and, overall, offers a very attractive total cost of ownership. A
robust conveyor is equipped with tightly packed rollers to support
smooth passage through the inspection tunnel for pallets and other
bulky and heavy objects. The large tunnel handles objects up to
145cm x 180cm. The latest HiTraX 3 electronics platform facilitates
optimised image presentation and easy integration into material
handling systems.
