Carestream NDT has launched a new HPX-PRO Portable CR system designed to
enhance mobile imaging with exceptional image quality, improved productivity
and easy portability.
This next-generation CR system is lightweight at just 35 lbs, and its compact
size and design make it easy to move in and out of tight spaces such as mobile
inspection labs. The HPX-PRO is ideal for a wide range of imaging with scan
resolutions of 25, 50 and 100 microns.
Built Tough
Working in rugged and remote environments requires a CR system built for the
task.
The HPX-PRO was subjected to months of extreme testing including temperature
swings, 0 - 4G accelerometer, dropping, banging and being transported in
trucks (and airplanes) to validate its durability. During these tests it never
needed to be recalibrated and the unit performed flawlessly after each test cycle.
The HPX-PRO can be operated off main power (AC 110/ 220v) or by using the
on-board battery which can provide up to four hours of standby time and 45
minutes of run time. A replaceable air filter keeps out dust and dirt, and both the
entry and exit feed trays fold up to seal the unit when not in use. An optional
vehicle mounting bracket can be attached to a work surface enabling the HPX-
PRO to be quickly snapped into a secure position for safe transport in a lab on
rough roads.
Built Smart
The HPX-PRO’s software incorporates a new user interface designed to enable
the operator to begin working fast. The unit sets up in less than two minutes
using an Ethernet and power cable. On high production jobs such as pipeline
inspection the HPX-PRO can process a weld a minute when using (3x) 5 2/3"
plates. This including scanning, image display with a pre-set EDGE filter applied
and plate erasing. Batch Mode functionality allows users to run imaging plates in
batches while the system auto-numbers each plate. Improved tools allow for
rapid image analysis and customized reporting in seconds using the single click
image interpretation.
The HPX-PRO can also produce customized multi-line or single shot-style
reports in a matter of seconds. When creating the work report, users simply
select the welds to be included and click "create report." There is no need to
transpose data and concerns about making mistakes are minimized while time to
create reports is also compressed.
"The HPX-PRO is a complete workflow improvement tool from the first shot to
the final report," said Martin Graen, Carestream’s Worldwide General Manager for
Non-Destructive Testing Solutions. "From hardware to software, from laboratory
to deep in the field, the HPX-PRO is a complete digital system designed for
improved productivity in the most rugged NDT environments."
