PXS6-130SW 130kV X-Ray Sources

At Thermo Fisher Scientific, we provide our valued customers with the products, solutions, and support that enable you to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer.

To ensure we can continue to offer innovation, quality, value, and acceptable lead times, we continuously evaluate our portfolio and take the tough decisions to discontinue products where necessary.

Thermo Scientific™ PXS6-130SW, 130kV X-ray source combines the X-ray tube and high voltage power supply into one compact package that is powered by a 28VDC source. Unit houses a side-window sealed tube and a high-voltage power supply.

An external controller is available for driving the unit and setting up and monitoring the target voltage and beam current.

• Highly stable flux output of <0.2% standard deviation over 4hr period
• 0.5mÅ max beam current and titanium filter produces 16R/min output of hard X-rays at 65w
• 26.7mm Focus-to-Object Distance (FOD)
• CU020 controller
• Multi-pin connector used to supply the input power to the X-ray unit also provides connections for remote monitoring and control of the target voltage and electron beam current
• Water-cooled with thermal shutdown protection in the event of overheating
• Operating voltage range enables use with a wide range of materials
• 0.2% maximum relative standard deviation over any 4-hour period in 20 hours when operated with the appropriate Thermo Scientific X-ray controller operating above 20kV
• The window orientation relative to the housing is factory set to the G position
• Shielding of the housing is sufficient to ensure that the X-ray leakage is less than 0.5 mR/hour measured one inch away from any part of the housing
• The target voltage and electron beam current are adjusted by using a separate external variable DC voltage source, or by adjusting the programming signal available from the multi-pin connector with external potentiometers
• Recommended shielding: lead, 0.125 in. thick (3.2mm)
