ISOVOLT mobile 160

Mobile Industrial X-ray generator

The ISOVOLT mobile 160 has been designed for operations where access to the inspection area is difficult. It is ideal for use in the energy, mineral and petro chemical industries where pipelines and container tanks require X-ray inspection. It consists of an X-ray generator, a choice of 160 kV X-ray tubes, an integral water-cooling system, high voltage cable up to 20 m (64 ft.) in length and a control module based on the field-proven MF4. All the components are carried in a compact, wheeled transport cart, which provides IP54 protection of the system in harsh operating conditions. The high voltage cable and the cooling hoses are also sheathed for added protection.

Features

X-ray Generator and Tubes

The X-ray generator and tube arrangement has its own water-cooling system, so that only electrical power connection is required on site. Constant Potential Technology is employed to provide excellent power rating of 1600 W at a max. 10 mA. Special warm-up routines optimize the performance of the X-ray tubes and maximizes their lifetime.

A range of 160 kV tubes is available, including High Power and Mini-Focus tubes, as well as panoramic tubes and special very small diameter tubes.

The complete system can also be suspended from a crane through an integral lifting eye, to allow work in elevated, difficult access locations, when start and stop functions can be carried out by means of an optional remote control unit.

Control Module

The high voltage cable, the cooling water hoses and the ground wire form a bundle that is sheathed in a plastic jacket for handling and protection.

Transport Cart

The ergonomically designed, control module offers intuitive operation and a highly visible, full graphic, trans-reflective display, with on-board exposure calculator and menu-driven set-up and operation. It can be conveniently operated in a number of user-selected configurations. There is constant monitoring and display of temperatures and mains voltage. Event logging and immediate interpretation is shown on the graphical user interface, which guides users through selected set-up or inspection procedures. The capabilities of the module are further complemented by productivity-focused, “Features on Demand”, such as the optional Administrator Kit, which allows PC connectivity for the creation, modification and / or archiving of exposure programs, downloading of all stored events and exporting in spreadsheet form or print-off. A Film Focus Distance conversion calculator is also a major feature of the control module, allowing rapid exposure set-up. Fast and safe set-up and interchange of tubes is also ensured because of the module’s extensive integral database. This allows tubes to be pre-programmed for immediate operation during field operations.
