PORTABLE X-RAY INSPECTION

SYSTEM NORKA
“NORKA” is a unique portable X-ray inspection system with a
microfocus constant-potential X-ray radiation source. The voltage
can be adjusted from 20 to 150 kV, which allows for the inspection
of objects made from different materials with varying densities and
thicknesses (20-70 kV is the optimal voltage for checking mail and
thin objects, while 100-150 kV works best for baggage and thick
objects). One of the advantages of this system is its ability to inspect
areas of an object in fine detail using geometric magnification (up to
40 times).

The X-ray unit has a 40-micron focal spot rather than a 1 mm spot
used in standard X-ray systems. The resolution power in this case attains an unprecedented value -
25 micron of a copper wire equivalent. Moreover, the distance between an object and the X-ray
source can be minimal, down
to a few centimeters or a few millimeters when using geometric magnification.

The images are reproduced on a display screen of the control unit in a positive / negative form, in pseudo
colours, or with enhanced contrast. For better identification you can zoom in on any of the nine areas of
the screen. Obtained images can be stored in the control unit’s memory for further investigation or as a
reference (up to 30,000 pictures). Stored images can also be edited for enhanced exposure and easier
identification of the objects.

If necessary, obtained pictures can be rewritten from the D:\images directory of a “BU-4” or “BU-5” control
unit to a USB disk. Universal power supply (85 - 240 VAC 50/60Hz) allows for easy operation anywhere in
the world.

The “NORKA” system is delivered in two handy carrying bags or in one case.
