High-Resolution X-Ray Imaging
The HI-SCAN 5180si uses an advanced detector and image-generation system to produce detailed X-ray images. The system stores 4096 grey levels and supports black-and-white and colour image presentation, helping operators analyse the contents of screened baggage.
Its high-resolution imaging capability provides wire detectability up to approximately 40 AWG under typical conditions, while steel penetration is typically up to 37 mm.
Large Screening Tunnel
With a 517 × 800 mm tunnel opening, the HI-SCAN 5180si is designed for screening checked baggage and larger airport luggage. The maximum specified object size is approximately 510 × 795 mm, providing substantial screening capacity for airport check-in operations.
The conveyor supports a maximum evenly distributed load of 160 kg, making the system suitable for demanding baggage-screening environments.
Advanced Image Analysis
The system supports image enhancement and analysis functions including electronic zoom, image review and image-processing tools designed to assist operators in evaluating X-ray images. The documented system options include functions such as X-ACT, HI-TIP, HI-SPOT, SEN, XPlore, IMS and Xport.
Continuous-Duty Operation
The HI-SCAN 5180si is designed for continuous operation with a 100% duty cycle and no warm-up procedure required. This makes it suitable for airport environments where baggage screening must operate continuously throughout security operations.
Typical Applications
The HI-SCAN 5180si is suitable for:
- Airport check-in security
