Smiths Detection HI-SCAN 10080 XCT – Advanced CT Explosives Detection System

Product Overview

The Smiths Detection HI-SCAN 10080 XCT is a high-speed explosives detection system (EDS) designed for automated screening of checked baggage and suitable air-cargo parcels. Using dual-view, dual-energy X-ray technology and three-dimensional computed tomography, it produces detailed volumetric images to help security systems identify potential explosive threats.

Designed for integration into automated baggage and material-handling systems, the HI-SCAN 10080 XCT supports high-throughput airport operations while helping operators maintain effective screening procedures. Its large rectangular tunnel and high-speed conveyor make it suitable for major airports, air-cargo facilities and other demanding aviation security environments.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Full 3D CT imaging: Produces volumetric images to support detailed analysis of baggage contents.
  • Dual-view, dual-energy X-ray technology: Combines two viewing directions with dual-energy imaging to provide additional information about scanned objects.
  • Automatic explosives detection: Analyses items for potential explosive threats as part of an automated screening process.
  • High-speed conveyor: Operates at a belt speed of 0.5 m/s.
  • High screening throughput: Supports up to 1,800 bags per hour under suitable operating conditions.
  • Large tunnel opening: The tunnel measures approximately 1,070 × 810 mm, supporting the inspection of large baggage and parcels.
  • Automated system integration: Designed to integrate with airport baggage-handling and material-handling systems.
  • Advanced image reconstruction: Combines X-ray acquisition with 3D reconstruction to support image interpretation and security decisions.
  • Optional lithium-battery detection: The iCMORE Lithium Batteries application can help identify lithium batteries in scanned items.
  • Optional dangerous-goods detection: The iCMORE Dangerous Goods application can support detection of specified dangerous goods, including selected flammable solids and liquids and compressed or liquefied gases.
  • Optional weapons detection: Compatible configurations may support iCMORE Weapons functionality.
  • Networked operation: Supports integration into larger airport screening environments, depending on the system configuration.
