XRV Sub-systems

When it comes to dependable HV power for X-Ray applications, Spellman High Voltage leads the way.

No other manufacturer builds a more reliable, efficient, stable, or compact X-Ray Generator. Offering negative, positive or bipolar output ranging from 160kV to 450kV, Spellman can deliver an ideal solution for a wide variety of applications.

Today’s X-Ray applications demand greater performance, higher reliability, and increased flexibility. Spellman has responded with the compact, powerful, and reliable XRV Series. Consider the benefits of the groundbreaking XRV: Low ripple and active power factor correction result in reduced banding and higher quality images; an encapsulated high-voltage section cuts size and reduces weight, enabling the unit to operate oil-free and with little or no maintenance; an innovative, proprietary inverter topology allows for very high efficiency and power density, thus enhancing the overall performance of your equipment. Combine Spellman’s XRV series generator with the Industry’s best X-Ray tubes and accessories and the result is an X-Ray sub system second to none.

Applications: 

• NDT/Inspection
• Medical Sterilization/Irradiation
• Analytical X-RAY
• Medical X-RAY
• ATE
• Security Cargo Scanning
• Digital Radiography (DR)
• Industrial CT
• Computed Radiography (CR)

Features:

• Adjustable arc count, quenching and ramping speeds protect X-Ray tubes
• Lightweight compact packaging
• Specialized warmup programs optimize tube performance and extend life
• Tube database for all standard X-Ray tubes is included with the XRV Controller
• The use of terminal blocks for installation offer quick set-up and replacement times
• Dual filament power supplies drive all conventional metal ceramic X-Ray tubes

Reliability:

Design Validation – Industry leading reliability and MTBF. Environmental stress screening, electrical overstress, extended arcing and HALT compliance. Testing conducted on X-Ray tube loads and beta testing in multiple applications.

Encapsulation – The XRV’s oil free design eliminates leaks and environmental concerns. The encapsulated dielectric high voltage section – made of our proprietary large-pour formulation – provides significantly higher dielectric strength than oil, is more forgiving of field stresses, and eliminates the maintenance and biohazards associated with oil tanks.

Safety and Compliance – Complies with International Regulatory requirements for CE/UL/CSA.

Performance:

Output Stability and Ripple – Industry best stability and lowest output ripple provide superior image quality.

Fast Ramp Up Time – Ramp time is adjustable from100mS to 30 seconds through the proprietary XRV GUI control.

Fast Digital Controller – The XRV utilizes a DSP based microcontroller to monitor and control critical tube and generator parameters. Helps ensure accuracy, repeatability, and dose stability.

Flexibility:

Small Size & Low Cost of Ownership - XRV Series models measure and weigh far less than their industry counterparts.

Plug-n-Play Compatibility & Ease of Use – XRV comes with industry standard and custom digital and analog interfaces, including: RS-232, USB; Ethernet. An intuitive Windows-based GUI facilitates set-up, provides diagnostics and control of status, configuration and operation.

Serviceability - The XRV Series has a unique modular design, with four Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs) that minimize MTTR, service inventory and overall repair cycle time. A trouble-shooting tree and fault indicators simplify problem detection for faster, more accurate servicing. And, of course, Spellman’s technical support is global, ensuring swift worldwide coverage.
