DX-Ray Markets its Advanced
Portable X-ray system
The TPXi-675 is a portable X-ray system designed specifically for bomb and threat detection. It offers
world-class image clarity, and can fit into tight corners. Being highly portable and quick to deploy it
can help combat the terrorist’s increased reliance on “soft” targets and high-pedestrian-traffic areas.
Weighing just 6.5kg for the source and 8kg for the detector, it is easy to transport and place, even
when the user is wearing heavy protection. It is already used by police authorities in London and
provides the largest detector area (around 53cm x 41cm) currently available.
The detector is just 5cm thick so it can slip into very narrow gaps behind suspect packages,
previously the simple trick of placing a package near a wall would mean X-ray systems possibly could
not be used.
The system use secure WiFi communications so that the operator can retire to a safe distance after
just a few seconds, yet can still control the system and view the resultant X-ray images.
