Flexible DR Detector HPX-ARC 1025 PH, Carestream NDT – is an innovative, bendable digital radiography (DR) imaging system designed to transform non-destructive testing (NDT) workflows. With its flexible detector technology that conforms to curved and flat surfaces, the HPX-ARC delivers high-resolution radiographic images instantly, enabling faster inspection, improved defect detection and simplified operations compared with traditional film or computed radiography (CR) methods.
Key Features & Benefits
- Revolutionary Bendable DR Design: The flexible detector conforms to a wide range of object shapes — from small curved pipes to flat surfaces — enabling high-quality imaging in hard-to-reach and confined areas.
- Instant Digital Image Access: Captures and displays images immediately, eliminating the need for film development and allowing technicians to validate Image Quality Indicators (IQI) or compliance on-site.
- Superior Image Quality: High resolution (approximately 98 μm pixel pitch) supports excellent defect recognition and industry code compliance.
- Slim, Portable Format: Compact and lightweight design (e.g., 10 × 25 cm active area) with a profile suited for imaging around and over complex geometries.
- Durable Field-Ready Construction: Built for demanding NDT environments with robust enclosure protection (e.g., IP67 rated) against dust, liquids and rugged handling.
- Reduced Radiation Dose: Improved detection efficiency and digital imaging reduce the radiation dose required for inspections compared with conventional methods.
- No Consumables Required: No film, plates, or chemicals are needed — which reduces operational costs and environmental impact.
- Wide Source Compatibility: Designed to work with both Gamma and X-ray sources for versatile industrial applications.
- INDUSTREX Software Integration: Comprehensive integration with INDUSTREX Digital Viewing Software for advanced image analysis, file sharing and archive management.
- Faster Setup & Inspection: Bendable design allows easier setup, quicker time to image and faster inspection cycles than traditional film or CR systems.
Applications
Ideal for use in Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Aerospace & Defense, Pipework and Weld Inspection, and other industrial sectors where accurate and rapid radiographic evaluation is essential. The HPX-ARC system is particularly suited for field NDT work in confined spaces, complex geometries and high-workflow environments.
