X-ray camera from Teledyne Rad-icon Imaging generates low-noise images

The Shad-o-Box 1280 HS CMOS-based x-ray camera delivers full-resolution 30 frame/s operation, low noise, high sensitivity, a real-time GigE interface, and nearly complete elimination of image artifacts for industrial CT applications. The camera can be operated in 2 × 2 binning mode at up to 60 frames/s for faster image capture. The low-power design consumes less than 10 W; sensitivity exceeds 10 LSB/µR; and image quality is 14 bit.

NEW PRODUCT PRESS RELEASE

Announcing the Shad-o-Box 1280 HS
Shad-o-Box 1280 HS

The Shad-o-Box 1280 HS is a revolutionary addition to Rad-icon's Shad-o-Box HS product line of real-time, CMOS-based x-ray cameras. Designed from the ground-up for industrial CT applications, the Shad-o-Box 1280 HS delivers full-resolution 30 fps operation, exceptionally low noise, unmatched sensitivity, a real-time GigE interface, and a nearly complete elimination of image artifacts. The Shad-o-Box 1280 HS can also be operated in 2x2 binning mode at up to 60 fps for even faster image capture requirements.

Existing CMOS imaging solutions in the market evolved from low frame rate panels, whereas the Shad-o-Box 1280 HS provides dynamic, 30 fps imaging out of the box at a competitive price. The low-noise, distortion-free imaging at full video rates is far superior to similar-sized image intensifier (II) and amorphous silicon (a-Si) based solutions. With an active area of 12.8 x 12.8 cm (5 x 5”) and 100 µm pixel size, this camera offers an attractive image size and resolution for industrial CT applications, including the inspection of circuit boards, machine components, and manufactured parts as well as dimensional verification and failure analysis.

Key features:
* 14-bit digital image quality
* 1.6 megapixel resolution at 30 fps
* Sensitivity exceeding 10 LSB/µR
* Real-time GigE interface
* Low power CMOS design consumes less than 10 W
