3DX-Ray's AXIS-CXi secures sites in Rome

3DX-Ray has sold two AXIS-CXi, cabinet-based x-ray systems to secure high-threat sites in Rome, Italy. AXIS-CXi was originally designed to bring the same colour-differentiating image technology used in airport baggage screening, to the mail room environment. AXIS-CXi quickly showed its potential in a whole variety of security scenarios, from embassy lobbies to the homes of high-net-worth individuals. AXIS-CXi differentiated scans Grey scale is used for the recognition of shapes and the form of objects The AXIS-CXi was a huge step forward in mail room scanning, as colour differentiated scans enable operators to determine not just the shape but, the nature of the materials being scanned. Orange shows organics, such as; explosives, chemicals and drugs, as well as more innocent items such as foodstuffs. Blue shows metals, such as; guns, knives, and potential IED components.  Green shows inorganic materials like those used in homemade explosives. Grey scale is used for the recognition of shapes and the form of objects. This allows the operator, with very little training, to analyse items more accurately, quickly and easily. AXIS-CXi range of security scenarios But another major innovation is in the design itself. The AXIS-CXi has an extra-large inspection chamber, whilst maintaining a small footprint. So, not only can it scan mail and parcels, but it can also scan bags up to and including aircraft cabin bags. The system is mobile and aesthetically sympathetic, meaning that it can be used in offices, hotel lobbies, banks, retail centres, in fact anywhere! 3DX-RAY LTD, CEO, Vincent Deery said: “AXIS-CXi with its combination technology and unobtrusive good looks has once again proved its usefulness in an ever-growing range of security scenarios.”

The 305mm x 256mm imaging area is large enough for typical bags and packages to be scanned in one scan. 3DX-Ray on stand B5 3DX-Ray will showcase their newest portable x-ray system, the ThreatScan AS2, at this year’s exhibition They will find 3DX-Ray on stand B5 at this year’s Security and Policing, which starts at the Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre, where we will be demonstrating the ThreatScan®-AS2, ThreatScan®-AS1(ISC), ThreatScan® LS systems, and the world’s most capable mailroom scanner the AXIS™-CXi Cabinet System. 3DX-Ray will showcase their newest portable x-ray system, the ThreatScan AS2, at this year’s exhibition. The smaller AS2 panel has been specifically designed for operators working in areas where access is very restricted. It has a smaller footprint and uses the latest glassless technology inside to reduce size and weight. It boasts an excellent dead zone cut off, down to less than 3 mm on two sides. Another advantage of the AS2 panel is that its reduced size and weight make it ideal for backpacking and rapid deployment. ThreatScan®-AS1(ISC) The 3DX-RAY ThreatScan®-AS1(ISC) is a robust amorphous silicon portable x-ray inspection system. It comprises as standard a detector panel with an imaging area of 43cm x 35cm, a new high penetration 150kV generator, and a laptop along with batteries, chargers, the user-friendly 3DX-RAY ThreatSpect software, wireless communication and transport case. The AS1(ISC) is simple to use and produces extremely high quality, sub-millimetre resolution images in real time. User applications and threat scenarios ThreatScan®-AS1(SC) offers high flexibility in deployment to meet the wide variety of user applications The system is fully integrated, with a primary display, computer, communications and power supplies consolidated into a single, waterproof rugged case.  With the addition of a secondary display tablet, ThreatScan®-AS1(SC) offers high flexibility in deployment to meet the wide variety of user applications and threat scenarios. ThreatScan®-LS portable systems The portable ThreatScan® LS systems allow bomb technicians to perform rapid and accurate threat assessment in a wide range of operational scenarios. Each system consists of a generator, a detection panel and an imaging station as standard.  The detector panel is lightweight and incredibly thin and is available in either large or compact format. General security inspection The complete system can penetrate up to 34 mm steel at 120kV while producing high quality images The complete system can penetrate up to 34 mm steel at 120kV while producing high quality, sub-millimetre resolution images. ThreatScan® can be used to inspect suspect bags and packages in mass transit areas as well as general security inspection by first responders such as Police, Military and Private and Government Security agencies. AXIS™-CXi cabinet system The CXi is a cabinet scanning system with materials discrimination to aviation standard. The benefit of the materials discrimination image is that it highlights organic material in orange and metallic material in blue – if it is a mixed composition, it is coloured green. The system represents these materials accurately and has been verified according to the standards used by the aviation sector. This added image information is extremely helpful for an operator as it makes their assessment of potential threats easier and more reliable.
