THREAT detection technology provider Smiths Detection has unveiled its new, dual-view X-ray inspection system designed to meet the growing global demands of screening large cargo, pallets and freight items on both passenger and cargo aircraft.
The compact HI-SCAN 145180-2is is capable of screening objects up to 145 cm by 180 cm, meeting the maximum skid/pallet size allowed by the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and will join its 16 inspection units already on the TSA Air Cargo Screening Qualified Technology List (ACSQTL).
The dual-view capability speeds throughput by providing the operator with two high-resolution adjoining images, eliminating the need to scan twice to obtain the same information.
Said Smiths Detection president Mal Maginnis: "A smooth flow of air cargo is critical to the global economy. Our new, advanced Xray inspection system will allow shippers to screen bulk items without unpacking shipments, scanning individual boxes and then re-assembling the pallet or large shipment."
The HI-SCAN 145180-2is, which also features a highly compact footprint, will save customers time and money, he said in a company statement.
