Smiths Detection’s New Scanner to Improve Air Cargo Security

Smiths Detection has launched the HI-SCAN 145180-2is pro.

Specifically designed to meet the demands of air cargo screening, this state-of-the art scanner has two newly developed 200kV X-ray generators set at 90° from each other, with one uniquely positioned under the conveyor belt.

The generators are digitally controlled, offering advanced analysis and diagnosis capabilities as well as an internal memory, storing important lifecycle data.

“We are constantly investing in new technology to take security screening into new territory and the new generators in the HI-SCAN 145180-2is pro are a significant development,” said Matthew Clark, Vice President Technology, Smiths Detection. “All our experience in screening air cargo has been leveraged to create a truly unique solution which fulfills the needs in the growing air cargo market for optimum performance from a compact and competitively priced scanner.”

Available now, the HI-SCAN 145180-2is pro also features a compact footprint, convenient for congested air cargo environments.

A robust conveyor is equipped with tightly packed rollers to support smooth passage through the inspection tunnel for pallets and other bulky and heavy objects.

The large tunnel handles objects up to 145cm x 180cm, while the latest HiTraX 3 electronics platform facilitates optimised image presentation and easy integration into material handling systems.
