"We are thrilled to introduce the X-Panel 43108a FQI, meeting the demand for a larger and faster dynamic detector. We are proud to deliver a product that not only meets but exceeds these expectations. This groundbreaking solution will redefine industrial imaging, enabling faster and more accurate inspections of large components, and ultimately improving efficiency across various industries,” said Tuomas Holma, Product Director at Detection Technology.
“For years, the 43 x 43 cm a-Si-TFT flat panels have been the backbone of industrial inspection. Now, with the X-Panel 43108a FQI, we are more than doubling the active area. With an active area of 43 x 108 cm, X-Panel 43108a FQI allows inspection of large-scale industrial components with a single scan, drastically reducing imaging time and improving throughput. It features revolutionary technology, including a single-glass TFT sensor combined with fast readout electronics, enabling fast imaging despite its large form factor.”
Key Features Include:
- Largest single-glass TFT detector on the market: Capable of imaging large objects in one scan, minimizing artifacts and improving productivity.
- High-speed imaging: More than three times faster than conventional large panel solutions, achieving a frame rate of ≥10 fps (1x1) compared to the industry average of 3 fps, significantly increasing throughput.
- Robust and industrial-ready: Engineered for demanding industrial environments.
- Versatile modalities: Supports both digital radiography (DR / 2D) and computed tomography (CT / 3D) systems.
- Comprehensive application range: Suitable for kV and MV imaging, making it adaptable for various object sizes and densities.
- Form factor: Enables new types of X-ray inspection systems.
- Regulatory and ASTM compliance: Ensuring safety and seamless integration into industrial systems.
Furthermore, the X-Panel 43108a FQI features a-Si-TFT technology, a 430 x 1075 mm active area, a 140 µm pixel size, and a 3072 x 7680 matrix. Its 10G BASE-T interface enables high-speed data transfer. The DRZ-High scintillator ensures high-quality imaging for high-energy NDT applications, and its 30 kg weight makes it robust yet manageable for industrial use.
The X-Panel 43108a FQI caters to various industries, including automotive, aerospace, heavy machinery, defence, and general manufacturing. It is designed for inspection applications such as automotive body and battery assembly inspection, aircraft fuselage and composite structure testing, large castings examination, ammunition safety checks, and conveyor-based inspection of bulky items and components.
The X-Panel 43108a FQI will be available with EU Origin. Deliveries of the X-Panel 43108a FQI are slated to begin by the end of 2025 from Detection Technology’s site in Finland, and local customer service is available in Europe and the US.
Detection Technology will showcase the key features of X-Panel 43108a FQI at the Control exhibition in Stuttgart, Germany, from 6–9 May 2025. Attend the product presentations at Stand 5217 in Hall 5 to discover more.
