Ahrensburg, Germany – April 30, 2008. — The new ISOVOLT Titan E stationary X-ray machine from GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies is based on the field-proven ISOVOLT Titan series but offers significant improvements in ease of operation, controllability and on-board logic to allow greater operational productivity and reliability. The new machine will find increasing application in meeting the requirements of system integrators for automated X-ray solutions. It will also be used as a stand-alone X-ray machine for conventional X-ray radiography and radioscopy in the metals and castings industry, in the automotive, aerospace, petrochemical, power generation and general industrial sectors and in scientific research.

The new Titan E offers the same high out put of 4.5kW as the existing Titan family, with the same maximum tube current of 45 mA, extremely stable high voltage and very low ripple but this is now supported by a control platform which is more intuitive and easier to use. This is the result of an ergonomic, interactive re-design, which features a fully graphic screen that clearly displays all operating and set-up parameters, a dynamic menu guide and a consistent method of operation which permits input through a keyboard, a speed-dependent wheel and function keys.
System safety has also been an important consideration in the re-design and the operating condition of professional generator, tube and cable is continuously monitored and displayed in accordance with regulatory requirements. Any alarm situations are instantly reported and there is automatic switch-off in the event of lamp failure.
