Portable Computed Radiography System - CR Scanner

Portable Computed Radiography System - CR System – ToronCRS™-170 Key Features

• 170 mm Wide-Bay Scanning with Dual-IP Capability: The 170 mm maximum IP width accommodates all standard industrial radiographic plate sizes and uniquely enables the simultaneous scanning of two 80 mm IP plates in a single pass — cutting throughput time in half for pipeline girth weld and plate inspection programs that use narrow-format IPs.
• Three Selectable Scanning Resolutions — 25 μm, 50 μm, 100 μm: User-selectable pixel pitch of 25, 50, or 100 μm allows the operator to balance image resolution and scanning speed to the specific inspection requirement — from ultra-fine 25 μm resolution for thin-section or high-sensitivity applications to rapid 100 μm scanning for high-volume production line throughput.
• Top-Mounted Laser Scanning Path — Dust-Protected Optics: The scanning laser is positioned above the IP plate rather than below it, eliminating the accumulation of debris and dust on the optical path that occurs in bottom-laser designs. This design choice directly protects long-term image quality and reduces cleaning maintenance requirements — particularly important in field and construction site environments.
• Positive-Pressure Filtered Cooling System — Field-Ready Enclosure: An internal positive-pressure cooling duct with an air filter actively prevents dust ingress into the scanner enclosure during operation. Combined with the user-replaceable filter design, this system ensures consistent internal cleanliness and thermal management — without requiring service technician involvement for routine filter changes.
• DICONDE Native Image Format: All images are acquired and stored in DICONDE format — the ASTM E2339-standardized data format for industrial digital radiography that embeds complete inspection metadata alongside the image data. DICONDE ensures interoperability with all DICONDE-compliant image management and evaluation systems and satisfies the traceability requirements of ASME, API, ISO, and AWS radiographic testing codes.

• Industrial Imaging Software v1.5.1 with 8 AIP Advanced Modes: The included software platform provides a comprehensive suite of NDT image evaluation and management tools, including 8 application-specific AIP (Advanced Image Processing) modes pre-optimized for weld inspection, casting evaluation, and composite material assessment. One-click mode selection delivers optimal image enhancement for each inspection type without manual parameter tuning.
• Automated Duplex Wire IQI Spatial Resolution Measurement: The software automatically calculates and reports the achieved spatial resolution by ROI-box selection over the duplex wire IQI in the radiographic image — eliminating the manual wire-by-wire visual examination process and generating a quantified, reportable spatial resolution value that directly supports code compliance documentation.
• Real-Time X-Ray Machine Synchronized Control: Integrated software control of the connected X-ray generator — including exposure trigger, stop command, and parameter settings — allows the operator to manage the full radiographic exposure cycle from the imaging workstation, reducing setup time and improving workflow efficiency in both laboratory and field configurations.
• Comprehensive DICONDE Database Management: Every stored image is automatically tagged with a full set of inspection metadata — user, date/time, category, location, filename, project, equipment type, source type, exposure time, and description — creating a fully searchable, traceable digital inspection record that supports audit, reporting, and long-term asset management requirements.
• Optional Battery Power for Off-Grid Field Deployment: An optional battery accessory enables fully self-contained portable CR operation at remote field sites, offshore platforms, and construction locations without access to AC mains power — delivering the same full scanning capability as the AC-powered configuration in a completely mobile package.
• Detachable Input Tray with Ambient Light Protection: The removable input tray is specifically designed to shield the loaded IP from ambient light during the loading process, minimizing pre-scan erasure of the latent radiographic image — a critical factor in maintaining image density and contrast in bright field environments.
• Multi-Format Output, Report Templates, and Customization: The software supports multi-format image export, custom report template creation for client-specific inspection documentation, and optional custom software development for AI-assisted defect evaluation and workflow automation — enabling the ToronCRS™-170 system to be fully integrated into digital inspection management programs.
