Next-Generation Checkpoint X-Ray Screening
The Astrophysics XIS-6040N is a high-performance X-ray inspection system designed for the screening of baggage, parcels and mail in security-critical environments. Combining a space-efficient frame with advanced imaging, ergonomic controls and modular software options, it delivers accurate threat detection, excellent material discrimination and consistent throughput across modern checkpoints.
Compact Narrow-Frame Design for Space-Restricted Sites
A 600 mm × 400 mm tunnel opening provides the capacity to screen larger bags and consignments while maintaining a narrow overall footprint. With compact system dimensions, the unit installs easily in confined screening areas such as hotels, transport hubs, government buildings and event venues where floor space is limited but full checkpoint capability is required.
High-Penetration 160 kV X-Ray Generator
The 160 kV generator produces powerful, high-contrast images capable of penetrating dense and cluttered items. This enables reliable detection of concealed weapons, explosives and contraband within backpacks, briefcases, parcels and personal belongings.
Advanced Imaging with Material Discrimination
Astrophysics’ proprietary imaging suite provides 24-bit colour and greyscale imaging, density analysis, high-contrast enhancement and positive/negative viewing modes. Intuitive tools such as zoom, pan, image filters and adjustable contrast allow rapid interpretation without slowing throughput. Real-time image archiving supports audit trails, incident review and operational reporting.
Windows-Based Control Platform with Smart Diagnostics
A responsive Windows control system delivers a familiar operator interface with a high-resolution display and ergonomic console layout. Integrated self-diagnostics continuously monitor X-ray output, conveyor performance and system status, providing proactive maintenance alerts to maximize uptime. Optional AI-assisted detection and advanced material analysis modules automatically flag potential threats, supporting faster and more consistent decision-making in high-risk environments.
Bidirectional Conveyor for Continuous Flow Operation
The heavy-duty bidirectional conveyor allows items to be screened in both directions to maintain efficiency during peak demand. Durable rollers and a smooth belt system are designed for repetitive, high-volume use while maintaining stable image quality and reliable throughput.
Engineered for Safe, Long-Term Deployment
Fully shielded X-ray generation and compliant emission controls ensure safe operation for operators and the public. Industrial-grade components and robust construction provide long service life in demanding screening applications.
Ideal for High-Security Screening Locations
Designed for security-critical environments where accurate, high-throughput inspection is essential, including airport checkpoints and boarding gates, government and judicial facilities, corporate and enterprise access control points, event venues and stadium security, mailrooms and parcel inspection stations, logistics hubs and transport terminals, and critical infrastructure sites.
Key Operational Benefits
Narrow footprint with full 600 mm × 400 mm tunnel capability, high-penetration 160 kV imaging for dense baggage, advanced multi-mode image analysis for rapid interpretation, a bidirectional conveyor for continuous screening flow, real-time self-diagnostics for maximum uptime, optional AI threat detection modules, and a Windows-based, network-ready control platform.
