HISTORICAL OVERVIEW

YXLON COPENHAGEN PRODUCT LINE

SMART EVO SERIES XPO EVO Y.XMB

The Y.SMART series anno 1989

8

The Y.SMART series has been produced since 1989. When introduced, YXLON Copenhagen made a giant leap forward in portable X-ray technology.

YXLON Copenhagen made a shift from oil-filled tube heads with glass inserts, to gas-filled tube heads with metal ceramic X-ray tubes and constant potential technology.

 

The oil-filled tube heads from the sixties weighed 130 kg, compared to the much lighter gas-filled tube heads weighing about 30 kg.

The new technology made the Y.SMART series:

• Robust and compact

• Light-weight

• And allowed high X-ray performance

LOOKING BACK

The SMART EVO series present

9

The technological evolution has enabled YXLON Copenhagen to bring the Y.SMART series into the 21th century, by designing the SMART EVO series.

YXLON Copenhagen have succeeded in this and managed to stay true to the trademarks of the Y.SMART series.

The new design includes:

• Lighter weight

• Improved performance

• And an updated technological platform

LOOKING FORWARD

10

Welcome to a new range of superior portable X-ray systems

THE SMART EVO SERIES

It’s robust and reliable

11

•X-ray systems with metal ceramic X-ray tubes are of higher quality than systems using glass or ceramic X-ray tubes. They better withstand the rough handling of field inspection.

•SMART EVO systems are specially designed to meet the demanding requirements of field inspections. For example, the robustly redesigned composite casing now protects all vital parts even better.

•SMART EVO is also tested in accordance with IP66 for the control unit, and IP65 for the tube head, in order to ensure the best possible protection from the environment.

BUILT TO LAST

It’s light-weight and easy to

handle

12

The significantly lower weight, when compared to the Y.SMART series, ensures an optimized workflow.

The carefully designed features, such as the beam blocker, shoulder strap and laser indication of the X-ray beam, are also examples of new features which ensure a faster workflow.

The exposure calculator calculates the actual exposure time and eliminates the need for time-consuming trial-and-error shots.

SMARTER WORKFLOW 

Due to its technical

capabilities

13

The SMART EVO system is based on constant potential technology, which ensures the shortest possible exposure time.

The state-of-the-art cooling principles, not only allow a temperature range from -20˚C to +50˚C, but also provide one hour of exposures at full power in +35˚C ambient temperatures.

The power factor corrector (PFC) in the control unit, not only optimizes the current load of the mains grid, but also secures stable operation in unstable power conditions and covers a unified line voltage of between 85-264 VAC and 45-65 Hz.

15

METAL CERAMIC X-RAY TUBES

Portable X-ray systems with metal ceramic X-ray tubes are of higher quality than systems using ceramic or glass X-ray tubes. They better withstand the rough handling of field inspection.

The stainless steel housing has replaced the glass resulting in a much more robust and reliable tube. Modern production methods eliminate any spread in accuracy resulting in a uniformed output without variation in focal spot or X-ray beam.

• Higher lifetime• Suitable for rough handling • Better reliability and quality• Withstands more extreme climatic conditions• Ensuring high X-ray performance• Less costly repairs or replacements

 Integrated X-ray beam indication

lasers

16

The center laser will ensure precise alignment when positioning the SMART EVO tube head, and it speeds up the workflow, saving time and cost by ensuring precision.

The laser indicates the beam center off set by 25 mm, and the laser diodes are controlled by a push button located on top of the SMART EVO tube head, enabling easy operation.

CENTER LASER

The SMART EVO tube head has an

outstanding thermal

performance, thanks to a

unique cooling principle

The air is forced along the

electronic module, the tube

tank, and the anode cooler,

ensuring active cooling of the

entire tube head, which supports

long term exposures

17

SMART EVO AIR COOLING

The SMART EVO 200P & 300P

variants marks a major leap

forward in high performance and

usability in the field of portable

X-ray systems 

18

SMART EVO 200P & 300P are both built to last and operate reliably even under the harshest conditions. They are superior in regards to thermal performance and environmental protection - and benefit from all the game changing advantages of the CONTROL EVO.

• Short exposure time due to 750 W X-ray output

• Extended mA compensation

• Lowered weight

 

SMART EVO PANORAMIC SERIES

The panoramic 38˚ x 360˚ X-ray beam makes the SMART EVO a perfect choice for weld seem inspection of cylindrical vessels and pipes. 

The units produces astonishing 750 watt X-ray power, made possible by the ground breaking new design of the anode cooler.

The SMART EVO 200P & 300P

variants marks a major leap

forward in high performance and

usability in the field of portable

X-ray systems

19

The mA maximum is 4.5 mA for SMART EVO 300P and 6.0 mA for SMART EVO 200P, allowing maximum X-ray power at low kV, ensuring the shortest exposure time possible - setting a new standard for the industry.

SMART EVO 300P has undergone a significant weight reduction and weighs now only 36 kg, making handling and transportation easier.

Six lasers indicates the center of the X-ray beam, making the positioning and alignment of the tube heads easy and accurate.

SMART EVO 200P & 300P

The three-part lead belt makes it easy to perform a

safe run-in

20

The re-engineered three-part lead belt is easy to mount and has as standard a 38˚ x 60˚ slit option allowing for directional use if required.

Each section has an easy lock functionality supporting smooth and easy attachment and detachment. If 360˚ beam is not needed, each section can be mounted separately, making it possible to achieve 120˚ or 240˚ beam coverage.

RE-ENGINEERED LEAD BELT

The weight of the lead belt is significantly optimized at 10.8 kg for the 300 kV version. The reduced weight and division into three sections ensures easier handling.

A fourth section with a 40˚ x 60˚ cut out is also included, to allow for directional use, in order to add flexibility and additional value to the X-ray system.

It´s backwards compatible and

future-proof

21

The new control unit works with both Y.SMART, Y.XPO and the EVO systems. Backwards compatibility preserves the value of existing equipment.

Managing both Y.SMART, Y.XPO and EVO technology, the CONTROL EVO meets all types of needs regarding future tube head developments.

The powerful processor, an advanced OS-system and Bluetooth, Ethernet and USB interfaces opens up for many new functionalities.
