for your security mission

Astrophysics Inc. is a security company built on creative innovation. We go above and beyond to create customized security solutions for our customers, resulting in more than 50% of our products being built to order – an unprecedented industry record.

a robust selection of optional features

Astrophysics’ x-ray scanners can include the following optional features

8-colour imaging

Astrophysics proprietary software that enhances an operator's ability to discriminate between scanned materials based on their chemical composition and density.

Upgraded conveyor capacity

Increases the load the conveyor can support.

Enhanced Imaging

Software that automatically optimizes x-ray scans in real-time, eliminating the need for operators to apply imaging features manually.

kits

Environmental Kit

Ensures systems are able to operate in extreme climates. Astrophysics offers two environmental kits: the Polar Kit and the Tropical Kit. The Polar Kit features a generator-mounted heating pad. The Tropical Kit includes an additional fan and multiple humidity control devices.

Mobility Kit

Includes heavy-duty caster wheels, handles, and a monitor mount. Allows operators to move the x-ray scanner over uneven floors and redeploy it at a new location. Kit can be tailored to customer specifications.

Test Kit

Enables customers to perform on-site system checks on system performance and reliability.

Footmat Kit

Uses an “interlock” to ensure the operator is present whenever the system is active, to prevent the system from operating in an unsafe condition. Operations trigger the interlock by stepping onto the mat.

Mobile Stand

A mobile monitor stand that allows operators to screen bags in areas with limited space.

workstation

Supervisor Workstation

Monitor, keyboard, mouse, work table and computer that allows supervisors and administrators to concurrently monitor multiple x-ray systems.

Suspect Workstation

Allows screeners to conduct additional analysis of suspicious objects and control workflow, for maximum efficiency at every checkpoint. It is attached to the system via Ethernet cable and can be situated at distances greater than 5 meters (15′).

Remote Table-Mounted Station

Maintains full control of the system and provides greater flexibility when designing the overall layout of a screening area. Connects to the X-Ray Inspection System via Ethernet cable and can b operated at a distance of up to 5 meters (15′) away. A table-mounted station comes standard on the XIS-7858 and larger.

Secondary Review Station

AOCP, monitor, computer, and work table that allow a second set of operators or supervisors to review and evaluate scanned images.

Remote Operator Station

Advanced Operator Control Panel (AOCP), monitor and work table that connect to the scanner via Ethernet cable at a distance of up to 5 meters (15 feet).

Remote Workstation

Secondary workstations that allow operators and supervisors to manage x-ray scanners from a distance and can be added to any Astrophysics scanner.

conveyor

Motorized Conveyor Extensions

Helps move bags through the system, process larger objects, provides longer clearance, and more baggage storage.

Extended Tunnel

Lengthened entry and exit tunnels that protect civilians and prevent them from reaching into the scanner while it is in operation.

Upgraded Conveyor Capacity

Increase the load the conveyor can support.

Upgraded Conveyor Belt Speed

Upgrades the conveyor motor for faster speed.

Extended Conveyor

Attachments for the entry and exit tunnels that offer longer clearance and help operators scan larger and heavier objects.

miscellaneous

Radiation Meter

Allows operators to perform onsite safety checks and ensure compliance with radiation safety regulations.

Waterproof Catchtray

Protects the system’s electronics from liquid damage. Allows users to keep liquids in their bags during screening.

CBT Lite

A condensed Computer-Based Training program that improves operator skill. Used exclusively on Astrophysics x-ray scanners.

Density Alert

Highlights potential threats by indicating impenetrable or dense objects in red, ensuring operators are alerted to their presence.

software

Local Language Support

Astrophysics can provide AOCP manual and operator interface software in multiple languages, including Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.

Screener Assist

Aids operators in identifying difficult threats, such as explosives or narcotics, which can commonly be mistaken for other organic materials.

Threat Image Projection (TIP)

Software system that periodically inserts a threat object into scanned images to evaluate operators’ screening abilities and test their effectiveness.
