Mobile flash X-Ray: Portability and fast results, anywhere!

4 Mar 2022 | Flash X-ray systems

Speed up your time-to-result with a Scandiflash Mobile flash X-ray Lab

A complete flash X-ray system in a 20-foot ISO container, ready to go: portable, fast, and flexible. Run your experiments anywhere and see your results faster than you can say “sex laxar i en laxask” (that’s an old Swedish tongue twister).

Portability: anywhere

Our transport-ready solution lets you take your lab wherever you need to go. For those using flash X-rays in extreme outdoor environments, whether it’s within or between sites, easy portability and safe storage are must-haves. The ultimate in portable solutions, our Mobile FXR Lab houses a complete flash X-ray system inside a transportable 20-foot ISO container, built on-demand and outfitted with the exact flash X-ray system required for your research. 

Everything your system needs is included in the Mobile FXR Lab. The system in its transport configuration is distributed in the C20 in such a way that the center of gravity coincides with the center of the container, as indicated by the red, green, and blue arrows in the illustration below. 

The Mobile FXR Lab is also an ideal solution for storing your instruments between tests.

Results: faster

Fast results are a top priority. The Mobile FXR Lab is a research center housed in a reinforced, insulated, and heated container – the C20. Your flash X-ray system can remain set up in the 20-foot ISO container ready to use at remote testing sites. Your instruments remain secured and safe, the system is quick and easy to set up and alter, so you can have more time for your research – that means faster results.

Flexibility: built in

Multiple access ports for flash X-ray tubes on two sides of the container make it easy to adjust and reconfigure for experiments. Each port has an easy mountable/dismountable rubber-sealed hatch to protect the interior of the container from the often harsh outdoor environment. 

Each pulser can be quickly adjusted in position based on the choice of access ports being used. They’re mounted on wheels and attached to the wall via guide rails located on the long sides of the C20.

Housing a flash X-ray system inside a container could be a real challenge with cables hanging about and laying on the floor. No worries. We’ve equipped the C20 with cabling guides and hangers for unused cables to ensure smooth operation and a safe working environment. Cabling feedthroughs are led through the wall via marked connector boards, which include connectors for the interlock safety system and cables allowing operation of the system via the control computer using an ethernet extension cable up to 2000 meters from the container.

The interior of the lab includes a fan for air circulation, a rugged durable aluminum floor and a work bench that can be used for temporary work and storage of system equipment. We’ve even included floor fastening points to secure items in place when moving the lab.

And did we mention that the container dimensions (LWH) are 20 x 8 x 8.5 ft (6.06 x 2.43 x 2.59 m) and that the C20 product is CE marked?

Choosing Scandiflash means you get a flash X-ray system that’s built to meet your needs both today and tomorrow as well as a team that’s ready to support you.
