Fastest train scanner opened

The Eagle®R60HS has been designed to help detect and identify a wide range of threats and suspect materials including contraband goods such as drugs and cigarettes. Using a high power 6 MeV X-Ray source, a clear and unambiguous x-image of even the densest rail cargo is produced, with a forty foot container x-rayed in 0.8 of a second.

Offering a high speed, efficient solution to cargo screening, containers do not have to be unloaded or diverted individually to a cargo inspection facility; instead they are screened during the normal movement of cargo, vastly increasing the speed of cargo throughput. Trains can be diesel, electric (overhead or rail).

Communications technology means that the R60 system is a fully automated operation without inspectors positioned on site, the resulting X-Ray image analysis is performed by trained operators, within an Inspection Office, in the heart of the Port some kilometres away from the scanner. The system requires only one person to monitor the screening process, with sophisticated operational and safety systems’ guaranteeing the solution is safe for the rail crew and drivers. This array of failsafe systems ensures that only cargo containers are scanned.
