Have you noticed the ever increasing bureaucracy on isotope sources?


If you’re in NDT, you’ve probably noticed it’s getting trickier (and pricier) to keep those isotopes in line. The EU keeps tightening the rules around isotope use, storage and transport. Safety matters. But for inspection companies, it’s becoming a full-time paperwork job.

Good news: you don’t need Selenium to get stellar weld inspection results anymore.

Meet the PXR GEN160-09 — a smart, compact X-ray generator that does an excellent job replacing Selenium in many applications for weld inspection.
No radioactive material. No special transport. No “where’s the license?” panic.

And that’s not all, it is not just about the safety. The image quality is hugely improved when swapping from large Selenium sources to a compact 0.9mm focal spot. Images suddenly become crisp instead of dreamy – just take a look on the attached image. Exposure time goes down, SNR and clarity goes way up. Can you guess which image is which?

Just clean, efficient imaging that keeps your team focused on the work, not the red tape.
