Standar System Components
HESCO designs, manufactures and services S-band linear accelerators in both portable and stationary system configurations. Radiographic systems include 4, 6 & 9 MeV Models (HX4, HX6 & HX9) . Electron Beam devices are offered only in the 9 MeV Model (HE9). All HESCO PORTABLE accelerators are modular systems, consisting of nine (9) assemblies per machine.
Accelerator Assemblies
MODEL HX4, HX6, HX9 and HE9
1. Accelerator Head (4, 6 or 9 MeV)
2. X-ray Beam Collimators (set) *
3. E-Beam Scanning Horn **
4. Magnetron/R.F. Head
5. Modulator/Power Supply Unit
6. Control Console
7. Safety Interlock Unit
8. Heat Exchanger Unit
9. Cables, Hoses & Flexible Waveguide (set)*
10. Integral Shipping Containers (set)***
The system is designed to operate using a 4, 6
or 9 MeV Accelerator Head, using the same Magnetron/R.F. Head, Modulator/Power Supply Unit, Control Console, Safety Interlock Unit, Heat Exchanger Unit, Interconnecting Cables and Cooling Hoses.
* X-ray Beam Collimators are provided only with radiographic accelerators. The 9MeV system uses only a forward beam
(0 degree) collimator.
** Scanning Horns are provided only with E- Beam systems
*** Shipping Containers are provided only with portable systems.
Standard System Performance
HESCO linear accelerators offer a unique combination of power, reliability, portability, versatility and ruggedness, which add up to unparalleled performance and value. Each module is compact yet accessible, easy to use and maintain, and every set of Accelerator System Assemblies can be used with every Accelerator Head in the catalog. HESCO Systems are designed and manufactured with both operator and service technician in mind.
