The Golden Engineering XR200 is a battery-powered, portable pulsed X-ray generator trusted by security, military, law enforcement, bomb squads, and industrial inspection teams for field radiography and non-destructive testing. Its rugged, single-package design, modular serviceability, and reliable performance make it ideal for remote and demanding environments where traditional fixed X-ray systems are impractical. 


Key Features

  • Portable Battery-Powered Operation: Runs on a DeWalt® battery pack (widely available worldwide), offering true field capability without external power. 

  • High-Energy Output: Generates up to 150 kV X-rays — capable of radiographing a variety of materials including organic and industrial objects. 

  • Pulsed X-Ray Performance: Rapid pulsing at up to 25 pulses per second, making it one of the fastest Golden Engineering models. 

  • Modular & Serviceable: Field-replaceable X-ray tube and modular components allow easy maintenance and extended service life. 

  • The Golden Engineering XRS-3 is a high-performance, battery-powered pulsed X-ray generator built for security, EOD, industrial inspection, and law enforcement applications where deeper material penetration and mobility are essential. Offering significant penetrative capability in a compact, rugged package, the XRS-3 is one of Golden Engineering’s most versatile portable radiography systems. 


    Key Features

    • High Penetration Output: Delivers up to 270 kV of pulsed X-ray energy, capable of radiographing up to 1 inch (~2.5 cm) of steel under compatible imaging systems. 

    • Battery Powered: Uses DeWalt® 18 V–20 V Li-ion batteries for true field portability without reliance on mains power. 

    • Compact & Lightweight: Weighs approximately 11.8 lb (5.3 kg) including battery, making it easy to transport and deploy in remote or tight locations. 

    • Pulsed X-Ray Technology: Produces short, high-intensity pulses (~25 ns) ideal for capturing clear radiographic images with digital or analog imaging systems. 

    • Battery Interchangeability: Compatible with commonly available tool batteries, allowing users to carry spares easily and reduce downtime. 

    • Built for Harsh Environments: Designed to withstand extreme conditions — from desert heat to arctic cold — with reliable performance.
