The Golden Engineering XRS-4 is a battery-powered pulsed X-ray generator engineered for security screening, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), industrial inspection, and field radiography where deep penetration and rugged performance are critical. Designed with a powerful high-voltage output in a field-ready chassis, the XRS-4 delivers industry-leading penetration and flexibility for challenging imaging tasks.
Maximum Penetration: Up to 370 kVp pulsed output, capable of imaging through more than 1.5 inches (≈3.8 cm) of steel when used with digital imaging systems — ideal for dense or complex targets.
Battery Powered & Portable: Operates from a DeWalt® 20 V Li-ion battery pack for true field mobility without the need for mains power.
Pulsed X-Ray Technology: Produces very short, high-intensity pulses (≈10 ns) that improve image clarity and reduce motion blur in digital or computed radiography workflows.
Rugged Construction: Durable aluminum housing with robust design features (including a bellows handle) for long operational life and resistance to field abuse.
Advanced Operator Interface: Menu-based software lets users adjust pulse rates, set pulse trains with rests, and monitor source usage.
Modular & Compatible: Designed for use with CR (computed radiography) and DR (digital radiography) systems, and includes standard remote triggering options for integration.
