Scandiflash systems can produce images that can see what cannot be seen with the naked eye. The flash X-Ray systems have been designed to capture dynamic events of up to km/second speeds. These systems also facilitate shadow imaging as well as processes inside materials and environments that are not accessible with optical methods.

Using these systems, users can see through both fire and smoke, as well as up to several centermeters of steel.
Flash X-Rays can be used in various applications, from granular mechanics, such as car crash studies, to hypervelocity impact studies, like the study of how space debris crashes into a satellite at 15 km/second. Using flash X-Ray technology, users can witness first-hand how the protective covering vaporizes. Based on the knowledge acquired from such images, new satellite protection can be developed.
Pär Gustafsson, CEO of Scandiflash, had this to say about the CR 35 NDT and why it is their ideal provider among Computed Radiography scanners:
“Scandiflash listened and learned from our customers. The result is a line of products with the robust precision a research team can depend on. The scanner, therefore, suits our demands and the demands of the flash X-Ray community, is robust, portable, can operate with flexible imaging plates, and has straightforward and easy-to-use software.
As many people use flash X-Ray systems in temporary setups where systems are moved within one site or between different sites, portability is a key feature. Dynamic events can induce shock waves, and the flexibility of the imaging plates that the DÜRR NDT system uses makes the setup less sensitive for these harsh experimental conditions compared to equipment based on stiff imaging plate cassettes.”
Pär Gustafsson was also asked about Scandiflash’s reason for collaborating with DÜRR NDT and said:
“A core value for Scandiflash is reliability. Scandiflash has a long-lasting relationship with DÜRR NDT. For Scandiflash, it is important to deliver a system that includes high-quality components, and the obvious choice for us is DÜRR NDT, which offers products and services that meet our demands and can support our customers pursuing their scientific and development goals. Ultimately, it is our customers’ results and success that counts for us”.
Pär Gustafsson went on to explain what Scandiflash enjoys most about the system:
“The overall ease of use of the CR 35 NDT scanner is something Scandifalsh values for all parts of our system as we aim to supply a user-friendly dynamic X-Ray imaging system to our customers. Additionally, Scandiflash users favor some features that are well supported within the DÜRR NDT CR scanning products, like when dynamic events demand long imaging plates for e.g., to capture different stages of high velocity moving objects where the DÜRR NDT design allows for scanning of > 1 m long imaging plates.”
DÜRR NDT is a proud partner of Scandiflash and is grateful to have an experienced distributor for CR scanners in the flash X-Ray division.
