GE
Inspection Technologies Robust, Reliable and Highly Accurate Stationary
X-ray Generators for the Widest Range of Applications.
The Reference Class for X-ray generators is based on the proven
ISOVOLT platform, which offers more than 25 years experience
with thousands of installations across the world.
Designed for radiography, radioscopy, radiometry and life-science
applications, which place the highest demands on reliability and
exposure quality, the range of Titan E generators and accessories
meets the different degrees of automation and customization,
required throughout the industrial and scientific sectors.
A wide range of systems is provided. Generators and tubes can be
160 kV, 225 kV, 320 kV, 420 kV or 450 kV, and can be operated
from as low as 5 kV or a current range exceeding up to 45 mA*.
Titan E control is a modern, state-of-the-art industrial control module
for fail-safe and intuitive system operation.
A powerful range of suitable accessories complements the
integration and application capabilities for all facets of industrial
or scientific environments.

Highest device availability
Continuous improvements on critical system
parameters to increase robustness and resistance
against external influences, guarantee high system
up-times that give the operator steady revenue streams and
perfect time utilization.
Stackable and modular design allows easy field service.
Automatic event recording provide instant information for
process control and system diagnosis either on site or via optional
remote access.
Selected tubes feature maintenance-free High voltage
connections, ensuring highest productivity, while minimizing
operational risks.
Fully automated tube warm-up procedures safeguard tube
operation and ensure maximum tube life.
Flexible usage
Built for a wide range of applications in different
environmental conditions, Titan E generator solutions
are for all NDT needs, life science applications and
also measurement and calibration tasks.
Titan E is available in 3-phase, 400 V or single-phase, 230 V input
power rating. As a result easy integration into different power
environments without regional limitations is possible.
Unique Features at a Glance
Highest exposure quality
A reproducibility of ± 0.01 % for tube current (mA) and
tube voltage (kV) provides highest possible stability of
radiation dose rate with fluctuations < 0.05 %.
This excellent dose reproducibility fits both, Titan E applications
that demand the highest accuracy, such as calibration of
detectors or dosimeters, as well as radiography applications.
Extremely low ripple ensures outstandingly stable High Voltage for
optimized material penetration with excellent efficiency factors.
The extended tube range of 5 kV to 450 kV in conjunction with the
excellent maximum current of 45 mA, ensures optimized imaging
contrast and very high penetration power. This results in short
exposure times in various operation modes for different material.
Highest device performance
Rugged generator design with intelligent tube
integration and permanent system monitoring,
ensure highest performance, from peaked
intermittent, up to permanent 24/7 operation. This results in
consistent performance over various exposure modes and
operation conditions.
Unmatched ramp-up times (< 1.5 sec) support applications
requiring fast inspection cycles*.
100% duty cycle, for continuous operation in in-line systems.
Optimized equipment performance results in increased
productivity and reduced total cost of ownership.
Smart user interaction
The stand-alone control module is available in both, a
rugged and ergonomic desktop housing, and also as
19 adapter version, for easy control-desk integration.
The design permits intuitive and fatigue-proof operation through
a large graphical display, rotary knob control, function keys and a
keypad for fast and direct inputs.
The control interacts with the operator in clear text with four
international character sets and 16 languages.
Intelligent and safe operation
Automatic tube configuration in conjunction with real
time clock powered automated warm-up procedures
enhance operational safety and maximize equipment
lifetime.
On board electronics feature reserved memory for up to 250
programmable operation modes, records of the last 128 warm-up
cycles and 512 operation event-logs and a structured setup menu
for individual performance settings.
Built in safety features such as redundant interlock monitoring,
cooling flow rate watchdog signals, operating temperature and
other system status information are visible on the operation display.
This leads to instant recognition of system status and health.

Easy to integrate
The Titan E considers typical OEM needs, providing kits,
interfaces and protocols for all kinds of industrial
system integration (RS 232, Profibus).
It allows full external control of X-ray equipment and simplifies
remote visualization even without connecting the control module.
Extension of diagnosis capabilities by remote access via Internet or
dial-up line is available as an option. Titan E Control
A user-friendly, multi-language control features a clear
full-graphical display, that allows simultaneous readings of set
and actual operating parameters. Embedded in an ergonomic
and rugged desktop or optional 19 rack mounting housing, full
control for X-ray operation is established. Intuitive guidance
through diverse menus as well as unmistakable messages for
clear interventions are provided with this module.
The operating concept provides interaction with turning speed
sensitive rotary knob, function keys, a numberic keypad and
safety relevant buttons for X-ray operation as well as a key switch.
The multifunctional rotary knob can be used to set kV, mA,
exposure time and several configuration settings.
By a progressive change of voltage and current via rotary knob
the kV and mA settings can be accurately changed with different
granulations of 0.1kV / 1 kV / 10 kV respectively 0.01 mA (if
enabled) / 0.1 mA / 1 mA. This allows optimized one-hand
operation for radioscopy and many other applications.
Features such as free configurable exposure programmes, or
special programmes for constant power, constant current and
manual operation cater for individual demands for radiographic
or radioscopic inspections. The multi-lingual user display with
16 different languages and extended character sets for Japanese,
Cyrillic and Chinese enables comprehensible and simple interaction.
Optional, the entire system control with graphical visualization
can be done via a stand-alone PC based platform.
Titan E provides automatic and manual warm-up modes for
optimized tube conditioning. A special extended warm-up mode
safeguards tube performance under severe conditions and setups.
