1.1
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The
EPS 45-80 High-Voltage generator
is an
Advanced High Frequency X-ray Generator
designed
with a unique power inverter technology and modular conception.
As more power or custom features are needed, they are simply added using plug-in modules quickly
inserted to the generator's main core. The latter consists of an electronic controller driving an
encapsulated (oil-free) high-voltage unit. The generator comes in different configurations, best
suited to conventional RAD & Fluoro applications and to the latest digital procedures.
1.1.1
Main Characteristics of EPS 45-80 High-Voltage Generator
1.
The Epsilon
TM
technology achieves variable frequency operation at up to 240 kHz, producing
kV flatness waveform and outstanding rise time swiftness (see Figure 1.4, page 14).
•
This realization embodies important technological achievements designed with
innovative power switching inverter modules and a cascaded series of high frequency
power transformers embedded in a solid dielectric high voltage unit.
•
Extremely sharp kV waveform, with rise and fall times unparalleled in the industry,
achieves superior image quality and reduced soft radiation.
2.
A modular concept allowing large OEMs to efficiently manage the system configuration and
costs in order to compete successfully in today’s competitive world.
3.
Smart Inverter Management optimizing the life of Inverter boards.
4.
An exceptionally high
efficiency
which allows for less severe mains line impedance requirements.
5.
Universal Line Voltage Input, allowing simple worldwide installation.
6.
Self-diagnostic methods, using redundant circuits.
7.
Epsilon PC Tools
program used for installing, setting up and servicing the
Epsilon
High-
Voltage generator. The program features a system monitor mode, a history log and a statistics
register to record and track back important events occurring during the course of the generator
maintenance and normal operation.
8.
RS-232 (or CAN) software providing full flexibility for customer control.
9.
Automatic X-ray tube calibration.
