Beyond the X-Ray Source: From Golden Engineering to the TRACELINE PX3 Digital Imaging System

A proven portable X-ray source is the starting point. TRACELINE™ PX3 turns it into a complete digital imaging workflow.

TRACELINE PX3 portable digital radiography system

Portable radiography in the field requires more than an X-ray generator. A practical system must bring together the source, detector, control platform, communication link and image-processing tools in a workflow that operators can deploy and review on site.

Golden Engineering provides the X-ray source. TRACELINE™ PX3 completes the digital imaging workflow.

A Proven Portable X-Ray Source Platform

Golden Engineering manufactures battery-powered pulsed X-ray generators for security and light industrial inspection. The range allows users to select a source according to portability, penetration and the inspection object.

XR200: compact 150 kV source.

XRS3: 270 kV source balancing portability and penetration.

XRS4: 370 kV source for higher-penetration applications.

Source selection should be based on the object material, thickness, required image quality and field conditions—not voltage alone.

PX3: From Source to Complete System

TRACELINE™ PX3 can be configured around compatible Golden Engineering generators and matched with different detector sizes, communication options and field accessories. The system is designed to bring the major parts of portable digital radiography into one coordinated platform.

Image examples illustrate digital radiography output. Detectability depends on the source, object geometry, material thickness, detector performance, exposure settings and inspection technique.

One Platform, Multiple Field Applications

Portable X-ray system for security and EOD inspection

Security, EOD and Field Screening

Suspicious objects, packages, closed containers and other items requiring non-invasive internal inspection in the field.

Portable digital radiography for industrial non-destructive testing

Field NDT and Infrastructure Inspection

Welds, castings, pipelines, structural components and utility fittings such as transmission line clamps.

PX3 may also be configured for customs inspection, forensic or fire investigation support and specialized infrastructure applications. The recommended configuration should always be based on the actual inspection object and operating environment.
