Golden Engineering Portable X-Ray Generators
Battery-Powered Pulsed X-Ray Generators for Field Inspection
Golden Engineering portable X-ray generators are designed for professional security, EOD, forensic, fire investigation and light industrial inspection applications.
Based on pulsed X-ray technology, these generators produce a high-intensity X-ray burst in a very short duration. Their compact single-package design integrates the battery pack, high-voltage head, tube and electronic controls into a portable field generator.
As a Golden Engineering distributor, HDX International can support generator model selection and provide separate HDX system integration options when a complete portable X-ray imaging solution is required.
Pulsed X-Ray Technology
Short-duration high-intensity X-ray pulses for portable radiographic inspection.
Battery Powered
Selected models use commercially available DeWalt battery packs.
Generator Source
Golden Engineering supplies the pulsed X-ray generator; imaging components are configured separately.
Technology
Why Pulsed X-Ray Generators Are Practical for Field Operation
Golden Engineering generators are designed around pulsed X-ray output, compact packaging and simple field deployment, making them suitable for mobile inspection tasks where portability and rapid setup are important.
10–50ns
Short Pulse Duration
Pulsed X-ray bursts are generated in extremely short durations, depending on the model.
150–370kVp
Model Range
Available models cover compact 150 kVp units through higher-output 270 kVp and 370 kVp generators.
Single Unit
Integrated Package
Battery, tube, high-voltage head and electronic controls are integrated into a portable generator body.
No Source
No Radioactive Material
The generator emits ionizing radiation only when pulsing and does not contain radioactive source material.
Applications
Professional Applications Across Security, Forensics and NDT
Golden Engineering generators are used with suitable imaging systems to inspect inanimate objects non-destructively in field and industrial environments.
Security & EOD Inspection
Suitable for inspecting suspicious objects, unattended packages and other security-related targets where fast, portable X-ray imaging is required.
Forensic & Fire Investigation
Supports non-invasive examination of evidence, fire debris and internal structures before physical handling or further laboratory analysis.
Light Industrial NDT
Used for non-destructive inspection of selected components, assemblies and materials where portable digital radiography is preferred.
Product Line
Golden Engineering Generator Models
Choose the generator model according to the required penetration, object size, application environment and imaging configuration.
XR200
150 kVp Compact ModelThe XR200 is a 150 kVp battery-powered pulsed X-ray generator for security and light industrial applications. According to Golden Engineering documentation, it can radiograph up to approximately 1/2 inch of steel under specified conditions.
Suitable for compact field inspection tasks where portability and quick deployment are key priorities.
XRS3
270 kVp Versatile ModelThe XRS3 is a 270 kVp battery-powered pulsed X-ray generator for applications requiring greater penetration than lower-kVp models. Golden Engineering describes the XRS3 as weighing less than 13 pounds and capable of radiographing up to 1 inch of steel under specified conditions.
A practical choice for users who need higher output while maintaining strong portability.
XRS4
370 kVp High-Output ModelThe XRS4 is a 370 kVp battery-powered pulsed X-ray generator designed for higher penetration requirements. Golden Engineering describes it as weighing 19 pounds and capable of penetrating more than 1.5 inches of steel under specified conditions.
Recommended for more demanding security and industrial inspection scenarios where higher penetration is required.
Imaging Results
Portable X-Ray Imaging Samples
When paired with a suitable digital detector and imaging software, Golden Engineering generators can support portable radiographic inspection. Detector, software and workstation are not part of the Golden generator itself and can be configured separately when a complete HDX imaging solution is required. Actual image quality and penetration depend on the generator model, detector, exposure settings, object material and inspection conditions.
Golden Generator Supply with Optional HDX System Integration
Golden Engineering products are supplied as portable pulsed X-ray generators. When customers require a complete portable X-ray imaging system, HDX International can separately configure compatible digital detectors, imaging software, rugged workstations, cables and transport cases as part of an HDX integrated solution.
