Sentry Portal: New advanced, high-throughput, high-penetration, drive-through inspection system. The system is safe for drivers and operators and offers the unique combination of high-penetration capability with unsurpassed image quality.

OmniView Gantry: The only multi-view relocatable system available today that combines high-energy transmission inspection plus multiple Z Backscatter X-ray views. The system’s combination of technologies delivers the most reliable means of detecting contraband and threatening materials such as weapons and explosives hidden in cargo containers, tankers, and large vehicles.

Z Portal®: Cargo and vehicle screening system offers high-throughput, drive-through, multi-view screening for cars, vans, and their cargo with Z Backscatter imaging. The system is safe for drivers and passengers to remain in their vehicle during screening.

Z Gantry: Cargo and vehicle screening system offers bi-directional, multi-view Z Backscatter scanning by moving on rails for screening cargo and vehicles. The Z Gantry is ideal for high-traffic locations with space constraints and is extremely safe for operators, cargo, and the environment.

Z Backscatter Van (ZBV): The most maneuverable, versatile mobile X-ray detection system on the market; a low cost highly mobile screening system built into a commercially available delivery van, offering rapid “drive-by” Z Backscatter screening.

Gemini multi-technology parcel X-ray inspection systems combine Z Backscatter technology for enhanced detection of organic materials, with dual-energy transmission for outstanding image quality for the most information available about the contents of a parcel. Gemini systems are available in multiple tunnel sizes.
