Model 101ZZ - Open- and Closed-Tunnel Configurations: In addition to traditional transmission X-rays, the 101ZZ uses dual X-ray sources to produce Z Backscatter images of objects from both sides - without repositioning. The industry-leading open tunnel design (left) eliminates restrictions on the height of scanned objects.
101ZZ
  • Unique to the industry - 101ZZ maintains an open-tunnel configuration to scan over-sized and oddly shaped objects
  • Comprehensive explosive and contraband detection capability with dual X-ray sources to produce two photo-like Z® Backscatter images of both sides of the object under inspection - without repositioning
  • Combined technologies - simultaneous Transmission and Z Backscatter X-ray imaging - providing the most information to the operator about the object under examination

The U.S. Government knows the AS&E Advantage. U.S. Government agencies have deployed more than 100 Model 101Z and 101ZZ systems for numerous security applications around the globe.

The 101ZZ combines the powerful detection capabilities of Z Backscatter in combination with transmission X-rays with several additional features. The 101ZZ uses dual X-ray sources to produce Z Backscatter inspection of objects from both sides - without repositioning. This, combined with an additional monitor showing Transmission X-ray images, allows the inspection of high volumes of objects while maintaining the highest standards of threat detection.

The 101ZZ also offers an optional open-tunnel configuration that permits unrestricted object height. This makes the 101ZZ ideal for locations that must inspect a mixture of large and small objects alike.

Image Analysis Features

Density Expand: Density Expand allows the operator to adjust the contrast of the displayed image, thus enhancing differences in objects that may initially appear similar. (System is also equipped with Density Expand Lock, to maintain density setting for successive scans.)

Edge Enhancement: Edge Enhancement is a computer-based algorithm used to accentuate the edges of objects in the X-ray image, helping the operator to recognize anomalies faster and more readily.
Example: Sharpens and enhances thin wires associated with explosives.

Penetration: Penetration of 24 mm is provided. Extra penetration is available as an option.

Reverse Video: Reverse Video allows operators to enhance X-ray images by reversing polarity of white and black contrast.

Zoom: Zoom provides 2X, 4X and 8X magnification options with joystick control to roam continuously through full field of view. (System is also equipped with Zoom Lock.)
