Cambridge, UK, May 2006 - In response to the 2005 bombings on the London Underground and the increased need for security checks of suspicious or unattended items, UK manufacturers SCANNA have introduced two inexpensive robust flat panel x-ray imagers- SCANWEDGE 2520 and SCANWEDGE 2533. Both units were showcased at this year’s IFSEC 2006.

Developed for fast portable x-ray screening in tough Law Enforcement and EOD environments, SCANWEDGE imagers have a unique flat panel design which allows them to be used from different orientations and in even the most confined spaces.

The smaller SCANWEDGE 2520 is a very compact unit with a flat imaging area of 25 cm x 20 cm while the SCANWEDGE 2533 provides more than 50% coverage than other conventional portable x-ray systems in its class with an imaging area of 25cm x 33 cm (10 x 13”).

IFSEC hosted over 700 of the world’s leading security suppliers launching and demonstrating thousands of the latest products and services to the market when it took place from 8-11 May 2006 at the Birmingham NEC, UK.
