50-75W Industrial X-Ray Generators

The MNX Series is the result of Spellman’s exceptional high voltage packaging and surface mount fabrication techniques coupled with proprietary encapsulation technology producing this ultra-compact X-Ray generator module. The MNX powers grounded cathode X-Ray tubes from a variety of well-known manufacturers, featuring a 0 to 50kV/65kV high voltage output @ 2mA limited to 50, 65 or 75 Watts. The MNX uses closed loop filament control circuitry providing highly regulated beam current. The ground referenced low noise dc filament supply operates between 0.3 and 3.5 amps. Offering tight regulation, high stability and low ripple, the MNX provides users local and remote analog control to set beam voltage, emission current and filament current limit.

Typical applications:

The MNX is designed to run a variety of tubes from industry leading manufacturers. Contact Spellman sales to determine if the X-Ray tube of interest can be powered by the MNX.
