GE Film Digitizer

FS50 / FS50B

GE Film Digitizers FS50 / FS50B

are designed to provide high-end per­formance in film digitizing, offering su­perior quality at high throughput. The
steel housing gives the robustness
needed for the industrial environment
of NDT applications. All standard film
formats can be digitized, up to a width
of 14 inch (35 cm), without length limi­tation in any resolution between 50 µm
and 500 µm. The FS50B is the first and
only digitizer on the market that can
handle the full density range (D = 0 up
to 4.70 D) in one working range with
the requested contrast sensitivity. This
makes the scanner meet the require­ments for class DS film digitizers, ac­cording to EN 14096 part 2. This clas­sification has been evaluated and con­firmed by BAM, the German Federal
Institute for Materials Research and
Testing.

The system employs a HeNe laser
beam, which sweeps across the film by
a polygon mirror system. The F-Teta
lens avoids distortions of the image, by
keeping the optical distance of the la­ser beam unchanged at all spots of the
scanned area. The logarithmic ampli­fication process guarantees high sig­nal to noise ratios up to 4.70 density
(FS50B).

Computed Radiography

Digital | Eddy Current | Film | Testing Machines | Ultrasonics | X-ray

Every scanner is calibrated and characterized at the time of ship­ment, and a unit-specific LUT is delivered with each machine. This
guarantees an artifact-free scanning at the highest possible preci­sion, repeatability and speed. A 14 x 17 inch film can be digitized
in as little as 7 seconds.

The cost-effective film digitization solution for anyone handling
archives, for easy image transfer or for using the advanced view­ing features of the GE Inspection Technologies system.
