The Power of Rhythm

The new Rhythm RT DR Acquire provides additional
functionality for portable wireless detectors and allows
operators to acquire images in a non-proprietary and reliable
DICONDE format.
A new wireless—dashboard for ease of operations and
troubleshooting includes tools to determine detector
connectivity and to monitor relevant conditions such as wireless
signal strength or battery status. New acquisition modes such
as synchronized operation for pulsed X-ray sources and
increased exposure time per frame to up to 150 sec, enables
the detector to expand in new applications.

Together with Rhythm Review the entire portfolio of image

enhancement-, administration-, reporting- and archive-modules
can be accessed on one DICONDE compliant platform
(Enterprise Archive, Flash!Filters, Wall Thickness-Measurement,
Report Generators, etc. ) and adapted to the individual customer
workflow and application needs.

DXR250U-W: Optimized for a wide range of radiographic inspections

The DXR250U-W builds up on the established application space of GE’s

portable 16x16” detector series DXR250V. The new detector utilizes the
same wireless and battery technology of the DXR250C-W. This extends
the use to a versatile digital inspection system especially for medium
to larger objects.

Optimized battery, wireless technology and packaged for the toughest environments, the DXR250U-W will
deliver additional productivity for radiography inspections in the field. DXR250U-W is fully compatible to
most DXR250C-W accessories and Rhythm installations.

Even with a larger imager size of 16”x16” the detector
weighs only 5 kg (11 lbs) and has a thickness of only
26 mm (1.02”). The detector can be used for a wide range
of radiographic applications covering medium to large
sized objects. Extended by its wireless capabilities and
the portable design, the detector is qualified as
universal inpection device for a broad range of industrial
inspections in the field.
