Detection Technology, a global supplier of X-ray detector solutions, has announced the launch of its AVA product family, a new line of modular line-scan detectors optimized for diverse imaging needs. The series offers scalable performance options — from value-level to premium line scanners — serving applications in urban and aviation security, logistics, mining, and material sorting.
The AVA detectors are available as complete subsystems, including detector boards, data combiner boards, software libraries, and accessories, providing a turnkey solution for integrators and system manufacturers.
Simplified Design and Dual-Energy Architecture
The AVA platform combines a simplified hardware design with on-chip algorithms and a cross-platform Application Programming Interface (DT API) compatible with Windows, Linux, and ARM systems.
Key to its performance is a dual-energy architecture that integrates two scintillator layers with an optimized embedded filter on a single PCB. This configuration enables dual-energy discrimination while cutting material use by 40%, improving robustness and connection stability with fewer mechanical and electrical interfaces.
Performance Across Application Segments
The AVA family spans several detector configurations tailored for specific imaging needs:
- Value-segment detectors: Utilize optimized scintillator structures to improve image quality and cost efficiency while minimizing material use.
- Multi-row TDI (Time Delay Integration) detectors: Support high-speed scanning with sharp, high-contrast images for demanding environments such as logistics and e-commerce.
Each system is engineered for compactness, durability, and ease of integration into existing imaging setups. Designed to perform reliably in harsh conditions, the detectors also contribute to energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint.
Optimized Imaging and Lower Total Cost
“Our detector board platform enables both significant cost efficiency and application-optimized imaging performance,” said Tomi Fält, Director of Product Management at Detection Technology. “By combining simplified hardware design with advanced algorithms and a fully digitalized data path, the AVA product family helps our customers accelerate time-to-market while lowering total system costs. In the value segment, customers can achieve cost savings of up to 50% without compromising imaging performance.”
Global Availability and Support
The AVA line is available worldwide, supported by Detection Technology’s engineering and service network. Its modular and scalable design allows shorter time-to-market, simplified maintenance, and extended system lifetime.
With this release, Detection Technology reinforces its position as a global partner in X-ray imaging, addressing the growing demand efficient, scalable, and sustainable inspection systems.
