HI-SCAN 10080 XCT

The HI-SCAN 10080 XCT is a computed tomography explosives detection system engineered for inline hold baggage screening (HBS) conveyor integration at large airports. It uses a full CT gantry to build three-dimensional density reconstructions of every item, enabling automatic explosives detection algorithms to analyse volumetric material signatures — the same physical basis as medical CT — rather than projected 2D shadows. The 1,070 mm × 810 mm tunnel accommodates oversize bags and cargo parcels that would block a smaller tunnel, and an out-of-gauge version extends item length capacity to 3,800 mm.

The system runs at 100% X-ray duty cycle and supports belt speeds up to 0.5 m/s, reaching throughput of 1,800 items per hour. These figures make it compatible with the peak-period demands of a primary international departure baggage hall, where sustained throughput at high detection performance is the governing design constraint.

Approvals include EU/ECAC EDS Standard 3.0 and 3.1, and TSA laboratory certification for high-speed checked baggage screening — the two dominant regulatory frameworks for airport EDS procurement globally. The TSA also approved the system for air cargo screening on the Air Cargo Screening Technology List (ACSTL).

Within the portfolio this system is the established CT HBS solution; the SDX 10080 SCT represents the forward-looking successor designed for future ECAC Standard 4 readiness. The XCT remains the volume procurement choice for airports implementing Standard 3 compliance on current HBS conveyor infrastructure.
