Overview

The Kowolux X3 Series are high-end film viewers designed for evaluation of long X-ray film strips of weld seams or roll films when used with the Kowospool spooling device accessory. It features a luminance of 320,000 Cd/m² and a 3.2" x 17.8" viewing screen, as well as an Economy version with a luminance of 200,000 Cd/m². Powerful LEDs and a variety of accessories makes this indestructible, German made film viewer easy to use with a range of films.

Key Differences:

Designed for Film Strips or Roll Films
High Intensity - 320,000 Cd/m²

Features

3.2" x 17.8" Viewing Screen, ideal for film strips and roll film
320,000 Cd/m² - High Intensity
Corrosion resistant, strong and high quality stainless steel housing
Viewing screen is made of crystal glass with 95% translucency and an anti-reflective coating, which is thermally cured
Plug-in foot switch – plug screw-secured – operable without foot switch (with optional operation plug)
Two controls for brightness - 1%-100%
Efficient LEDs - Heat generation and power consumption is reduced by 80% compared to Halogen lamps and is more cost effective with a 40,000 hour lifespan
Higher contrast helps inspection personnel to find defects and discontinuities easily without vision fatigue and high luminance makes it possible to view very dark films without destroying them
Cooling fan with temperature dependent speed control - low noise level
Changeable filter in the cooling air in-let
Interchangeable masks for different film sizes
Mounting threads in side panels – for mounting loading device for roll films or a densitometer holder
