Issue 8 2022 Asset Management, Products & Solutions

Hissco’s HS 6040 DE is a compact, versatile security X-ray machine used in a wide range of applications, from airports, government buildings, banks and hotels, to correctional services and numerous other limited-space applications.

The HS 6040 is the most commonly deployed device on the market due to its high-definition imaging, upgradable in-the-field technology and easy-to-use operator interface.

In addition, Hissco offers a secondary version, the HS 6240, with a tunnel dimension of 620 x 420 mm. All equipment is manufactured under the strictest ISO 9001:2015 and CE standards, meeting both Swiss and German TUV approval. Approved and currently in use in numerous airports worldwide, the HS 6040 competes against the highest of international standards.

With ultra-high-definition detectors and cutting-edge micro photosensors developed specifically for Hissco, the HS 6040 DE offers picture-pure resolution, enabling seamless scanning of extremely thin objects placed on the belt, negating the need for obscurities such as search trays or buckets.

The HS 6040 achieves a minimum resolution value of 40 AWG (American Wire Gauge) guaranteed, and 42 AWG typical, with a steel penetration depth of up to 42 mm. The HS 6040 supports up to 500 000-image archiving, 100-image onscreen playback, and the ability to export data in a variety of formats to meet the needs of the client.
