Overview
The Wiseman XFL Series is a compact, high-stability DC-DC high-voltage power supply engineered exclusively for driving sealed and open-type X-ray tubes in precision physical property testing applications. Operating on the principle of zero-current resonant conversion, the XFL delivers tightly regulated negative high voltage—up to 130 kV—with exceptional long-term stability (<25 ppm/h) and ultra-low ripple (<0.1% peak-to-peak). Its architecture integrates a fully isolated, adjustable filament supply (0–10 V / 0–5 A) with preheat sequencing, enabling optimal thermionic emission control for both cathode-grounded and floating-filament tube configurations. Designed for OEM integration into online thickness gauges, XRF spectrometers, and industrial radiography systems, the XFL meets stringent requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), thermal robustness, and operational reliability under continuous duty cycles in factory-floor and laboratory environments.
Key Features
- High-voltage output range configurable from 20 kV to 130 kV in standard increments (20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 100, 130 kV), supporting diverse X-ray tube anode potentials and target materials.
- Dual-mode filament control: integrated adjustable DC filament supply with programmable preheat ramping, compatible with Kevex, Oxford, RTW, Varian, Trufocus, and domestic X-ray tube platforms.
- Triple-control architecture: local adjustment via precision multi-turn potentiometers; analog remote control via 0–10 V signals for voltage and current setpoints; and bidirectional digital communication via RS-232, RS-485, or USB 2.0 interfaces.
- Comprehensive protection suite: hardware-based overvoltage cutoff, current limiting, arc detection with auto-recovery, output short-circuit tolerance, and configurable safety interlock circuitry compliant with IEC 61010-1.
- Thermally optimized convection-cooled design: no fans or liquid cooling required; validated for uninterrupted operation at ambient temperatures up to +50 °C.
- High metrological fidelity: voltage and current monitoring outputs (0–10 V, ±1% accuracy at rated load); digital readback resolution ≤0.01% of full scale under USB/RS-485 control.
- Low-profile mechanical packaging: modular footprint optimized for embedded integration into portable XRF analyzers, inline steel strip gauges, and PCB inspection systems.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The XFL series is validated for use with commercially available microfocus and minifocus X-ray tubes requiring negative high-voltage bias—including models from Oxford Instruments, Spellman, Trufocus, and leading Chinese manufacturers. It supports both grounded-cathode and floating-filament topologies, ensuring compatibility with common X-ray generation geometries used in transmission radiography, backscatter fluorescence, and energy-dispersive XRF. From a regulatory standpoint, the module’s electrical isolation, creepage/clearance distances, and transient overvoltage category II rating align with IEC 61010-1 for measurement and control equipment. When integrated into final systems, it facilitates compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 (via optional audit-trail-enabled firmware), ISO/IEC 17025 (through traceable calibration protocols), and EU RoHS/REACH directives. All units undergo 100% burn-in and high-potential dielectric testing at 150% rated voltage prior to shipment.
Software & Data Management
Wiseman provides a Windows-based configuration utility (XFL-ConfigTool v3.x) supporting real-time parameter monitoring, waveform capture, and event-log export in CSV format. The utility enables firmware updates, interlock mapping, and user-defined alarm thresholds for voltage deviation, filament current drift, or arc frequency. For automated test systems, a comprehensive DLL and Python SDK are supplied—supporting synchronous command-response sequences, buffered acquisition triggers, and timestamped metadata embedding (including ambient temperature and supply voltage). When deployed in GLP/GMP environments, the system supports electronic signature workflows, operator-level access controls, and immutable audit trails meeting ALCOA+ principles. All digital interfaces comply with Modbus RTU (RS-485) and SCPI-like command syntax for seamless integration into LabVIEW, MATLAB, or custom MES platforms.
Applications
The XFL powers critical measurement functions across industrial QA/QC and scientific instrumentation: real-time thickness monitoring of cold-rolled steel strips (0–5 mm Fe), copper foil (≤0.1 mm), and polymer films in continuous production lines; elemental quantification in XRF-based scrap metal sorting and RoHS screening; density profiling in paper and nonwovens manufacturing; particle size distribution analysis via small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS); and high-resolution radiographic inspection of multilayer PCBs, weld joints, and aerospace composites. Its low noise and high stability make it suitable for synchrotron beamline pre-alignment sources, portable dental radiography units, and benchtop XRD diffractometers requiring <0.002° 2θ repeatability.
FAQ
What X-ray tube types are supported by the XFL series?
The XFL supports both cathode-grounded and floating-filament X-ray tubes—including Kevex, Oxford, RTW, Varian, Trufocus, and domestic equivalents—via its isolated negative HV output and independently adjustable filament supply.
Does the XFL meet medical device regulatory requirements?
While the XFL itself is not a Class II medical device, its design adheres to IEC 60601-1 collateral standards for applied parts insulation and leakage current limits; final system certification remains the OEM’s responsibility.
Can output voltage be modulated during exposure?
Yes—via analog 0–10 V input or digital command, voltage can be dynamically adjusted within ±0.1% resolution at rates up to 10 Hz without instability or overshoot.
Is calibration traceable to NIST or other national standards?
Each unit ships with a factory calibration certificate traceable to CNAS-accredited standards; optional UKAS/NIST-traceable recalibration services are available through Wiseman’s西安 lab.
What is the expected service life under continuous operation?
Rated for ≥20,000 hours MTBF at 70% load and 25 °C ambient; lifetime derates linearly above 40 °C per MIL-HDBK-217F predictions.
