The Waygate Technologies Eresco 42 MF4 is a robust and compact X-ray generator designed for industrial radiography , especially suitable for field use. With its fine 3 mm focus, it delivers sharp and precise images even at geometric magnification, penetrating up to 42 mm of steel with a 10 minute exposure.

Technical specification and features

• Voltage: 5 kV – 200 kV, continuous power of 900 W

• Focus size: 3 mm according to EN 12543 (approx. 1.5 in IEC context)

• Beam: Beryllium window with 40° × 60° elliptical beam pattern

• Tube: Air-cooled, gas-insulated metal-ceramic construction with tungsten anode

• Thermal Management: Optimized air cooling for 100% duty cycle at 30°C (up to 900W)

• Stability: Current and voltage stability of ±1%, providing consistent quality in radiography images

• Safety: Automatic real-time clock watch for heating, fault warning via built-in lamp, designed for field use under harsh environments

• Quality and certification: Manufactured according to ISO 9001, CE certified, and approved according to French NFC and German BfS standards

• Protection: Dustproof and waterproof (IP65), withstands -20 °C to +50 °C in operation, and -30 °C to +80 °C in storage

• Weight and size: Approx. 24.6 kg (without handle), with compact diameter (approx. 160 mm)

Benefits and uses

• Sharp resolution thanks to 3 mm focus — ideal for inspecting welds and composite materials

• High penetration (42 mm steel at 10 min exposure) provides flexibility in use

• Robust air-cooled design enables continuous operation, even in harsh field conditions

• Automatic warm-up and built-in safety features reduce the need for operator intervention
