Rotating Anode X-ray Tube Assembly

 High speed rotating anode X-ray tube assembly for high

energy radiographic and cine-fluoroscopic operations.

 The heavy anode is constructed with specially processed

Rhenium-tungsten faced molybdenum target which have
an improved coating to increase thermal emissivity.

 These tubes have foci 1.2 and 0.6, and are available for a
maximum tube voltage 150kV.

 Accommodated with IEC60526 type high-voltage cable

receptacles.
