Astrophysics Inc.

Astrophysics Inc. is a United States company that designs, builds and delivers x-ray scanners for security missions around the world. The scanners find hidden threats. They protect critical infrastructure, aviation, and ports and borders.

The company says its products are designed in the USA. It reports more than 45,000 systems in over 180 countries. It has done x-ray imaging research and development since 2002. The company also lists service hubs and certified service staff to support customers.

Aviation security is one of its three main markets. Checkpoint machines inspect backpacks, suitcases, purses and luggage so operators can spot threat items hidden in cluttered bags. They are used by airports and at TSA checkpoints. Hold baggage systems screen baggage, oversized luggage and shipping crates. Their modular design means they can be changed, reconfigured or linked together to fit existing security networks.

Cargo systems screen loose, bulk and palletized freight. They are built to meet the rules of aviation authorities including TSA, STAC and Air Canada. Airlines and cargo carriers use them to keep up with rising demand.

For mail and small parcels, compact scanners inspect letters, packages and postal items, as well as wallets, purses and backpacks. Their small size lets them work in places where larger systems do not fit. Product names include the XIS-6040 and the XIS-5335S.

Mobile scanners are vehicle-mounted units with large baggage tunnels. They can be set up fast in cities and rough terrain and moved as missions change. Vehicle and freight scanners are fully automated and check cars, trucks and cargo containers at ports, border crossings and cargo sites. Drivers stay in their vehicles, which helps traffic keep moving.

Astrophysics also offers customization of scanners, accessories and complementary products, plus artificial intelligence features. Its website is available in eleven languages, including Arabic, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
