Analogic Corp. [ALOG] says the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has certified the eXaminer XLB high-speed Explosives Detection System (EDS) for checked baggage screening. Analogic makes the core of the eXaminer EDS systems, which are marketed and distributed by L-3 Communications
[LLL]. The high-speed system, which also was certified this year to meet European Civil Aviation Conference Standard 3 detection requirements, can process over 1,200 bags per hour. “The system features Analogic’s PowerLink, the world’s first advanced non-contact power transfer system for computed tomography, completely removing the need for high-maintenance mechanical slip rings,” says Jim Green, the company’s president and CEO.
