The Hi-Scan 6040-2is is a dual-view X-ray inspection system for the automatic detection of liquid explosives at security checkpoints where bags and personal belongings are screened. Its compact footprint, combined with excellent image quality and outstanding X-ray penetration, enhances the comprehensive range of Smiths Detection products and solutions for aviation checkpoints.

As a Standard 3 machine, Hi-Scan 6040-2is features higher detection capabilities designed to reveal hazardous liquids in cabin baggage, thus enhancing the level of security at checkpoints. In addition, fewer bags are subject to additional re-inspection which speeds up the entire inspection process.

Barrie Foley, Vice President EMEA of Smiths Detection, said: "Hi-Scan 6040-2is HR is one of our newest products on the aviation market. We are proud that it is the first dual-view X-ray system in the world to achieve this standard. Thanks to the extended approval, the system offers particularly good value for money. "

Smiths Detection offers advanced security solutions in civil and military markets worldwide, developing and manufacturing government-regulated technology products that help detect and identify explosives, chemical and biological agents, radiological and nuclear threats, weapons, narcotics and contraband.
