<strong>BREAKTHROUGH</strong> <strong>IN</strong> X-<strong>RAY</strong> <strong>DIFFRACTION</strong> <strong>GENERATORS</strong>!<br />
18 kW X-ray Generator<br />
with Tabletop Rotating Anode X-ray Tube Assembly<br />
<strong>Rigaku</strong> makes another breakthrough: The ultraX 18 - a powerful, high-frequency 18kW X-ray generator<br />
with the first movable tabletop anode assembly. The design emphasizes flexibility, high stability and<br />
maintenance-free operation. Customization of the height and position requirements is simplified.<br />
The ultraX 18 can be configured horizontally or vertically depending on the type of X-ray tube used. Both<br />
types of tube configurations can take full advantage of the compact, desktop design. The ultraX can be<br />
configured horizontally or vertically depending on the required take off angle direction. The vertical type<br />
configuration allows simultaneous use of a point focus port and a line focus port. It can also have an<br />
additional third port. The horizontal configuration provides two ports which are easily converted from line<br />
to point focus. Two types of cabinets are available for either configuration. A standard table, of a<br />
breadboard design, will mount the anode housing in any position. If a remote mount is required, a tall<br />
space saving cabinet can be obtained.<br />

Features:<br />
A Compact Tabletop Rotating Anode Tube Housing<br />
• The X-ray tube, high-voltage induction unit and main vacuum system are compactly assembled on the<br />
top of the worktable.<br />
• The X-ray tube position is easily adjustable for different optical configurations<br />
• The small-sized high voltage induction unit makes it possible to bring the optical system closer to the<br />
X-ray source.<br />
• The X-ray tube in one compact body permits rapid start-up of the entire system. (Cubic volume of the<br />
tube interior and the total tube height : Approx. 1/2 of the <strong>Rigaku</strong> existing model, respectively)<br />

A New Electron Gun<br />
• Electric field simulation was utilized in the design of the electron gun and the X-ray tube interior to<br />
minimize discharge and provide great stability.<br />
• Filament replacement and the installation and removal of the electron gun are straightforward.<br />
A New Direct-Drive Rotating Anode Assembly<br />
• A highly reliable mechanical seal is employed to eliminate potential water leaks.<br />
• The use of a long-life ceramic ball bearing offers low vibration and low noise.<br />
• A new magnetic fluid seal provides high rotation capability, low torque and a long life.<br />
• The smaller overall size and reduce weight make handling easy.<br />
