Medical Thyratrons
-
Teledyne e2v has been designing and building thyratrons used in Radiotherapy for over 60 years. The healthcare market demands the highest levels of trust, quality and security of supply.Our RF Power products can be found in over 90% of the world's Radiotherapy treatment machines, helping to improve and save people's lives every minute of the day.We have strong long-term relationships with the global manufacturing base for Radiotherapy machines and are the established market leader for the supply of medical thyratrons; generating the microwave power required for the radiation treatment of tumours.More recently, our technical support for Hospital Engineers has extended into online training, technical FAQ support and bespoke conference events.

Thyratrons and Accessories
-
Cargo scanning is a broad term which encompasses intelligent logistics, sniffer dogs and X-ray inspection. X-ray inspection systems offer rapid, non-invasive checking of manifests, detection of contraband, and when combined with other techniques, can be used to identify the presence of nuclear material. X-ray energies up to 10 MeV are required to penetrate fully loaded shipping containers and vehicles. These X-rays are generated through the acceleration of electrons along a linear accelerator into a target using megawatt energy microwave pulses produced by the RF sub-system.The skills for the design, manufacture and integration of specialised components for low-cost systems reside mainly in commercial companies. There is an emerging trend for linac system companies to demand higher performance from their integrated RF sub-systems.Currently, we intend not only to drive the innovation and development in this area, but also to offer integrated RF sub-systems to meet new requirements such as, portability, material discrimination and higher throughput.

Thyratrons, Ignitrons & Spark Gaps
-
High power switches such as ignitrons, thyratrons, and spark gaps require unique high power triggering systems. Our triggers can all operate from 5 mA/5 V sources and/or fiber optic inputs.
