I have a friend who has a working Faxitron X-ray unit (see attached picture):
Faxitron CS-100AC X-Ray Machine (92 KV @ 100 mA) with a Focal Spot: 8 micron, Xray Tube: Stationary anode, end window construction, w/ Beryllium window (0.127mm thick) & 46° (beam angle) Maximum board size: 18"x24" Real Time Image Resolution: >26-50 line pairs/mm (magnification dependent) Camera Type: High Resolution CCD Camera with 6:1 Motorized Zoom Lens Equipped with: Electronic "Z Axis" X-ray tube adjustment (affects FOV = Field of View, Magnification, Resolution, Electronic "Z Axis" detector motion (expands FOV range & sensitivity) Equipped with Rotation & Tilt Fixture Laser Pointer Cabinet w/casters, leveling pads, lockable storage area, & pull-out printer shelf = 1250 Pounds. Last safety inspection: May 2010.
I believe he got it as a surplus unit. He's interested in selling it, but has no idea what it's worth (and you don't need to suggest he search ebay, as he's an expert ebay seller and has been looking for a week). It appears that it was once used as an inspection device for PC boards.
I have two questions for the folks here:
1. Do any of you have any experience with this device? If so, what is it typically used for?
2. Do you have any suggestions as to what the unit would be worth?
