PowerLink Non-Contact Power Technology

Lowest Cost, Highest Reliability CT Power System

Analogic’s revolutionary PowerLink™ Non-Contact Power system transfers power from the stationary gantry to the rotating disc without brush contacts. A truly enabling technology, the PowerLink eliminates limitations of today’s rotating gantry systems, such as component failures resulting from the brush slip-ring designs.

We’ve already incorporated PowerLink into our CT-based ultra-high-speed Explosives Detection Systems, the examiner XLB, for airport checked-baggage applications in very large, heavily traveled airports. This technology will enable longer intervals between maintenance and eventually lead to longer overall system life.
