Detection Technology expands its extra-large flat panel detector series with high-speed X-Panel 4386
Detection Technology Plc press release 15 June 2026 at 12:00 (EEST)
Detection Technology, a global leader in X-ray detector solutions, today announced the launch of the X-Panel 4386a FPI, the latest addition to its X-Panel XL series of large-area thin-film transistor (TFT) flat panel detectors. Building on the strong market response to the single-glass X-Panel XL platform, the new detector extends the product family with industry-leading speed and an optimized large-area form factor featuring a 430 × 860 mm active area for high-speed industrial computed tomography (CT) imaging applications.
The X-Panel XL series, originally launched with X-Panel 43108 variants, addresses the growing demand for high-throughput inspection of large objects in industrial imaging. Developed in close collaboration with customers, the X-Panel 4386a FPI expands the product family with a 430 x 860 mm active area detector for demanding dynamic imaging applications.
“The launch of the X-Panel 4386 as a successor to the X-Panel 43108 demonstrates our commitment to continuously expanding the capabilities of the X-Panel XL series,” said Tuomas Holma, Product Director at Detection Technology. “Customers have shown tremendous interest in large-area dynamic detectors that improve throughput and imaging quality while enabling entirely new system concepts. The X-Panel 4386 enables faster and more flexible industrial imaging system designs.”
The X-Panel 4386a FPI features dual-side readout architecture that enables frame rates of up to 15 fps in full-resolution mode, 45 fps in 3×3 binning mode, and 90 fps in 6×6 binning mode. This makes the detector more than five times faster than many competing large-area detector solutions currently available on the market.
The detector is based on a-Si TFT technology with a 140 µm pixel size and a pixel matrix of 3072 x 6144. It provides an active imaging area of 430 x 860 mm and supports 10G BASE-T connectivity for high-speed data transfer. The detector is optimized for high-energy X-ray tube imaging applications, with scintillator options including DRZ-Plus and Cesium Iodide (CsI).
The X-Panel 4386a FPI has been specifically designed for applications requiring large-area imaging combined with high acquisition speed. These include:
- Industrial CT and digital radiography (DR) systems
- Automotive inspection of large assemblies and battery systems
- Aerospace inspection of composite structures such as fuselage and wing sections
- Inspection of heavy castings and large industrial components
- Defence and ammunition inspection
- Conveyor-based manufacturing inspection systems
Compared to conventional large-area dynamic detectors, the single-glass X-Panel XL series provides several important advantages. Its large active area allows imaging of large objects with fewer scans, improving productivity while reducing stitching artifacts. The series’ high frame rate enables significantly faster CT acquisition, reducing inspection time and increasing system throughput. The compact form factor also enables more flexible cabinet X-ray and system designs.
The series has been engineered for robust operation in industrial environments. It is compliant with applicable international EMC, safety, environmental, and industry standards, supporting smooth system integration and certification processes for OEM customers.
The series is globally available with both EU-origin and China-origin manufacturing options, supporting customers worldwide with flexible supply capabilities and local support. Demo units and technical support are available for application testing and system integration. Customer deliveries for the X-Panel 43108 have already started, while deliveries for the X-Panel 4386 are planned to begin at the end of 2026.
Detection Technology will showcase the X-Panel XL series and its comprehensive product line of flat panel and line scan X-ray detectors at ECNDT 2026, the European Conference on Non-Destructive Testing. Featured models in the X-Panel XL series include:
| Product | Pixel matrix | Active area (mm) | Frame rate 1×1 (fps) | Max energy (kV) |
| X-Panel 4386a FPI-GPG-TG-S | 3072 x 6144 | 430 x 860 | 15 | 450 |
| X-Panel 43108a FQI-GHG-TG-H | 3072 x 7680 | 430 x 1075 | 7.5 | 750 |
| X-Panel 43108a FQI-GHC-TG-H | 3072 x 7680 | 430 x 1075 | 7.5 | 16000 |
ECNDT takes place in Verona, Italy, on 15–19 June 2026. Visitors can meet Detection Technology at stand 140–141 to learn more about its trusted solutions.
