Rapiscan 620 Dual View
The 620 Dual View is designed for carry-on baggage screening at airports and other high-security checkpoints. It produces both horizontal and vertical X-ray views of the item being inspected, giving operators a clearer look inside bags without needing to reposition and scan them again as often. The system is approved by a number of international aviation security authorities and includes tools designed to assist with the identification of explosives and other prohibited items.
Rapiscan Orion® 920DX
The Orion 920DX is a dual-view baggage and parcel inspection system that provides two views of an item during a single scan. Clear image detail, material identification and operator-assist tools make it suited to airports, government facilities, customs, law enforcement and other busy security checkpoints. It can also be connected to networking, remote monitoring and image management systems where several screening points need to be managed together.

Rapiscan 620XR VE
The 620XR VE is an ultra-compact X-ray screening system designed for small to medium-sized parcels, briefcases, bags and packages. Its smaller footprint makes it a practical option where space is limited, including government buildings, schools, prisons, commercial buildings and event security checkpoints. Multi-energy imaging helps operators distinguish between different types of materials and get a clearer view of the contents being inspected.
Rapiscan 920CT
The 920CT is designed specifically for aviation cabin baggage inspection and uses Computed Tomography (CT) technology to create detailed 3D images of the contents of a bag. Operators can view baggage from different angles and isolate items for closer inspection, helping reduce the need to open and manually search bags. Depending on airport security requirements, passengers can also leave certain electronics and liquids inside their bags during screening, making the checkpoint process simpler for both passengers and security teams.

Rapiscan Polyskin Cover
The Polyskin Cover is a protective cover designed for the operator control panels and keyboards used with selected Rapiscan X-ray systems. Made from durable thermoplastic polyurethane, it can be cleaned and disinfected regularly and also provides additional protection against spills. It is suitable for Rapiscan 600 Series and 900 Series X-ray keyboards.
Rapiscan 618XR
The 618XR is a compact X-ray screening system designed for smaller baggage and parcel inspection setups. Its size makes it suitable for environments such as schools, prisons, cruise facilities and event security, where a full-size screening installation may not be necessary.
It provides a practical option for screening bags, parcels and other smaller items while keeping the equipment footprint relatively small.

Choosing the Right Baggage or Parcel Inspection System
Not every screening environment needs the same X-ray system. The right equipment will depend on what you are screening, how many items need to pass through the checkpoint and the level of security required.
The typical size of bags, parcels or packages being screened
Daily screening volumes and required throughput
Available space at the security checkpoint
Single-view or dual-view imaging requirements
Threat detection requirements
Whether the system will be used in an airport or another high-security facility
Operator training and ongoing technical support
HAB can assist with selecting a system suited to your facility and screening requirements.
