LS 231

The LS 231 is a large X-ray security screening system with a tunnel opening of 1000 mm (39.37") wide by 800 mm (31.5") high. The LS 231 can accommodate large luggage, parcels and boxes typical of checked baggage at an airport. The system is particularly well suited for airports, customs facilities and transportation operations where high speed processing of large luggage and other items is required.

With it’s 300 mm (11.81") or 450 mm (17.72") conveyor belt height this system is perfect for applications requiring a low conveyor loading position.

The advanced LS 231/V is a PC based system that incorporates the latest technology featuring an enhanced modular design. This system seamlessly incorporates advanced computer options including Threat Image Projection (TIP), Operator Assist (OA) and Image Archiving (IA).

As part of the L-3 Security and Detection Systems’ family of products, the LS 231 shares in more than 25 years of experience in the manufacture of X-ray security products. With more than 18,000 units in the field worldwide and an extensive service organization to support them, Security and Detection Systems is clearly the world’s leading supplier of X-ray security products.
