Working with Reiter-HG Geiger, a sophisticated injection molding processor specializing in demanding applications, the OEM team began their search for a sustainable material to replace lead, one that would effectively shield X-rays up to 140 keV while offering additional manufacturing benefits.
In addition, the company reduced the health and environmental impact of its equipment by using an RoHS-compliant, eco-conscious and equally effective alternative to lead.
Finally, the material gave the OEM's designers greater geometric flexibility so that they could shield areas more effectively than with machined parts.
