Owandy-RX AC

Q: What should I replace my Owandy-RX AC with?

With the Owandy-RX DC , the high-frequency version: same arms, same cones and same ergonomics, with variable high voltage from 60 to 70 kV, exposure times accurate to 1/100th of a second and an optional wireless trigger.

The Owandy-RX AC was the alternating-current version of the Owandy-RX intraoral generator, available as a wall-mounted unit (upper or lower bracket) or as a mobile unit on a cart. A sturdy, vibration-free device compatible with film, digital sensors and phosphor plate systems, it equipped thousands of offices before being withdrawn from the catalog in August 2026 in favor of the high-frequency DC version.

The Owandy-RX on video: installing the generator

Step-by-step wall installation of the Owandy-RX generator: timer, bracket, pantograph arm and tube head. The video shows the DC version, whose mechanics, arms and tube head are identical to those of the Owandy-RX AC.

Timer and tube head

A constant dose, no repeat exposures

Its microprocessor timer drove up to two tube heads and automatically corrected the exposure time according to line fluctuations, for a constant dose and no retakes. The one-piece light-alloy tube head, oil-immersed, housed the tube at the rear of the casing for a source-to-skin distance 50% greater than conventional designs; the pantograph arm, adjustable in height and depth, came in three lengths.
