Our History

1930’s

In the early 1930’s, radio pioneer RCA designed a detector that used high frequency electromagnetic waves to identify metal objects. Later in that decade, Federal Laboratories purchased the patent from RCA and engineered the very first metal detectors for correctional facility security based on that technology. During that same era, N.A Philips U.S.A began production of its landmark medical X-ray systems, and in the years that followed, developed that technology for industrial and security screening applications.

1988

Control Screening LLC® was established with the purchase of the North American Philips Security Screening Division. The Scantech® and Dynavision® brands of security scanners set the standards for X-ray inspection across a broad range of high-threat security applications in the U.S. and abroad.

1989

Federal Laboratories CheckGate® Division was acquired by Control Screening LLC, and with it a legacy of high-performance metal detection technology. Having pioneered fully digital metal detection for superior reliability, uniformity, and accuracy, our company also invented and produced the first digital HandWand TM weapons scanner, the Model 6041.

1989

2001

Control Screening acquired Scintrex Limited and CPAD Holdings from Canadian manufacturer, Intelligent Detection Systems Inc. This move was a successful effort to broaden our technological base to include state-of-the-art trace substance detection; the collection and analysis of particles and vapors at microscopic levels. Scintrex is a global supplier of some of the most sophisticated threat detection products in the industry.
