Spellman High Voltage Electronics Corporation is a global company with headquarters in the U.S. that develops precision high voltage DC power supplies, X-ray generators, and Monoblock® X-ray sources for medical, industrial, and scientific applications.
General[edit]
Founded in 1947 by William Spellman, Merrill Skeist and Sandy Glassman, Spellman High Voltage provides standard and custom designed precision high voltage DC power supplies and X-Ray sources for a variety of medical, industrial and scientific applications. [1][2] Initially, the Company’s products were used for television tube testing and electrostatic flocking. In 1968, Merrill Skeist purchased the Company from his partners. It is still owned and managed by the Skeist family.
Spellman has provided innovative system developers with custom designed high voltage DC power supplies to meet their unique application requirements for over 70 years.[3]
The company is headquartered in Hauppauge, New York and has over 2,000 employees in five design, six production and eight support centers in the United States, Mexico, Europe, Japan, China, and Korea[1]
Products[edit]
Spellman’s products include AC-DC and DC-DC high voltage power supplies, industrial and medical X-ray imaging products and portable X-ray NDT systems.[2] They cover the range from 100V to 500 kilovolts, with output power from milliwatts to kilowatts. These products are used in a variety of applications: medical radiography and fluoroscopy, mammography, CT scanners, bone densitometry, dental X-ray systems, CT scanning, non-destructive testing, analytical X-ray, ion implantation, E-Beam lithography, explosives detection/baggage screening, telecommunications, mass spectrometry, electrophoresis, and in a broad range of research oriented applications (physics, materials research, biology, chemistry).[2]
Community Sponsorship[edit]
Spellman is committed to supporting STEM and future leaders in clean technology as demonstrated by CEO, Dr. Loren Skeist:
“Spellman is honored to partner with CSTL and Stony Brook University on this year’s Clean Tech Competition. Our long-standing commitment to clean technology and sustainability is reflected in the values of this wonderful program which promotes and rewards innovative clean technology product ideas submitted by teams of high school students from around the world. These brilliant minds represent the leaders of the future in this growing and important field and we are proud to sponsor this competition in support of their endeavors”.[4]
Spellman has pledged most of the Clean Tech Competition's funding for 2017 until 2020, providing annual prize money totaling more than $30,000.[5]
