The KEVEX PXS10 16W or 65W is a nice machine. Very easy to handle, robust and reliable.
You only need a power supply of about 26 VDC and about 6amps and a computer for control. The tube has a built-in highvoltage unit.
The user Interface is easy to handle.

Thank you so much for your response.
Actually, I need it for radiotherapy applications
For large area applications there is also a wide beam system available (PXS10–WB-10mm-65W); having an x-ray beam with a cone angle of 115°. I have worked with both the small beam version (PXS10-65W) having a beam of about 95° and the wide beam one.
To answer your question and give you a recommandation, some additional information is required. Which maximum energy (kVp) are you looking for? What do you want to do with this device (imaging / irradition; kind / size of objects)?
There are several X-ray cabinet systems provided by companies such as Yxlon, GE, PXinc, XStrahl, Faxitron, etc. These cabinets are intended for material inspection, structure analysis or preclinical research (cells, small animals) providing a high dose rate and also high energy (approx. 200 kVp). But these cabinets are (mostly) really heavy to assure proper radiation protection needed for the high kVp. For cell irradition, they are maybe more compact providing a lower max. kVp.
In addition, there are several X-ray imaging systems provided by companies such as ThermoFisher, Bruker, CT Imaging, Molecubes, Kubtec, etc. These systems mostly have a lower max. kVp and are therefore more compact. But dose rate could be a problem.
And I'm sure there are lots of more X-ray systems intended for various purposes. Most of the mentioned systems can be used without special knowledge and with only a "simple" permission from your radiation protection authority. One aspect to think about is also, if you need it for a medical / clinical purpose as this will bring additional legal restrictions compared to "technical" purposes.
Good luck finding a suitable device. Best regards
