A Crawley company has sold 100 of its latest anti-cancer machines.

Varian Medical Systems' manufacturing milestone comes a year after the Acuity Simulator was launched on the market.

The machine, which takes high-quality digital X-rays, has been exported to 25 countries and is used in several British hospitals.

Varian, based in Gatwick Road, is the world's leading supplier of radiotherapy products for the treatment of cancer and employs 160 people.

Brian Driver, principal mechanical engineer, said: "It sold really well when launched and looks like being another great success."
