Inspection Summary

FEATURES
Foreign Matter Detection
Precise detection of the smallest of foreign contaminants.
Types of contaminants X-ray can detect.
● Metal● Non-ferrous metals in foil,
including stainless steel● Glass● Bone (calciﬁed)● PVC plastic● TFE (Teflon) plastic● Ceramic or concrete● Flavor/sugar clumps

Shape Detection
Check for product uniformity and flaws, such as cracks or chips.

Example of a cracked product

Example of good products-3-Mass Estimation
Estimate the weight of a product todetermine if it meets desired weightparameters.
The X-ray machine measures the product density
to determine the approximate mass of a product.
This is especially useful with continuous packaging.

Piece Counting and Positioning
Search for missing items within a package and verify proper positioning.

Example of a missing piece

Example of misplaced productMasking Function
Confirm product integrity and reduce the number of false rejections.

Example of masking
the edge of product.

Example of masking
non-inspection area.

Example of masking
the clipped area.
