High resolution in-line X-ray inspection system
3DX-RAY is using IPOT to highlight its in-line X-ray inspection system, X-Line plus its MDXi stand-alone system.
X-ray measures can wrinkle non-destructively
3DX-RAY has developed a, X-ray system for measuring the 'wrinkle' in cans - such as for catalytic converters - without destroying them.
X-ray checks diesel catalytic filters
A non-destructive X-ray system measures distribution of wash coats, soot, ash, and substrate damage from regeneration for diesel catalytic and particulate filters.
It can be used for either automatic or manual inspection and is available in both 3D (stereoscopic) and conventional 2D configurations, with the 3D being able to measure volumes, 3D dimensions and alignments with an accuracy approaching that of the width of a human hair (100 microns).
US Government's prestigious Transport Security Administration (TSA) organisation tested the company's 3D X-ray technology in a baggage scanning application and reported that real-time three dimensional images provides 'significant' improvements when compared to two dimensional X-ray inspection systems.
This is coupled with Axis' ability to measure relative positions and boundaries very accurately - allows it to separate different components, even when you have close-fit plastics components inside a plastics or metal casing.
AXIS-3D's standard conveyor design allows simple and rapid integration with existing production line facilities to provide an integrated in-line inspection system.
Standard tunnel sizes are 40cm x 60cm and 80cm x 100cm.
The system is based on a simply plug in and use concept.
Its advanced X-ray imaging technology produces 3D or 2D images in real-time as the objects under inspection move continuously through the system.
AXIS software generates the image data that can be viewed directly by customers on high resolution 2D or 3D monitors and it incorporates an impressive range of real-time image processing functions to aid recognition of faults or contaminants.
The system can link directly into a company's existing QC system via industry standard interfaces.
Alternatively the 3DX-Ray can provide tailored software solutions for image display and processing including pass/fail decisions in fully automated in-line inspection systems.
