Automated, in-line, X-ray inspection and
QC
Automated, in-line, x-ray inspection, measurement and QC is possible with a system from 3DX-Ray that links directly into most factory SCADA or SPC systems.
X-Line, from 3DX-RAY, is an automated, in-line, X-ray inspection, measurement and QC system that links directly into most factory SCADA or SPC systems It produces a series of precise 3D measurements and checks the size, depth, angle and exact alignment of the internal components of a product or sub-assembly

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.
It can also make and implement automated pass/fail judgements.
It can even produce a 3D X-ray image on a standard polarising PC screen.
X-Line can inspect units in under a second, to an accuracy approaching 100 microns - roughly the width of a human hair.
It can even measure hard-to-resolve plastics components that are inside either plastics or metal containers and is sensitive enough to determine if a leaflet has been inserted in a pack alongside the regular contents.
More than ever before, industry demands that products are fault free.
Functional testing can show if there is an obvious fault, but passes over the threat of latent faults that can arise due to partial mis-alignment or mis-assembly.
X-Line integrates a 3D X-ray camera with a suite of highly automated vision, image processing and control software.
Unlike traditional X-ray devices, it provides detailed three dimensional data as well as structural information on concealed objects.
It achieves this in a fraction of the time, and at a small fraction of the cost of CAT scans.
