This white paper, "X-ray Inspection - More Than Just Contamination Detection", explains how in addition to detecting physical contamination, x-ray inspection systems are capable of identifying many quality shortfalls that can lie deep within products or hidden inside of their packaging.
For years, food and pharmaceutical manufacturers have relied on x-ray inspection technology to detect and reject harmful foreign materials such as glass, metal, mineral stone and calcified bone. However, did you know that modern x-ray systems are also a powerful tool for enhancing quality control?
This 12-page white paper provides an overview of how x-ray inspection works before going on to explain that in a single pass and at high line speeds, x-ray systems can simultaneously:
- Measure length, width, area and volume
- Identify missing or broken products and packaging
- Spot missing inserts or products
- Measure overall and zoned mass
- Check fill levels and zoned fill levels
- Measure head space
- Detect the presence of a vacuum
- Detect product in seal
Readers will discover how x-ray systems can detect anything from missing tablets in a blister pack to misaligned chocolates in a gift box. They can even check whether garlic baguettes contain the right amount of butter in each slot and spot if a pack of cereal bars has one bar missing.
By catching integrity faults before products leave the factory, x-ray inspection helps provide confidence that products contain no surprises or disappointments, keeping customers happy while helping manufacturers fulfill their brand promise and avoid product recalls.
