X-ray inspection system Xpert™

automatedfor defect detectionquality

Product overview
The Thermo Scientific™ Xpert™ Conveyor X-Ray Inspection Systems perform top-down vertical x-ray inspection for bags, boxes and other flat packages to detect contaminants and inspect product integrity. Systems are configurable for line integration, support multilane inspection and include software tools to reduce false rejects. Options include washdown upgrades to meet IP65 or IP69K and remote monitoring for diagnostics.

Key features

• Detects metal, glass, dense plastics and other foreign objects in large food packaging such as cases, bags and trays.
• Safety features: radiation scatter curtains, LED light pole, multiple emergency stops, X‑ray key switch, inspection-area door lock and safety interlocks on all doors.
• Product verification: weight and fill estimation, count and missing-object detection.
• Flexible software supports up to eight lanes simultaneously through the aperture to maximize throughput.
• Designed for continuous operation in demanding factory environments with built-in cabinet airconditioning.
• Built-in remote monitoring and diagnostics to reduce downtime.
