Heat and Control: X-ray inspection system for overlapping product inspection

See it at PACK EXPO Booth # N-4706! The new Ishida IX-G2 X-ray inspection system for overlapping product inspection from Heat and Control uses a unique dual energy process that compares absorption of x-rays on two levels to improve detection of low-density objects in overlapped products; the system also detects thin pieces of metal, glass, rubber, hard bones, and other foreign objects in products that have uneven surfaces, like cereal and certain frozen foods.

Traditional X-ray systems detect foreign objects by analyzing dark and light areas in transparent x-ray images. However, when products are overlapping, distinguishing dark areas from foreign objects becomes unreliable resulting in missed detections and false rejects.

The IX-G2 also includes functions for weight verification and detection of missing items, incomplete filling, product defects, incorrect alignment, or products trapped in package seals.
