- Increased ease of use
- Description
Description
The RAYCON D+ product inspection system detects all contaminants that due to their density, chemical composition, or mechanical dimensions absorb x-rays better than the surrounding product.
With its optional capability using Dual-Energy technology the performance for soft contaminants gets extremely improved for materials e.g. types of plastics (PVC, aso.), rubber, ceramics, stones, calcified bones and similar materials.
- Throughput: ~250 pcs./min. (product specific)
- Detection capability starting from Ø 0,3 mm
- 200W long life x-ray generator
- Highest operator safety due to low x-ray emission < 0.5 µSv/h
- Modular and stable frame design allows easy transportation and safe installation
- Ambient temperatures from 0°C to + 40°C
- IP 66 protection class within conveyor area
The system comprises of the following main components:
X-ray tube
This is where x-rays are electrically generated. The x-rays are emitted from the tube through a narrow slot and as a fan-shaped beam pass through the product to be inspected from back to front.
X-ray beam
Transport system
A PE flat belt (self guiding) uniformly transports the product to be inspected through the x-ray beam. This makes it possible to scan the product line-by-line.
Detector unit
The linear detector that is installed above the inspection aperture converts the arriving x-rays into an electrical signal from which a digital x-ray image is created.
- 0,4 mm HD resolution
- 0,8 mm Dual Energy
Industry-type PC
The PC is used to evaluate the images and to accurately control the reject systems.
