Industrial Inspection cuts costs in half
X-line from 3DX-Ray is a new-type of low-cost X-ray system for on-line, 100% industrial inspection of mass-produced items
X-line checks the internal contents, 3D-position, size, volume and alignment of a complex assemblage of components in a finished product to an accuracy equivalent to the width of a human hair Due to its innovative technology, it does away with the need for conventional, expensive, panel X-ray detectors, replacing them with an advanced line-scan X-ray system, which means it costs around half the price of standard X-ray inspection equipment

X-ray in-line inspection, analysis and measurement
Measuring or checking the position and alignment of a component inside another component - for metrology or QC, has been notoriously difficult, until the arrival of the X-line x-ray on-line system
The system is fully automated and can make real-time pass / fail decisions for 100% of the production output.
It is easily integrated into a production line's QC, SPC, SCADA or control system.
X-Line provides precise real-time checks, on intermeshing components as well as providing accurate measurements of length, area, angle and position.
It does this at production line speeds up to 80m per minute, even in difficult situations such as when components are housed inside products manufactured from similar or denser materials, eg plastic cogs inside a plastic or metal casing.
To prevent expensive product recalls and avoid product liability issues, today's industry demands that products are fault-free.
Functional testing can show the presence of an obvious fault, but may pass over the threat of latent errors.
The 3D X-Line technology now allows you to check against even these latent problems.
