X-ray Line Sensor Camera｜IMAGE TECH CO.,LTD.

X-ray Line Sensor Camera

LINE SENSORS PROVIDED WITH IDEAL SPECS TO MATCH THE CUSTOMER’S LINE EQUIPMENT THIRD GENERATION X-RAY LINE SENSOR CAMERAS ARE NOW ON THE SCENE!

These have come into wide use since 2003. X-ray line sensor cameras from ImageTech are now third generation devices.
Sharp, clear images can now be captured thanks to developing low-noise circuits for improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The devices can now operate just from a 24 volt DC supply in a move to make the devices more convenient for customers. Moreover, we can provide these cameras in specifications that are ideal for customer needs provided we know the inspection width, conveyor speed and resolution that the customer requires.

Inspection Applications

Product safety inspections (abnormality inspections for nails in shoes, abnormality inspections of automotive parts, abnormality inspections of steel cord in tires, etc.)
Baggage inspections (airports, banks, exhibits, concert halls, etc.)
Inspections for foreign objects (in foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, clothing, etc.)
Quantity inspections (sweets, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, etc.)
Inspections for items inside aluminum wrappings that are impossible to sense with metal inspection devices

Device elements in all standard cameras are replaceable to give an ideal resolution that matches the object for inspection. Line sensor elements loaded in the camera have 3 types of resolution. All elements can be loaded in the camera.
Pixel spacing is selectable from 02.mm• 0.4mm • 0.8mm.
Check out these inspection object sizes
Semiconductor substrates use 0.2mm element
General foreign object inspections use 0.4mm element
High-speed conveyor lines use 0.8mm element
Line speed double that of conventional models!
Conveyor speeds from 0.1m/minute to 170m/minute

Line speed double that of conventional models!
Conveyor speeds from 0.1m/minute to 170m/minute

Select a suitable line speed by mounting a matching element in the camera.
Captures images within the short time required on production lines.
Camera needs only 2 connector cables
A power cable and a camera link cable

Camera needs only 2 connector cables:A power cable and a camera link cable

Supply voltage is just one 24 volts DC system
Needs no dedicated power supply. For example you can use it jointly with the PLC power supply.
Camera signal is the camera link output (Base Configuration)
Can utilize a standard cable.

SAFTY MEASURES

X-ray safety criteria: Safety measures for the operator.
This device emits X-rays only within a protective enclosure and moreover the radiation leakage to outside the device is within 1uSv per hour or less to comply with the “Ordinance on Prevention of Ionizing Radiation Hazards” which limits the dosage to 1.3mSv or less over 3 months. This device therefore requires no location having a controlled area (restricted access) and no operation supervisor.
(The business operator planning to use the X-ray device must submit plans for its use to the labor standards inspector having local jurisdiction within 30 days prior to starting device installation work.)
Protection via lead plate: Protection from exposure to X-ray leakage from this device is generally by means of lead plate attached to the within the interior of this device.
Protection via lead curtain: A curtain containing lead is mounted at the entrance and exit to this device. One layer is equivalent to 0.25mm of lead (Pb) and 3 layers are provided.
Interlock mechanisms: Mechanisms to swiftly shutoff X-ray emissions shall be installed at all covers, doors and openings. These mechanisms shall also shutoff X-ray emission or prevent X-ray emissions in the event the inspection items become clogged up within the device.
(Interlocks shall automatically stop X-ray emissions and conveyor movement when the event hands or fingers are placed within the conveyor inlet/outlet.)
