S+S X-ray system gets an upgrade
S+S Inspection has unveiled a new and improved version of its Raycon X-ray system that incorporates the latest X-ray imaging and image recognition techniques to detect both metallic and non-metallic contaminants. In addition, the Raycon will detect product defects ranging from entrapped air to missing or broken components. The latest processing software also allows so-called desired contaminants to be masked out.

Unlike most other X-ray detection systems, the Raycon has the X-ray source mounted under the conveyor to ensure that even products approaching the maximum height are fully scanned. The system is controlled using a built-in PC. This features an auto-train mode whereby the image processing system can be trained to recognise a good product by passing a perfect product sample through the machine to store a template in its memory. Finally, a range of input and output connections and an ethernet interface allow the Raycon to be integrated with existing and new production lines and control systems.
