Performing X-ray in-line inspection of objects for defects and contamination is a vital part of product quality control. Three types of X-ray detectors could be used: CCD cameras, flat panel sensors, and line scan cameras. A line scan camera, which has a one-line sensor, is the better choice for in-line inspection because it is faster. It also has a longer lifetime and simplifies cabinet design because it requires less X-ray radiation.
Hamamatsu manufactures a variety of X-ray line scan cameras that conveniently fit inside a conveyor belt. Different pixel sizes and line lengths are available. Additional features include high sensitivity and wide dynamic range. Our cameras are ideal for in-line inspections of products including:
- Food and beverage
- Fresh produce
- Pharmaceutical products
- Semiconductor and electronic products
- Metal parts (die cast, welding, etc.)
- Lumber/wood
- Tire inspection
- Security (cargo and mail) inspection
- Recycling inspection.
For tire inspection, Hamamatsu manufactures C-shaped line scan cameras (C9750-27FCC and C9750-27FCD) with high sensitivity and wide dynamic range. Just one tire rotation is required to image and inspect the whole tire.
Hamamatsu also makes the C10650 series X-ray TDI camera for in-line applications requiring high-speed operation with high sensitivity. TDI is a special image acquisition method that has been used extensively in machine vision applications for industrial inspection. TDI imaging is appropriate where a linear process is being recorded over time or where the aspect ratio of the subject is significantly asymmetric. Please visit the section specifically for X-ray TDI cameras for more information.
