RAYCON EX1 (Product inspection system for slim and packaged products at moderate pricing)
The system comprises the following main components:
(A) 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. Depending on the product height and density a part of the X-rays is absorbed by the product.
(B) X-ray beam
(C) Transport system
A PE flat belt (self guiding) uniformly transports the product to be inspected through the X-ray beam, which makes it possible to scan the product line-by-line.
(D) Detector unit
The linear detector line that is installed beside the conveyor belt converts the arriving X-rays into an electrical signal from which a
digital X-ray image is created.
(E) Industry-type PC
The PC is used to evaluate the images and to accurately control the reject systems.

Detectability of different materials depending on their density
The RAYCON EX1 product inspection system is characterised by the following performance features:
- Inspection area: 220/120 (W x H)
- Throughput: ~220 pcs./min. (product specific)
- Detection capability starting from Ø 0,6 mm
- 60W Low-Energy X-Ray generator
- Highest operator safety due to low X-Ray emission < 0.5µSv/h
- Total length of 800mm only
- Modular and stable frame design allows easy transportation and safe installation
- Ambient temperatures from 0°C to +40°C
- IP 54 protection class
- Reject system: signal only (for customer specific reject systems)
Evaluation software
The product inspection system is equipped with a high-performance industry-type PC with real-time operating system and sophisticated
visualisation software.
The system is operated by way of a 10“ – LCD monitor with touch-screen.
X-ray images are evaluated by means of a product-specific visualisation software. Contaminated or defective products are detected and separated.
