Flexible batch inspection
November 1st 2006 MDXi, from 3DX-Ray, is a flexible batch inspection system that offers conventional 2D x-ray imaging and a 3D X-ray system that can check internal components and alignments to an accuracy of around 100 microns. It can be used off-line and in-line. It can even build, measure and display a full 3D image of an internal structure in the same way as a CAT scan but at a fraction of the cost. To achieve this it uses the company's dual detector array technology. Images can be displayed on a conventional polarising PC screen and viewed with polarising glasses. It can check a product automatically against pre-determined designs and tolerances. The compact system is sensitive enough to detect and measure delicate plastic components inside a plastic or metal casing, yet powerful enough to see through 20cm of solid steel. The system is available with a wide range of dedicated software modules and can be run as stand alone or be linked to an external QC or SPC system. More articles from 3DX-Ray Ltd: |
