Minebea Intec is expanding its portfolio with the launch of a new X-ray inspection system, Dylight S, for upright containers.
The Dylight S features sideshooter technology for more precise detection of foreign bodies in products with light and complex packaging.
The system enables the detection of metallic and non-metallic foreign bodies - including glass, rubber, stones or plastic parts - in containers such as PET bottles, liquid food cartons or plastic cans, while also offers functions for completeness checks and fill level inspections.
“The X-ray inspection system Dylight S is characterised by its extremely compact design,” says Mengqi Liang, Product Manager at Minebea Intec. “This enables easy integration into existing production lines. Another key advantage of the Dylight S is using the monoblock generator without an external transformer, which reduces technical complexity and simultaneously lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO).”
Minebea Intec is introducing another feature with the X-ray inspection system Dylight S: autonomous parameter adjustment. This function aims to optimise the product set-up process and inspection process by automatically adjusting the settings to reduce false rejects. The company says that, as a result, its new system increases production efficiency and improves detection accuracy.
Another feature is image acquisition – the system can generate a second X-ray image from an acquired image. This function enables the operating personnel to subsequently optimise brightness, contrast and scaling and to detect the foreign bodies that have been missed in the original images.
“In addition to OPC-UA for standardised communication, the system offers integration with the SPC@Enterprise software solution from Minebea Intec, which can be used for Statistical process control and data analysis,” says Mengqi Liang. “Other functions such as remote access via TeamViewer make Service and maintenance easier.”
