Bulk and Selective Check Weighing One distinct advantage of X-ray weighing is the ability to independently weigh selected areas within a package. By weighing each area independently of each other, the effective sensitivity can be improved. For example, the box of breakfast drink mix below has twin stacks of packets stacked on top of each other. Each stack has 20 packets or 40 packets in the box. If the entire box is weighed, one missing packet would require the measurement to discriminate 1:40 or 2.5%. If each stack is weighed independently, the system needs only to discriminate 1:20 or 5%. The net effect is to increase systems resolving capability by a factor of two. An added benefit of the selective weighing is the ability to ignore the packaging in the measurement, farther increasing the systems performance. |
