Concept-3™

The C3 Series machines are intended for inspection of packaged products. These systems use a vertical view of the product.

Concept-3 is optimized for the low intensity "soft-X-ray" energy range. When coupled with it's unique high dynamic range detection system, unparalleled image discrimination is achieved. Construction is 100% lead free therefore eliminating any hazardous material consideration.

System highlights

  • Small footprint does not demand much floor space and replaces both metal detector and checkweigher functions.
  • HyperSwitchT Image Processing Platform for mulitfunctional capability.
  • Conveyor and processing speeds up to 200 FPM or 600 packages/minute.
  • Full square tunnel aperture coverage of 10" x 6" inspects complete product.  Other sizes available. No missed product corners.
  • So simple to operate, it can be used in headless or with 12" LCD touch-screen configurations
  • NEMA-4 / IP65 with closed system cooling configurations
  • V-guided conveyor for maintenance free tracking, FDA belt standard
  • Integrated air-blast, add-on drop or push-arm rejecter mechanism
  • 100% stainless-steel construction

Concept-5™

The C5 Series machines are intended for inspection of glass jar, metal can, and other stand-up packages. These systems use a side view of the product.

The C5 X-Ray System is specifically designed for the rapid automatic inspection of Jar, bottle, and other tall product. The unique geometry enables unparalleled detection capability. This inspection performance is unmatched even with much more expensive multi-view systems.

System highlights

  • Small footprint does not demand much floor space and replaces both metal detector and fill level detection functions.
  • HyperSwitchT Image Processing Platform for mulitfunctional capability.
  • Conveyor and processing speeds up to 200 FPM or 1000 packages/minute.
  • So simple to operatewith the 12" LCD touch-screen
  • NEMA-4 / IP65 with closed system cooling configurations
  • 100% stainless-steel construction

Hyper-Switch Bene™

Hyper-Switch™ dramatically improves the state-of-the-art of x-ray inspection machines by utilizing neural network technology. This technology automatically learns what normal product should look like under the light of x-ray energy and detect undesired contamination such as stainless steel, glass, and stone. It also simultaneously inspects each product for under fill or weight. Bene™ uses neural network technology to quickly determine what to expect.

Contaminant and weighing capabilities no longer require trained personal to setup and adjust. Bene™ simply learns what is normal by observation of "known good" examples. Placing the burden of setup and adjustment completely under the control of software enables unparalleled computing power to bear on the inspection task.

This system can detect product defects in

  • Shape defects in 3 dimensions.
  • Weight either whole product, or selected product within the container.
  • Absence or excess product such as manual or component.
  • Packaging defects such as open flap, missing spacer.
  • Object position such as missed drilled hole or bearing in position.
  • Missing item such as product instructions, assembly parts.
  • Count the proper number itmes within a package.
Normal operating features are best accomplished with an intuitive touch screen while advance setup and statistical functions through a remote, full feature interface.

Remote Portal™
Remote Portal™ is an add-on module that resides between the C3 X-ray inspection machine and your internet enabled factory LAN to give a web browser view of the inspection throughput statistics, archive images, as well as remote service and upgrade capability.

Novus X-Ray's C3 machines inherently support real-time traceability of you product inspection results. The Remote Portal™ module enhances this capability by constantly synchronizing with the C3 machine, recording the results and associated images to a non-volatile storage device. It parses all throughput statistics to create an easy to use and understandable database using the all-familiar hypertext web interface.

Remote Portal™ also provides a very effective way for Novus X-Ray support engineers to help you with your quality problems, remotely and in real-time. A support engineer can retrieve your image archive and/or live images, make the appropriate changes, and upload the changes even while your machine is still inspecting product. This capability is commonly call Hot Patching ... no need to stop the production process to enhance, retune, or repair the inspection processor resulting in zero down time!
