How Does X-ray Inspection Technology Work?
X-ray inspection measures differences in the absorption of x-rays as they pass through products. High performance systems combine advanced imaging, high sensitivity, and reliability to automatically reject defective products. They are integral to helping to maintain product safety and proving due diligence throughout the production process.
X-ray inspection can go beyond contamination detection to further enhance quality control processes through:
- Component checks – to make sure patient safety leaflets or other components are present
- Monitoring fill levels – to verify the number of tablets in a blister pack or the amount of liquid in a vial
- Measuring mass – to confirm packages are the correct weight
- Identifying missing or broken pieces – to check product and package integrity
