Anritsu XR75 X-ray Inspection System

Anritsu has launched the XR75 X-ray Inspection System. Available in Australia and New Zealand from Walls Machinery, the system is designed to provide good sensitivity at lower energy levels for extended life cycles.

The system features a long-life generator which enables longer component lifetime while using less energy. The low-output X-ray generator reduces heat generation, eliminating the need for a cooling system and resulting in a 30% reduction in power consumption, according to the company. Overall, the system is said to reduce lifetime operating costs by over 20% compared to other systems.

Capable of detecting metal as small as 0.4 mm in diameter and glass and stone of 1 mm in diameter, the inspection system can pinpoint product shape defects and check for product integrity. Sanitary design improvements include angled surfaces for water run-off, removable curtains for easy cleaning and tool-less belt removal.
