X-ray cabinet inspection system

August 1, 2008




Eriez’s model XR-21 series cabinet inspection system identifies contaminants, scans for missing or broken products and detects packaging voids. The device can be used with both packaged and continuous bulk product flows, and is capable of handling products up to 12 in. wide with varying speeds. With a Windows XP-based GUI, the system includes a 15-in. full color screen display that displays real-time images and diagnostic data. USB and RJ-45 connectors located on the outside of the machine make it easy to connect to computers and industrial networks.
