Industrial technology manufacturer, Minebea Intec, is expanding its portfolio of industrial weighing and inspection technologies, with the release of its new X-ray inspection system, Dylight S.

Requirements for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries are constantly evolving. Regulations such as the pre-packaging ordinance or supplier audits require complete documentation. At the same time, sustainable packaging materials make the use of advanced X-ray technologies essential.

Minebea Intec’s new X-ray inspection system, Dylight S, enables manufacturing companies to guarantee the highest product safety and quality – at an economical price.

The Dylight S features sideshooter technology for more precise detection of foreign bodies in products with light and complex packaging. The X-ray inspection system enables reliable detection of metallic and non-metallic foreign bodies in containers such as PET bottles, Tetra Paks or plastic cans, as well as offering functions for completeness checks and fill level inspections.

Minebea Intec product manager, Mengqi Liang, said the Dylight S system is characterised by its extremely compact design.

“This enables easy integration into existing production lines. Another key advantage of the Dylight S is using the monoblock generator without an external transformer, which reduces technical complexity and simultaneously lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO),” said Liang.

In a first for the company, the Dylight S features autonomous parameter adjustment, optimising the product set-up process and inspection process by automatically adjusting the settings to reduce false rejects. As a result, the system increases production efficiency and improves detection accuracy.

Minebea Intec also highlights image acquisition software, which can generate a second X-ray image from an acquired image. This function enables the operating personnel to optimise brightness, contrast and scaling to detect foreign bodies that have been missed in the original images.

Minebea Intec products are distributed in Australia by NWI Weighing, and are available online at nwiweighing.com.au, or in-store in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, or Brisbane.
