Automated system produces 3D measurements

23 January, 2008

Producing a series of precise 3D measurements, X-Line checks the size, depth, angle and exact alignment of the internal components of a product or sub-assembly. This device can also make and implement automated pass and fail judgements, and can produce a 3D X-ray image on a standard polarising PC screen.

Capable of inspecting units in under one second to an accuracy approaching 100 microns, it can also measure hard-to-resolve plastic components that are inside either plastic or metal containers.

The system integrates a 3D X-ray camera with a suite of highly automated vision, image processing and control software. Unlike traditional X-ray devices, this provides detailed three dimensional data as well as structural information on concealed objects.
