Minebea Intec, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of industrial weighing and inspection technologies, is expanding its portfolio with the X-ray inspection system Dylight S. This compact X-ray inspection system has been specially developed to ensure the quality of products in upright containers. It is available now.
The 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. Companies are faced with the challenge of making huge investments in new technologies in order to keep up with these changes. However, consumers are not automatically prepared to pay higher prices for their everyday products. This is precisely where the new X-ray inspection system Dylight S comes in: it enables manufacturing companies to guarantee the highest product safety and quality – at an economically attractive price.
Compact design, High performance
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 not only enables reliable detection of metallic and non-metallic foreign bodies – including glass, rubber, stones or plastic parts – in containers such as PET bottles, Tetra Paks or plastic cans, but also offers functions for completeness checks and fill level inspections.
“The X-ray inspection system Dylight S is characterised by its extremely compact design,” says Mengqi Liang, Product Manager at Minebea Intec. “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).”
Latest software features for High efficiency
Minebea Intec is introducing another innovative feature with the X-ray inspection system Dylight S: autonomous parameter adjustment. This function optimises 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.
Another outstanding feature is the image acquisition. Thanks to innovative software technology, the system can generate a second X-ray image from an acquired image. This function enables the operating personnel to subsequently optimise brightness, contrast and scaling and to detect the foreign bodies that have been missed in the original images. In general, great consideration was taken during developing the software to ensure that it is user-friendly and intuitive for the applications.
Future-proof connectivity and digital integration
Thanks to a wide range of interfaces, the X-ray inspection system Dylight S can be seamlessly integrated into digital production environments. “In addition to OPC-UA for standardised communication, the system offers integration with the SPC@Enterprise software solution from Minebea Intec, which can be used for Statistical process control and data analysis,” says Mengqi Liang. “Other functions such as remote access via TeamViewer make Service and maintenance easier.”
With Dylight S, Minebea Intec is once again setting an example for innovation and quality in X-ray inspection. The system offers a pioneering combination of compact design, state-of-the-art technology and low total cost of ownership – an optimal solution for companies that want to comply with the highest inspection standards and future-proof their production.
