C9750 series X-ray inspection uses high sensor technology
Hamamatsu Photonics manufacture a wide variety of X-ray line sensor products, used in diverse applications in medical, security and industrial markets. The C9750 is used in automated applications for the inspection of packaging, pharmaceuticals, industrial moulded metallic components, tyres, turbines, building materials, bone and glass in food stuffs, bottles, pipes, tin cans and many more. X-ray inspection has been used in recent times for not only fault and contamination detection, but also for more routine industrial process checking of product characteristics such as density and weight.
Hamamatsu's C9750 series line sensor devices provide a complete X-ray camera to the end-user. The C9750 offers a 12-bit digital output via RS422 or camera link interface and USB or IEEE1394 (firewire) interface can be provided for OEM products. Compared with previous line sensors and other linear cameras on the market, this new model offers enhanced noise performance, wider dynamic range, higher scanning speeds, on-board control of all sensor functions and diagnostics and essentially zero drift in the output over long periods of operation. Crucially, this unit offers simple "plug and play' functionality.
Hamamatsu is also releasing an improved 0.2mm resolution version of this line sensor, described as the highest resolution currently in the market place. Combined with its high sensitivity, the end-user can now easily detect smaller defects.
