X-Ray Checkweigher Combination Units

Single point of operation for personnel

• Many companies have quality control procedures where critical control points within their production process need to be monitored. Having the x-ray inspection  combined with the checkweigher, enables both systems to easily be monitored by the employee on the production floor and not have to move a great distance between the two systems. 
• Reduces safety risk to the operator as the reject systems of both the x-ray system and checkweigher system are located next to each other.

Single point for maintenance

• Set-up and calibration of the x-ray and checkweigher systems can be done together at the same time.

Space saving

• Production facilities are often very crowded and constrained by lack of extra space. Even a space savings of 200 cm is valuable within a constricted manufacturing plant. This combination system can save from 200 cm to 1,000 cm in length of valuable packaging line space.

Budget saving

• Combination units save on the purchase of hardware. Since the conveyor belt of the NextGuard x-ray is also used as the infeed for the Versa checkweigher this eliminates the need for an extra conveyor belt which can be a cost savings of several thousand dollars compared to buying two separate systems.

Single point for quality control

• Rejection of out-of-range weight and contaminated products are side by side for easy removal. 
• Each system has its own HMI control screen, and both are visible from a single point allowing simultaneous review of real time data from both systems.
• X-ray belt can help pull pitch of products, regulating product presentation going onto the checkweigher.
