Combi x-ray inspection and checkweighing for small products

Optimize your production line’s quality control with a compact, synchronized solution for precise weighing and contaminant detection of small, solid products using top-down X-ray inspection technology.

Integrates Weighing and X-Ray Inspection

The Combi X-Ray Checkweigher from Antares Vision Group is a compact, integrated solution designed for precise weighing and effective inspection of small horizontal products in industries such as cosmetics, food, and packaging. Combining checkweighing and X-ray inspection into a single monoblock, it supports continuous high-speed operations with seamless automation and integration into production lines.

Featuring a synchronized operation through a shared interface, the system facilitates accurate product handling via unique recipes and compact ejection modules. It is especially advantageous for inspecting unpackaged and packed goods, like flow-packs, boxes, bags, and various cosmetic and food items including lipstick, chocolate bars, and juice cartons.

The equipment offers a linear speed of up to 70 m/min and a maximum speed of 300 ppm, accommodating weight ranges up to 3200 g. Its self-learning system and calibration ensure optimal performance, while advanced X-ray capabilities detect a wide range of foreign bodies, such as metals and glass, ensuring product safety and compliance with CE, MID, BRC, IFS, and HACCP standards.

With a color touchscreen interface for ease of use, and incorporated data processing electronics and remote assistance kits, maintenance is minimized. The robust construction includes a fully integrated cooling module and an IP65 protection degree, guaranteeing durability and operational efficiency in demanding environments.

Benefits

  • Enhances quality assurance by simultaneously weighing and inspecting, ensuring product safety and compliance.
