New Xpert S400 X-ray System offers application flexibility for tall-profile packages
Tall-profile package inspection will now benefit from a new flexible, easier-to-use and more cost-effective horizontal beam X-ray system. The Thermo Scientific Xpert S400 has been specifically engineered to detect metal, glass, dense plastics and other foreign objects in vertically-oriented containers such as metal cans, plastic bottles, cartons and standup pouches.
“The applications targeted by this new system represent 20-30 percent of the X-ray market. This is a segment where some previously available solutions were expensive, and difficult to install and use,” said Bob Ries, lead product manager, metal detection and X-ray inspection, Thermo Fisher Scientific. “The S400 changes that by providing a very high level of configuration and inspection flexibility at a very attractive price point.”
