X-ray
X-ray technology is a robust and highly precise measuring instrument. It is used in wall thickness and diameter measurement for single and multi-layer pipes and hoses as well as cables and rubber applications. Modern X-ray components combined with the latest semiconductor sensor technology allow precise spatial resolution and repeatability in the µm range. The technology is used for multilayer tubes such as aluminium composite tubes, pressure hoses with fabric inserts, rubber hoses, foamed products, medical hoses, and tubes as well as cables. The µm-accurate reproducibility of the products and quality assurance during extrusion are the main focus here.
The iXRAY solves almost all measuring, automation and documentation tasks for single and multi-layer pipes and hoses. Thanks to a precise spatial resolution and repeatabilities in the µm range, the system reliably generates exact measurement data. At high line speeds, the X-ray system - optionally two or three axes - delivers precise measurement results. The standard systems are available for pipe dimensions from 1 to 63 mm. The iXRAY series is user-friendly and the line operator only has to select the pipe, hose, or cable recipe to start the measurement. Highest line efficiency while saving raw material is achieved by combining it with gravimetric solutions and the proven iNOEX process components. This makes the iXRAY X-ray systems a complete solution for the automation of extrusion lines. Furthermore, the X-ray units do not present any hazard to the operator. The radiation output is far below the permitted legal limits and other safety aspects ensure safe use.
