Abstract

See full text

An X-ray inspection apparatus and method allow inspection of the contents of containers moving rapidly past an inspection station. The system includes an X-ray source pulsed by control logic, an image amplifier for converting an X-ray image of the container contents to a visible image and a solid-state camera for converting the visible image into video signals which are processed by a computer-controlled image processor. Clear images are produced of the contents of rapidly moving containers by pulsing the X-ray source. Control logic and a reject mechanism eject containers having foreign contaminants. Image illuminance stability is enhanced by feedback signals from the vision computer which operate a motorized camera lens.
