High-performance X-ray system for upright/tall packages

The Thermo Scientific™ Xpert™ S400 side shoot X-ray Inspection System is a state-of-the art single beam system that is compact in size and easy to install and use. An existing conveyor can be routed through the inspection tunnel and the X-ray source/detector can be adjusted to its height in a matter of hours.

The Xpert™ S400 comes standard with a tall X-ray beam and detector capable of inspecting a broad range of products. X-ray power and detector resolution are chosen to match typical line speeds. A chicane line configuration is available also for tall, light, small diameter products that cannot pass through radiation shielding curtains without tipping over.
