N/A Innovative design and advanced technology, along with application flexibility makes the Xpert™ easy to install and use in many different applications.

It is ideal for small bags to large cartons and customizations for material handling, harsh environments and special inspections.

Sensitivity, durability, reliability
With industry-leading resolution and detection software, the Xpert™ system can find contaminants other systems miss, so your production shipments are safe with a minimum of false rejects. To address TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), the Xpert™ was designed to be simple, modular, flexible and insensitive to its environment.

A five-step Easy Set-Up process keeps it simple to use. To facilitate application optimization and troubleshooting, the Xpert™ systems allow real-time software filter adjustment, reject image storage/analysis, I/O and source/ detector testing and other advanced software capabilities, along with full machine data logging. The result is an X-ray system that is a food quality and safety expert.
