LINE-SCAN CAMERA 2D AREA-SCAN CAMERA
Line-scan cameras are ideal for in-line X-rayphotography, enabling capture of high resolution X-rayimages of objects moving on equipment such as beltconveyors. Used for a wide range of x-rayobservations, for example detection of objects mixedin with food products and electronic components. Thewide inspection width (up to approximately 4029mm)facilitates internal observation of large items notpreviously able to be readily inspected.
Area-scan cameras employ high resolutioncharacteristics (minimum 25m), and as such are idealfor in-line non-destructive testing of small electroniccomponents and PCBs. When fitted with an imageintensifier the high sensitivity allows real-timeacquisition of high contrast images even with theextremely small currents generated by micro-focus X-ray tubes. The various image processing functions ofthe controller may be selected at the press of a buttonfor enhancement of image quality.

Using the optional processor board(installedintoacomputer),theimagecanbe paused or scrolled, and the sensorhead controlled arbitrarily.
The total cost was reduced by integrating the main components and adopting DCpower, which can be supplied externally.
In addition to digital dark correction, a mechanism for making automatic analogdark corrections was newly adopted, and the sensor life has been increased.
Using the commercial frame grabberboard, the 10-bit digital output enableseasy connection to a computer or otherexternal instrument. Acquired imageprocessing,dataprocessingandfilingcanbeperformed,allowingtheconfigurationofanysystem.

Image Intensification (C6086-30 Series)
Enhancing analog contrast allows low-contrast images to bedisplayed clearly. Processing removes noise and irregulari-ties from the image as a matter of course.
The use of image intensification allows for a high-sensitivityvideo system. High sensitivity imaging capabilities allow de-tection of weak X-rays, and operation at low line weight set-tings. Imaging at low line weight settings simplifies systemdevelopment and reduces equipment size, thus minimizingthe effect on the human body.

FEATURES• Micro focal spot• RS-232C interface• Easy handling
The Hamamatsu microfocus X-ray sources were developed
specifically for X-ray non-destructive inspection. These X-
ray sources use an X-ray tube with a small focal spot of
several microns to 10 microns capable of producing a clear
X-ray image even at a high magnification. The RS-232C
interface is provided as a standard feature, allowing
automatic operation by external control. The X-ray tube has
an air-cooled and hermetically sealed structure,and is
integrated with its high voltage power supply for easy
handling. (High voltage cables are not required.)
When an object is magnified, the image taken with aconventional X-ray source is blurred. With a microfocus X-ray source, a clear im-age still can be obtained.
