Package Inspection with X-Ray machine”
The X-ray is often associated with broken or fractured bones in our minds. However, X-rays have various applications in the industry. We use an X-ray machine to ensure the complete detection of the number of cigarette boxes inside a carton
Why did we use an X-ray machine?
In the cigarette manufacturing plant, although the placement of cigarette boxes inside cartons is done automatically, there is a possibility that the number of boxes inside a carton is less than the specified quantity. Considering the high cost of cigarettes and the importance of customer satisfaction, factory owners were in search of a solution to this problem. The initial solution that seemed viable for detecting misplaced boxes was measuring the weight of the cigarette carton. However, investigations revealed that the weight tolerance of the carton is high, making it challenging to detect missing boxes. Another solution involved using machine vision and examining the internal structure of the carton with an X-ray machine.
The operation of the X-ray machine
The main component of the X-ray machine is the X-ray tube. In the diagram, you can observe an X-ray tube. The X-ray beam emitted from this tube collides with the cigarette carton. During the passage of the X-ray beam through the box, its energy undergoes changes. The extent of this energy change depends on the thickness and material composition of the substances the X-ray encounters. By detecting X-rays, the internal structure of the cigarette carton is revealed in the form of a clear digital image.
Image Processing Software for X-ray
Our team performed image processing on X-ray images and developed a software program in Halkan for the X-ray device. In various scenarios, the software identifies missing cigarette boxes within the cigarette carton through the analysis of images. This way, cigarette boxes are automatically and quickly scanned, and any deficiencies in the number of boxes are detected.
Machine Vision with X-Ray
In machine vision, having a good image of a product is the first step, and the X-ray device produces images of the internal structure of manufactured products, expanding the scope of machine vision within them. The combination of these two technologies can contribute to improving the efficiency and quality in products and manufacturing processes. By employing machine vision algorithms on X-ray images, you can create an intelligent system for evaluating and inspecting internal components of products.
Other Detectable Defects
By utilizing X-Ray image processing, many defects that are not visible to the naked eye can be identified. For example, in the images below, pictures taken with an X-Ray device are demonstrated.
