The LINX x-ray line scanner provides an easy to use solution to inspect objects transported on a conveyor belt.
Sens-Tech supplies a range of linear X-ray sensors which use XDAS detector head and signal processing boards to provide an array of any required length. Detector pitch can be 2.5mm, 1.6mm, 0.8mm or 0.4mm. X-rays are detected using silicon photodiodes, with a range of scintillation materials. Gadox (Gd2S2O), CsI (Tl) and CdWO4 are used to cover the X-ray energy range of 20keV to 300keV.
The LINX unit is housed in an aluminium box with additional lead screening to protect the electronic components from radiation damage. The unit has a collimator with a graphite window, so that only a narrow X-ray beam can reach the detector, reducing scattering and improving image quality.
