Fast in-line X-ray systems
17/05/2024
VCxray by VisiConsult is expanding its Pro line X-ray system portfolio with two fast in-line inspection solutions: the Pro FI and Pro FI Giga. Both are specifically tailored for the industrial casting market and various sectors, including manufacturing, automotive and aerospace. The new design concept significantly enhances the inspection process by notably reducing the time required per view. Moreover, with the Giga variant, VCxray has developed a world novelty allowing for easy, rapid and automatic inspection of next-generation gigacasting parts and large battery trays.
The new Pro FI 2D X-ray system range is automatic defect recognition (ADR)-ready. Both Pro FI types can be directly integrated into manufacturing lines or automation cells.
Pro FI enables a rapid inspection process and offers full flexibility at the same time by inspecting small to large parts. The inspection area measures up to 1600 mm × 1000 mm × 500 mm and the part changeover time is less than six seconds.
The robust system is available as Pro FI 160 with 160 kV as well as Pro FI 225 with 225 kV. The manipulator is highly flexible and new inspection programs can be created without requiring programming knowledge. The system can be used manually via joysticks or in fully automatic program mode. An open interface offers versatile integration options into robotic loading cells or manufacturing lines.
With the release of the innovative Pro FI Giga, VCxray by VisiConsult is said to fulfil the needs of the transforming casting world, facing the rise of next-generation gigacasting parts and large battery trays with huge manufacturing and inspection challenges. The current manual bottleneck in the inspection process can be eliminated with this XL version of the Pro FI combining fast data analysis with easy max-size part inspection in-line. The Pro FI Giga can also be tailored to specific customer requirements. The smart
high-speed manipulator ensures that the X-ray inspection can be performed in line with the cycle time of the manufacturing line.
All Pro FI machines are equipped with the company’s state-of-the-art VC.acquire software platform, offering an easy to use ADR functionality. The automation concept provides consistent results, also detecting smaller and harder-to-see defects.
