1.3 Special safety precautions

This section describes special safety precautions for this machine that must be observed in order to use
the machine safely. Observe the following special precautions as well as the general precautions.
• This machine is an X-ray generator. Because X-rays produce disorders to the human body, the
machine must be handled carefully.
In some countries, forcible regulations such as notification to the regulatory authority prior to
installation, acquisition of the national qualification by the user, and restrictions on X-ray leak
amount are applied to the product. For details, contact our office nearest your home.
Precautions on installation
Installation location for this machine must satisfy the following conditions. Installation in the other
location may result in malfunctions of the machine.
• The machine cannot be installed in locations such as:
• Locations that contain lots of dust
• Locations that contain inflammable gases or vapors
• Locations that give out corrosive gasses or solutions
• Do not use this machine in an environment which contains chlorine ions or sulfate ions, which
corrode beryllium foil used in the X-ray tube and may damage the tube. Do not install the machine
in a location where seawater or a chlorine detergent could be scattered.
• This machine is a precision machine. Place it on a stable and level surface not subject to shocks and
vibrations. Shocks and vibrations may cause malfunctions or performance deterioration.
• An air inlet is provided for both sides and the rear side of the machine. To ensure ventilation, install
the machine so that the air inlet is at least 20 cm away from the peripheral wall. When ventilation
becomes worse, temperature inside the machine increases and the protection circuit activates, which
may stop the machine operation or degrade the machine performance.
Precautions on maintenance
• Excluding the inspection room, this machine does not have a waterproof and dripproof structure. Be
careful not to splash water and other liquids on the machine.
• Never modify this machine (including sheet-metal working and loosening or removing the screws).
If modified without permission, the product safety and performance cannot be guaranteed. Also,
modifications without permission may be against the law or cause X-ray leakage accidents. If screws
of the machine are loosened, immediately re-tighten them. Operation with the screws loosened may
cause X-ray leakage accidents.
• Never loosen the screws inside the machine or remove the X-ray generator. If the unit is not mounted
in a proper position, the direction of X-ray irradiation is changed, which may cause X-ray leakage
accidents or degrade the unit performance.
This unit contains high-voltage generating parts, where oil for electric insulation is filled up. Never
disassemble this unit or loosen the mounting screws. Failure to observe this may cause electric
shocks, oil leakage, malfunctions, and performance deterioration.
1-4
• Beryllium foil is used for the X-ray irradiation window. This machine is designed so that beryllium
cannot be touched unless disassembled; however, do not disintegrate or vaporize beryllium, or do
not touch it directly by hand. Touching beryllium by hand or inhaling it has a harmful effect on
human bodies.
• Regarding the scrapping method of this machine, be sure to consult with our service window.
• Do not connect devices other than those specified in this manual to the outlet and connector of the
machine.
Precautions when starting work

Before starting work, open the inspection room door and make sure the following:
• Mounting position of the protective curtain
• The protective curtain is not damaged
• The conveyor is mounted properly
• No test material remains on the conveyor.
Precautions during operation

• The protective curtain attached to the opening of the machine conveyor prevents X-ray from leaking
outside. Never insert part of human bodies such as a hand in the conveyor opening during X-ray
irradiation. Failure to observe this may impair human bodies.
• When the protective curtain is either rolled up, damaged, or loosen from the machine, press
on the operation panel to stop the X-ray irradiation. Continuing the operation may cause X-ray
leakage accidents.
• In opening the inspection room door, be sure to press to stop the X-ray irradiation. Before

1. The X-ray generation unit that applies X-rays in a fan-like form is located on the upper side of the
inspection object on the conveyor, and the line sensor is located under the conveyor belt.
2. The line sensor detects the X-ray transmission image signal for the X-ray applied part (linear). After
the whole surface of the inspection object passed on the line sensor, the transmission image for the
whole inspection object is obtained.
3. The image signal is digitally processed by the computer and whether the mixture of foreign objects
is present or not is automatically judged. This image processing uses the optimal procedure for each
preset inspection object.

2.7 Overview of image processing
2.7.1 Role of each foreign object detection level
2.7.1.1 Processing from level 1 to level 5
This machine detects foreign objects inside the inspection object by processing a transmission image
with five types of detection sensitivity (level 1 to level 5). The object size that can be sampled varies
according to the level.
For level 1 to level 4, various sized foreign objects can be sampled by processing a transmission image
with four types of detection sensitivity. Level 5 is used for further advanced inspection.
Detection sensitivity levels and their processing abilities are shown in the following table.
Level Marking color Detection method Foreign objects to be detected

1 Red Small size foreign objects (2 mm or less)

Not used in the default setting
5 Purple — (This level should be customized by auto set depending on the foreign
object size.)
• Level 5 should be separately set up according to the properties of inspection objects. Before
setting up level 5, it is necessary to make sure that foreign objects were properly detected by
level 1 to level 4. For the level 5 setting, refer to "6.5.8.2 Sensitivity optimization".
Level 1 processing
In Level 1, foreign objects are sampled using an algorithm that can efficiently sample small size foreign
objects and foreign objects with large gray variations.

2.7.1.2 Reduction level processing
A reduction level can be set up for each level. Inspection

False detections around the edge of inspection object
object can be reduced by setting up the
reduction level.
For false detections that occur around the edge
of inspection object, increase of the reduction
level is more effective than decrease of the
sensitivity level. However, the sensitivity at the Foreign object
foreign object part gradually decreases as the sampling
Foreign object
reduction level is increased, which could
disable to detect foreign objects.
The reduction level is used for inspection
objects in which false detections easily occur
around the inspection target. It is also used
when the package mask is impossible.
1. When a foreign object is sampled, the edge of False detection
inspection object is sampled at the same time,
and it is difficult to sample only the foreign
object.
False detection

density level
2. When the reduction level is increased, the

sampling level for the inspection object is
decreased. As a result, it becomes easy to
sample only foreign objects.

3. By setting the reduction level to an appropriate

numeric value, and it is possible to sample only
foreign objects with high sensitivity.

2.7.1.3 Density level processing
A density level can be set up for each level. Inspection

By setting up the density level, false detections object
due to small projections and depressions on the
inspection object are ignored and foreign
objects larger than such projections and
depressions can be detected stably.
For false detections due to projections and
depressions on a relatively small area on the
inspection object, increase of the density level Foreign object

is more effective than decrease of the
sensitivity level. However, when the density
level is increased, it may become impossible to
detect small size foreign objects.

2.7.2 Role of each mask function
This machine uses three types of mask methods. This section explains the processing method for each
mask.
Mask name Processing method

Brightness Ignores inspection for the areas at which the gray value is brighter than a certain value.
Ignores inspection for a certain width around the perimeter of the inspection target.
Package
(Upper, lower, right, and left mask widths can be set up separately.)
Pattern Ignores the areas including inspection for images similar to the registered images after search.
2.7.2.1 Brightness mask
In the brightness mask setting, the area can be expanded or reduced by eroding or dilating the inspection
target. When the inspection target was eroded, it may become impossible to detect small foreign objects
outside the inspection target.
The outside shape of the inspection area can be smoothed by setting the number of times that are eroded
and the number of times that are dilated to appropriate numeric values. However, if the number of times
that are eroded is set to the value other than 0, it may become impossible to detect foreign objects outside
the inspection target.
Inspection object threshold
Depending on the X-ray irradiation angle against the inspection object container, the edge of the
container may be strongly detected. The boundary level should be set up so that the part detected strongly
than actual is ignored depending on the X-ray irradiation angle.
Erosion width and dilatation width
When the reduction level was decreased to the extent that the inspection object container is not
erroneously regarded as a foreign object, it may become impossible to detect foreign objects to be
detected. At this time, settings are performed in order to mask the container section as a blind area.
The values to be set are erosion width and dilatation width.
For the area brighter than the inspection object threshold of the transmission image as a "background
area" and for the area darker than that as an "inspection object area," "a mask" means the area that gets
into the inspection object area from the boundary between two areas by the erosion width.
When the background area exists between the container and the contents and the contents are covered
with the mask area as a result of masking the container, erode the inspection object area temporarily and
eliminate the background area between the container and the contents. Then, set up the dilatation width.
• The erosion width and dilatation width can be set up by ±1.6 mm Only the inspectable range
is displayed on the screen.
As the erosion width or dilatation width increases, it takes longer time to process the image.
As a result, the inspection speed in the snap mode or conveyor speed in the continuous mode
may be restricted.

digitalized and cut out, then the inspection area target
can be dilated or eroded. When the inspection
target was eroded, it may become impossible to
detect small foreign objects located outside the
inspection target. The outside shape of the
inspection area can be smoothed by setting the
number of erosion times and the number of
dilation times to appropriate values. Foreign object Foreign object Tray
When a foreign object is sampled, the tray is sampling

to sample only the foreign object.

2.7.2.3 Pattern mask
In this mask method, the image pattern of the area to be excluded from inspection is saved in the
machine. Then, the machine checks whether the transmission image obtained from inspection is similar
to the saved image pattern. If a similar pattern was searched, the area is excluded from inspection.
This method is mainly used to prevent certain image characterizing portions in the transmission image,
e.g., swaged parts at both ends of a sausage, from being falsely detected.

2.7.3 Image mode
There are three kinds of image modes: "snap mode," "semi-continuous mode," and "continuous mode."
Snap mode
In the snap mode, inspection objects are inspected one by one. Imaging is performed only while the
inspection object is passing on the line sensor position, and the obtained image is processed and
inspected immediately after the object passed through. After the inspection is completed, the machine
waits for the next inspection object.
Timing for starting external output of the inspection result is immediately after the inspection object
passed through the line sensor position. The maximum length of the inspection object in the flow
direction should be 450 mm or less and the intervals between inspection objects should be 30 mm or
more.
If an optional object sensor is mounted to the machine, it is possible to detect where the inspection object
is located. This sensor is used for inspecting thin objects that are difficult to detect their location.
Conveyor
Inspection object
Fig. 2-20 Example of snap mode
Semi-continuous mode
In the semi-continuous mode, imaging is continuously performed while the conveyor is moving,
regardless of whether an inspection object is present or not. When the conveyor goes forward by a certain
length, the image within that zone is subjected to inspection processing in block.
This mode is used when intervals between inspection objects cannot be ensured even if they are
individual packages or when it is impossible to detect a location of inspection objects.
Fig. 2-21 Example of semi-continuous mode
Continuous mode
In the snap mode or semi-continuous mode, inspection objects of which X-ray transmission image is
very bright may not be recognized as inspection objects and the X-ray transmission image may not be
displayed. In such cases, the continuous mode is recommended.
2-23
2.7.4 About Dark enhanncement and Image enhance
There are two functions for adjusting the image contrast, "Dark enhanncement" and "Image enhance".
"Analog processing is performed in "Dark enhanncement" and digital processing in "Image enhance".
2.7.4.1 About Dark enhanncement
By adjusting the image contrast using the Dark enhancement, brightness of the dark area in the
transmission image is adjusted and then it becomes easy to detect foreign objects.For inspection objects
in which foreign objects are difficult to detect only by adjusting the contrast using "Image
enhance" (e.g., thick products such as canned food and block meat), contrast adjustment by "Dark
enhancement" is particularly effective.
• Dark enhancement cannot be used in IX-G-2450.

• The setting value for "Dark enhancement" is automatically set up by the auto set of X-ray
power. (Refer to "6.5.7 Level 5".)
• The setting value for "Dark enhancement" can be changed on the X-ray power • Dark
enhancement screen. (Refer to "6.6.1 Setting X-ray power • Dark enhancement".)
• For the setting range of "Dark enhancement", the upper limit value is changed according to
the speed of the inspection conveyor, as shown in the table below.
Table 2-1 Settable upper limit value for Dark enhancement

2-24
< Enhancement example of soybean package >

1. When the Dark enhancement level is low
When the Dark enhancement level is low,
brightness of the inspection object is slightly
reduced. In this condition, gray variations of
foreign objects are small and it is difficult to
detect the objects.
(Dark enhancement in the figure is 20.)
Fig. 2-22 Dark enhanncement "20"
2. When the Dark enhancement level is suitable

When the Dark enhancement level is set
appropriately, almost the whole of the
inspection object is included in the area
enhanced by the Dark enhancement.
Because the inspection object is displayed
brightly and gray variations of foreign objects
become large, it becomes easy to detect foreign
objects.
3. When the Dark enhancement level is too high

When the Dark enhancement level is set too
high, the area which is not targeted for Dark
enhancement is widened in the inspection
object.
In the area excluded from Dark enhancement,
gray variations of both inspection object and
foreign objects become bright, which makes it
difficult to detect foreign objects.
2.7.4.2 Enhance level and Enhance area
Set up these items to enhance the contrast for the area to be especially inspected with high sensitivity.
Foreign objects on the enhanced gray area can be detected with high sensitivity.
However, contrast on the gray area away from the enhanced gray area is reduced. Sensitivity for foreign
objects on the reduced gray area may be decreased. To prevent this, it is necessary to make a setting so
that appropriate contrast can be ensured for the whole gray area to be inspected.
2-25
How to see the enhancement graph

< e.g.: Enhance level 3, Enhance area
30 >
1. Meaning: Approximately 30% contrast before
enhancement is tripled (i.e. gray variation is
increased by three times).
25 to 35% gray variation of the original image
is enhanced up to 17 to 44% after setting.
However, 60 to 70% gray variation of the

original image is reduced up to 88 to 93% after
enhancement.
TIP
• This setting is used to inspect products with
thickness. Contrast for the relatively dark area of
the original image is enhanced and foreign
objects on the area can be detected with high
sensitivity. However, contrast for the bright area
is reduced and thus sensitivity on the area is Fig. 2-25 enhancement graph
decreased.
< Enhancement example of retort curry >

1. Without enhancement
On the screen without enhancement, the image
of the inspection object is slightly dark. The
gray variation of the inspection object is small
under this state, i.e. the object cannot be
detected easily.
Fig. 2-26 Enhance LV: 1, Enhance area: 50
2. Moderate enhancement
When the Enhance area is set to 30 and enhance
level is to 3, contrast for approximately 30%
brightness is tripled. The inspection object
becomes brighter and the gray variation of
foreign objects is increased. Thus, foreign
objects can be detected more easily.
2-26
3. The Enhance area is too small.

When the enhance area is set to 0, the gray
scales of both the inspection object and foreign
objects become too bright. As a result, it
becomes difficult to detect foreign objects.
4. The Enhance area is too large.

When the Enhance area is set to 80, the gray
scales of both the inspection object and foreign
objects becomes too dark. As a result, it
becomes difficult to detect foreign objects.
< Enhancement example of margarine >

1. Without enhancement
On the screen without enhancement, the image
of the inspection object is too dark and the gray
variation of the foreign objects is destroyed.
2. Moderate enhancement
When the Enhance area is set to 0 and enhance
level to 5, the gray scale of the inspection object
becomes bright, because the density of
margarine is relatively high. As a result, the
gray variation of foreign objects is increased
and foreign objects can be detected more easily.
2-27
2.7.4.3 Enhance limit
By setting the enhance limit in addition to dark enhancement and image enhance, the dark area can be
enhanced clearly while maintaining the gray variations on the bright area.
< Example: Enhance level 3, Enhance

area 0, Enhance limit 80 >
1. In the gray variations before enhancement, only
the 80% range of the dark area side is enhanced.
The 20% range of the bright area side is not
enhanced.
Fig. 2-32 Enhance limit graph
2-28
2.7.5 Weight estimation
This section describes the details of the weight estimation function and manner of operation for
increasing the precision of this function.
2.7.5.1 Weight estimation function
A function to estimate the weight of inspection objects is provided as one of the function for the missing
item inspection.
Using this function, a special imaging process is given to the X-ray transmission image and the weight
is estimated from the brightness of the obtained image. It is possible to not only estimate the total weight
of the whole inspection object but also estimate the weight of the individual object among several
inspection objects packaged together.
• Before using the weight estimation function, it is necessary to set up "X-ray power", "Dark
enhancement" and "Image enhance" and then make the machine learn the relationship
between the inspection object image and weight according to the procedure of "Weight
estimate optimization" for auto set.
For the operation procedure of weight estimate optimization, refer to "6.5.8.3 Weigher
function optimize."

2-29
• The weight is the value estimated from the brightness of the X-ray transmission image. It is
not the value measured by a measuring instrument.
• Do not use the weight estimated by this machine for the purpose of official management.
• When the setting contents that can affect the brightness of the "X-ray power", "Dark
enhancement", and "Image enhance" images were changed, perform the weight estimate
optimization again to make the machine retry learning.
• For a thick inspection object or when objects with remarkably different density are mixed on
the same image as in a canned food (food and metal), the weight may not be estimated.
• The estimated weight for the individual object is calculated only from the image of the
individually separated inspection object area.
The total weight is estimated from the image on the whole screen. Because the areas out of
the range specified for the individual weight are included in calculating the "sum of the
individual weights" is not equal to the "total weight."
2-30
2.7.5.2 For accurate weight estimation
Perform "Weight estimate optimization" for auto set. (For the operation procedure, refer to " 6.5.8.3
Weigher function optimize."
In weight estimate optimization, take images of a single sample of which weight is already known for
10 times.
At this time, intentionally produce an overlap, unbalanced state, etc., take images under various
conditions, and make the machine learn them
• If optimization is performed using 10 images taken under similar conditions, the estimated
value may not be calculated accurately when inspection objects with different conditions are
inspected.
Referring to the following examples, take images of the inspection object after producing various
conditions.
Flat state Unbalanced state Deformed state
Fig. 2-34 Example: Frozen pilaf
Overlap: None Degree of overlap: middle Degree of overlap: minor
Fig. 2-35 Example: Sausage packed in bag
2-31
2.8 External NG output
2.8.1 Conditions that make inspection impossible
In the following cases, the inspection is impossible. The machine suspends processing for the
immediately preceding inspection object that was regarded as NG and performs processing for a newly
obtained transmission image.
In this case, a message is displayed on the screen and an NG signal is output.
NG signal output is not in time.

When the conveyor speed setting is fast and the NG output delay interval setting is short, the NG signal
output is not in time. In this case, the machine error screen displays a message. Slow down the conveyor
speed or move the discharge unit downstream.
Overlong object length

The object length that can be inspected in the snap mode is 450 mm or less against the flow direction.
(There is no limitation for the continuous (semi-continuous/continuous) modes.) If the object length
exceeds this limit, the inspection object does not fall in one screen and cannot be inspected. When
inspecting an object exceeding 450 mm in length, set up the mode to continuous or semi-continuous.
2.8.2 Priority of inspection results
This machine displays the following eight kinds of inspection results.
Inspection result Priority

1 Test High ↑
2 Length Error
3 Out of range
4 Foreign object
5 Missing item
6 Metal detect
7 External NG
8 Good Low ↓
If several NG factors occurred simultaneously, the factor with highest priority is displayed as the
inspection result according to the above list of priorities, and the corresponding NG signal is output.
For example, "Foreign object," "Missing item," and "Metal detect" occurred simultaneously, "Foreign
object," which is the highest priority, is displayed as the inspection result. Then, the corresponding NG
signal is output.
Note that it is possible to give the highest priority to "Metal detect" or "External NG" (higher priority
than "Test"). If you prefer this setting, contact our customer service window.

Checking the number of missing items

When this function is used, the product is judged as NG if a missing item (NG item) is detected.
Missing items mentioned here indicate the inspection objects in which any of permissible ranges for the
area, perimeter, gray peak, and gray sigma is out of the set range.
When this checkbox is marked, "whether or not any NG item is included" is inspected first, and then
whether the number of items excluding NG items is within the proper count setting. Thus, even if the
proper count is within the setting, the product that includes even a single NG item is judged as "NG:
missing item."
When this function is not used, "whether or not any NG item is included" is not used for judgment. Thus,
the inspection object is judged as good if the proper count is within the set range.
Weight estimation
As one of the functions for the missing item inspection, a function to estimate the weight of an inspection
object is provided.
By using this function, a special image processing is performed on the inspection result image and the
weight is estimated from the brightness of the obtained image.
In addition to the estimation of the total weight of the whole inspection object, the weight of the
individual inspection object among the several inspection objects packaged together can be estimated if
the area can be separated on the image.
• To use the weight estimation function, it is necessary to perform the auto set and then make
the machine learn the relationship between the inspection object image and weight. After
setting "X-ray power", "Dark enhancement", and "Image enhance", make the machine learn
the relationship between the inspection object image and weight according to the procedure
of "Weight optimize" for auto set.
• The estimated weight is a value calculated from the brightness of the inspection result image,
which is different from the actual measured weight.
Do not regard it as a regal proper weight.
• When objects with remarkably different density are mixed on the image, in an inspection of
objects composed of both metal and food such as a canned food, for example, the weight
cannot be estimated accurately.

7 Machine Maintenance
This chapter describes how to clean and adjust the machine.

In order to use the machine for a long term, or in order to obtain accurate inspection results, it is
necessary to maintain the machine after each single day operation or at regular time intervals.
7.1 Before maintenance

Thoroughly read and observe the following precautions.
Before starting maintenance, press to stop the conveyor. If the conveyor is

operating during maintenance, hands or clothes may be caught in it.
Before starting maintenance, be sure to turn OFF the power to the machine.
The inspection door is provided with an interlock function; however, maintenance
with the power ON may cause impairment to human bodies.
It is advisable to clean the conveyor belt every day. Use under a dirty state
propagates unwanted bacteria which may result in unsanitary environments.
If the machine is operated when the conveyor remains dirty, foreign objects will be
falsely detected, which results in inaccurate inspection. Even if dirt is indistinctive,
be sure to clean the belt at least once a week.
The inspection room door weighs approximately 10 kg. Open it slowly with both
hands. Do not release the hands from the door until it is fully opened. Release of
hands while opening the door may result in injuries or damage to the machine.
When closing the inspection room door, lift up the door with both hands and push it
until a click is heard. Release the hands after making sure that the inspection room
door was locked. If the door is not locked, the door may fall forward, which could
result in injuries.
Do not fold the protective curtain. It contains lead. Use of the folded protective
curtain may result in X-ray leakage accidents.
When washing inside of the inspection room with water, be sure to use running water
of 50 °C or less. When dirt cannot be removed, wipe it off with a soft cloth or use
ethanol.
Do not use boiling water or steam. Otherwise, vapors enter into the machine, which
may result in failures.
For cleaning of the inspection room, wipe the room using a cloth moistened with a
designated cleaning solvent (neutral detergent) and then wipe it using a cloth
moistened with water. Do not use cleaning solvents such as hypochlorous acid.
Do not use cleaning solvents such as hypochlorous acid, which may damage the line
sensor part (black resign part of the line sensor cover).
Do not use organic solvents, which may damage the machine.
For the procedure of conveyor belt cleaning, refer to "7.2.2 Cleaning of conveyor."

7 Machine Maintenance IX-G Series INSTRUCTION MANUAL
After washing each part with water, be sure to wipe off water droplets before
mounting. Starting the machine mounted by any part without removing water
droplets may cause the conveyor belt to run idle, which could damage the machine.
After washing the air filter with water, be sure to dry it before mounting. If it is
mounted under a moistened state, water enters into the machine, which may result
in failures. When drying the filter, let it dry naturally without exposing it to the direct
sunlight.
IP66 (only for the inspection room)
• It prevents dust from entering into the machine.
• It can withstand water spray of 100 liters per minute 2.5 to 3 m away from all directions by a nozzle of

7.3.4 Cleaning of air filter
The cooling fan mounted to this machine plays a role in preventing temperature rise inside the machine.
If the air filter built in the cooling fan is clogged, temperature in the machine rises, which may result in
problems such as inaccurate inspection results.
Air filters are mounted to two portions respectively both sides of the equipment and back sides of the
machine, accordingly six portions in total.
WARNING
• Before cleaning, be sure to turn OFF the power to the machine. If the power
remains ON, the machine may unexpectedly operate, which could cause
injuries.

2. Loosen and remove the knurled screws that
secure the filter cover by hand.
