X-Ray Transmission and Backscatter Sensors

X-Ray Sensors offer a number of advantages over beta and gamma sensors, including greater precision, better streak detection, long-term stability and non-nuclear technology.

Since the X-ray sensor's energy output can be changed via digital power regulation, it can be optimized to run very efficiently over a wide range of product weights and thicknesses.
 
 
The Model 318 X-Ray Backscatter Gauge is used to measure a wide range of web products. It features beta-gauge like performance without the licensing issues associated with nucleonic gauges. Single-sided operation also translates to reduced purchasing and operating costs. Click here to download the brochure: NDC Xray Backscatter Sensor 318

 

The Model 312A X-Ray Transmission Gauge is designed to meet and exceed the measurement needs of plastics extrusion, non-wovens, and textile manufacturers.
 
With its small spot size and high energy flux, this sensor's streak resolution is superb. In addition, its digitally tunable high voltage power supply allows for maximum sensitivity in multiple applications. Typical basis weight range is 20 to 5000 gsm.

Three versions of the 312A sensor are available, each with differing slot geometries to maximize the desired measurement properties for a specific application.
 
 
All X-Ray sensor models offer the following features:
 
  • Excellent Cross-web Resolution for Precise Profile Control
  • Wide Weight/ Thickness Ranges in One Sensor
  • Excellent Measurement Stability
  • Optimized Sensitivity to Product
  • Non-Nuclear Technology
  • Long-term Stability and Accuracy
