Abstract:
Non-destructive X-ray inspection machine for individually packaged products having a bottom and a lid or cap in separate zones. The machine comprises a conveying apparatus having a transport plane adapted to convey products with the bottom resting on the transport plane, at least two X-ray emitters adapted to emit X-rays so that X-rays pass through the products at a top-to-down angle and at a down-to-top angle, respectively, in an inspection zone comprised in the transport plane. In the machine, at least one of the two emitters is freely adjustable in height and/or orientable in angle, within a predetermined range, relative to the transport plane, whereby the bottom of the product is inspectable without the X-rays of the two emitters intercepting the lid or cap of the products and optimal projection of the bottom of the product can be obtained.
