Abstract:
An X-ray inspection apparatus capable of accurately inspecting a measuring object regardless of the physical properties of the measuring object and the like is provided. Included are: an X-ray emission means (110) for emitting an X-ray to an measuring object (W); an X-ray detection means (150) for detecting each X-ray photon transmitted through the measuring object by discriminating energy possessed by the photon into one or more energy region(s) in accordance with a predetermined threshold level; a storage means (141) for storing the measuring object and the threshold level which are directly or indirectly associated; a threshold level setting means (140) for referring to the storage means to keep a threshold level for the measuring object specified by inputted information so that the X-ray detection means can refer to the threshold level as the predetermined threshold level; and an inspection means (170) for inspecting the measuring object based on a number of photons or an amount corresponding to the number of the photons detected by the X-ray detection means for each of the one or more energy region(s).
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide an X-ray inspection system capable of blocking the effect of heat from an X-ray source, thereby making it possible to place a heat-sensitive circuit component in the same housing space as the X-ray source. [Solution] A housing 10 is provided with an upper housing space 11, in which an X-ray source 32 housed in a cooling container 30 is placed. Owing to pressure of a pump 36, a cooling medium circulates between the cooling container 30 and a heat radiating device 33, suppressing the temperature rise of the cooling container 30. Since the cooling container 30 is placed in the upper housing space 11, the upper housing space 11 serves as a cooling space, suppressing the temperature rise. Therefore, heat-sensitive or heat-producing circuit components can be placed in the upper housing space 11.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an electromagnetic wave detection module in which wiring is formed to connect each detection element of an electromagnetic wave detection means configured by arranging a plurality of detection elements for detecting an electromagnetic wave in a two-dimensional array and a predetermined connection destination outside the electromagnetic wave detection means with good manufacturability and so as not to cause trouble in the detection of an electromagnetic wave as much as possible. A detection element group consisting of M detection elements (M is an integer of 2 or more) arranged in the Y-axis direction is arranged in N rows (N is an integer of 2 or more) in the X-axis direction orthogonal to the Y-axis direction, and MxN wirings electrically connecting each of the M×N detection elements and a predetermined connection destination outside any one end of the electromagnetic wave detection means in the Y-axis direction are provided on the common substrate surface.

Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a package inspection system by which even if a package has a light non-transmissive wrapping, the relative position of the wrapping and the content can be accurately determined. [Solution] With X rays applied from an X-ray generator 10 to a package W1 being conveyed by a conveyor mechanism 6, first image data showing the outline of the content of the package W1 are generated from detection output from an X-ray sensor 13. On the other hand, second image data showing the outline of the wrapping of the package W1 are generated from detection output from an optical sensor 15. The relative position of the wrapping and the content is determined from the first image data and the second image data, so that failures, e.g., the content caught in a seal of the wrapping can be detected accurately.
