Industrial X-ray Inspection Systems - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

Industrial X-ray inspection system is a professional equipment that uses X-rays to penetrate objects and detect the internal structure and defects of objects according to the changes in the intensity of the rays during the penetration process. It plays an extremely important role in industrial production and is a key technical means to ensure product quality and production safety.

Its working principle is based on the characteristics of X-rays. X-rays are electromagnetic waves with extremely short wavelengths and high energy. They can penetrate many substances that are opaque to visible light. When X-rays pass through the object being inspected, the degree of absorption of X-rays is different due to the differences in different materials, densities and structures inside the object. For example, for defects such as pores and cracks in metal parts, they have different densities from the surrounding metal materials. When X-rays pass through these defective areas, the degree of absorption will be less than that of normal areas, thus forming different signal intensities on the detector. The detector converts the received X-ray signal into an electrical signal or a digital signal, which is then analyzed and processed by the image processing system to finally generate an internal image of the object being inspected. By observing these images, the inspector can determine whether there are defects inside the object and the location, size and shape of the defects.

Industrial X-ray inspection system mainly consists of X-ray source, detector, mechanical motion device, image processing system and control system. X-ray source is the core component of X-ray generation. It accelerates electrons through high voltage and makes them hit metal target to generate X-ray. Common X-ray sources include closed X-ray tube and open X-ray tube. Closed X-ray tube is compact and easy to use, but has relatively low power. Open X-ray tube can provide higher power and more stable ray output, which is suitable for detection occasions with high penetration requirements. Detector is used to receive X-rays passing through the object to be inspected and convert it into a signal that can be processed. Common detectors include scintillator detector, amorphous silicon flat panel detector, etc. Scintillator detector converts X-rays into visible light, and then photodiode or photomultiplier tube converts visible light into electrical signal; amorphous silicon flat panel detector directly converts X-rays into electrical signal, with high resolution and sensitivity. Mechanical motion device is used to realize relative movement between the object to be inspected and X-ray source and detector, so as to comprehensively detect different parts of the object. Common movement modes include translation and rotation. The image processing system is responsible for processing and analyzing the signals collected by the detector, including image enhancement, noise reduction, defect identification, etc., to improve the image quality and detection accuracy. The control system is used to coordinate the work of each component to realize the automatic control of the detection process. The operator can set the detection parameters, start and stop the detection process, etc. through the control system.

In the application field, industrial X-ray detection systems are widely used in multiple industries. In the electronics manufacturing industry, it is used to detect the quality of solder joints on circuit boards, structural defects inside chips, etc., to ensure the reliability and stability of electronic products. In the automobile manufacturing industry, it can detect internal defects of automobile parts, such as engine cylinders and wheels, to ensure the driving safety of automobiles. In the aerospace field, aircraft engine blades, fuselage structural parts, etc. are inspected to detect potential defects in time and prevent flight accidents. In the casting industry, it is used to detect defects such as internal pores, sand holes, shrinkage holes, etc. of castings to improve the quality and yield of castings. In addition, in the food, pharmaceutical, plastic products and other industries, industrial X-ray detection systems can also be used to detect foreign matter and internal structural defects in products to ensure product quality and safety.

Compared with other detection methods, industrial X-ray detection systems have many advantages. First, it has the characteristics of non-contact detection, which will not cause damage to the detected object and is suitable for the detection of valuables, precision parts, etc. Secondly, the detection speed is fast, and a large number of objects can be detected in a short time, which improves production efficiency. Moreover, the detection accuracy is high, and tiny defects can be detected to meet the needs of industries with high requirements for product quality. In addition, it can also detect objects of complex shapes, without being restricted by the surface shape of the object, and can obtain comprehensive information inside the object.

With the continuous development of industrial technology and the increasing requirements for product quality, industrial X-ray detection systems are also constantly innovating and progressing. In the future, it will develop in the direction of higher detection accuracy, faster detection speed, and more intelligent. On the one hand, by developing new X-ray sources and detectors, the resolution and sensitivity of the system can be improved to detect smaller defects. On the other hand, by using technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, automatic analysis and defect recognition of detection images can be realized to improve the accuracy and efficiency of detection. At the same time, the structure and performance of the system are continuously optimized to make it more compact and portable to adapt to different detection environments and application scenarios.
