Seven-Step Image Analysis for

High-Sensitivity Inspection
Proprietary 7-step image analysis technology detects foreign objects with high sensitivity. Supports increased
sensitivity in foreign object detection with selections from a library and the ability to register up to four GA
programs created for a product.

Easy to Operate
Easy Setting with Auto Set
It only takes a few passes of an item to be inspected for the machine to automatically optimize settings for x-ray output
(tube voltage and current), contrast (image enhancement), sensitivity level and other factors. With Auto Set you can achieve
a sensitivity setting that meets your objectives by selecting a setting level balance from three patterns.
Increasing the number of settings enables accurate sensitivity design. This improves the validity and reliability of the
inspection.

ISHIDA Global standard X-ray series
ISHIDA works closely with food manufacturers and processors to ensure that they can meet the strictest
guidelines set by quality-conscious retailers. ISHIDA X-ray inspection systems provide vital information
with the greatest accuracy and reliability to alert you when foreign bodies are contaminating your product.

Precise and reliable inspection

IISHIDA patented Genetic Algorithm (GA) image processing delivers superior inspection accuracy. In addition to the flexible
customization options for GA setting creation, many typical GA settings are already stored on the machine. Up to two (4)
different GA settings can exist at the same time.

User-friendly operation with Fail-safe feature

The 17" color touch display with 3D icons enables intuitive machine operation in
addition to well-organized production data output. Also, even if the Rejector breaks
down, Fail-safe rejects all products in the system so that NG products do not get
mixed with OK products.
