Machine Vision - X-ray Cameras?

4 posts in this topic

I'd like the ability to 'see' through 2mm mirror to inspect for a small rectangular piece of rubber behind the glass, do any xray cameras for machine vision exist for this application?

you could contact one of the food metal and x-ray inspection makers like Metler Toledo or Eriez and let their application engineers try t out. They make inspection systems for packaged foods that can find a piece of hard material like plastic or metal inside a stack of sliced sausages. They can be tuned to the materials and are usually washdown food grade rated machines and not inexpensive. http://us.mt.com/us/en/home/products/Product-Inspection_1/safelineus-xray.html?sem=10010127&bookedkeyword=%2Bx%20%2Bray%20%2Binspection%20%2Bsystems&matchtype=b&adtext=34041009559&placement=&adposition=1t2&sitelink=[name]&network=g

An X Ray system is normally used to detect high density foreign bodies in low density materials like foodstuffs. If your mirror is made from glass then its density will be much higher than that of the rubber so I doubt that you will be able to reliably detect the rubber part. Okie's suggestion is good though and a supplier of this type of machinery should be able to give you a quick answer as to the suitability for your application. You should also understand, however, that these machines are not like a normal camera and will include substantial shielding to protect the operators. It is also necessary in the UK to have a suitably trained and certified person on site to be responsible for radiology equipment so using this type of system is not something to take lightly.
