Even Better Together: X-ray meets Weighing and Vision Inspection

In production environments where space is tight, quality assurance must remain just as reliable as in larger facilities. Wipotec addresses this challenge with a modular approach: starting with an X-ray inspection system, it can be extended with a checkweigher (SC-W), a vision inspection system (SC-V), or both (SC-W-V)—depending on your requirements.

This approach delivers space-saving integration of perfectly complementary technologies, all operated via a single, user-friendly interface.

With throughput of up to 300 packages per minute per lane, these systems guarantee uncompromising reliability, even in multi-lane configurations. Alongside accurate foreign body detection, they ensure precise weight checking and automatic ejection of incorrect items—all without slowing down production.

The SC-W combines the benefits of X-ray inspection with a high-precision checkweigher. Foreign body detection and accurate weight verification are carried out in one system, enabling space-efficient and cost-effective quality assurance.

When products require vision inspection from above or below in addition to foreign body detection, the SC-V provides the perfect solution. It verifies printed information such as batch numbers, best-before dates, and barcodes, while also checking label placement and readability.

An additional benefit: the SC-V can operate without radiation curtains, making it particularly well-suited for lightweight goods such as mini cakes, biscuits, or brownies.

For the most comprehensive solution, the SC-W-V unites X-ray inspection, checkweighing, and vision inspection in a single unit. From barcode verification to OCR/OCV checks, cover film inspection, and precise weight measurement, all tasks are handled through one hygienic, stainless-steel system with IP54 protection class.

The flexibility of Wipotec’s combined inspection systems makes them suitable for a wide range of industries:

• Food production: Detect foreign bodies, verify weight, and ensure accurate label placement in bakery products, confectionery, dairy, and ready meals.
• Pharmaceuticals: Combine blister pack inspection with precise weight checks and label verification, ensuring compliance with strict regulatory standards.
• Consumer goods & cosmetics: Guarantee correct filling, detect contamination, and confirm packaging integrity in compact spaces where efficiency is key.

By uniting multiple inspection functions in one compact unit, manufacturers benefit from streamlined processes, reduced footprint, and simplified operation—without compromising on safety or product quality.

Whether you choose a two-technology or three-technology configuration, the result is a significant gain in quality assurance without sacrificing valuable production space. Seamless integration into existing lines reduces handling steps, while the unified interface simplifies operation.

From foreign body detection to weight accuracy and label verification, every function works in harmony to ensure your products leave the line exactly as they should.
