FILL LEVEL INSPECTION
CL600 X-RAY SYSTEM
CL600 X-Ray Fill Level Inspection for Metal, Glass and
Plastic Containers
The FT System CL600 X-ray sensor will inspect metal, glass and plastic
containers for fill level defects. The sensor is designed to mount easily
over an existing production conveyor. The ergonomic design provides
easy access the control panel and supports fast tool-less change overs.
The X-ray sensor can be used on still products such as water, juice and
tea, wine and spirits. The system can also be used on carbonated
beverages including beer and carbonated soft drinks.

The CL600 X-Ray System can
support filler valve monitoring
for
a
complete
fill
level
management solution.

X-RAY FILL LEVEL TECHNOLOGY – Theory of Operation
The FT System CL600 X-ray fill
level sensor is used to measure
the fill level in metal, glass and
plastic containers. The system
uses a low energy x-ray beam to
measure the density of the
product in the fill level region of
the container. The X-ray beam
passes through the container and
is attenuated by the product
blocking the beam. The amount
of energy attenuated by the
product is proportional to the
amount of product in the fill level
region.
The X-ray beam is
received by a linear diode array
that measures the energy of the
beam across the full width of the container. This analog data is used to
calculate the fill level.
