Industrial Dynamics / filtec case and crate inspection systems can be ordered with either X-ray generators or Gamma sources. X-rays and Gamma rays are identical. A Gamma photon looks exactly like an X-ray photon. Gamma rays are generated by the natural degeneration of a radioisotope. X-rays are generated by an X-ray tube containing a cathode that emits electrons, which are accelerated toward an anode by a high voltage electric charge. Gamma sources are failure proof but require periodic wipe testing. X-ray generators must be replaced every three to six years, depending on usage.

X-ray and Gamma case and crate inspection systems work in the same manner. A sensor bridge is equipped with an X-ray generator or a Gamma source on one side and a highly sophisticated sensor on the other side. As each case passes through the sensor-bridge the data collected by the sensor is analyzed by sophisticated software which evaluates the data to determine whether the case or crate is properly filled. The system can detect missing cans or bottles, partially filled or empty containers or broken containers.
