North Star Imaging's Digital X-ray Systems With robotiX®

Robotic capabilities for x-ray inspection of large parts

Automatic loading and unloading of large parts for digital X-ray inspection is now available on the larger Computed Tomography systems manufactured by North Star Imaging (NSI). NSI's robotiX: https://4nsi.com/innovations/robotix.


Larger parts, such as automotive carburetors and airplane blades, can easily be loaded, scanned, and unloaded into the NSI X-ray system using a simple interface that allows users to create robotic control programs. These programs allow for reusable safe zone sub-routines that speed up the programming process to ensure that your NSI X-ray or CT system is up and running quickly when programming new parts for loading/unloading.

Adding robotiX to your NSI system reduces cycle time, increases productivity and allows for more efficient use of your X-ray equipment.

North Star Imaging, an ITW company, manufactures, sells and services state-of-the-art X-ray Imaging systems and Computed Tomography equipment for industrial use, and designs and develops software applications for its systems. NSI has a standard range of 7 extremely flexible products to meet varied requirements. Other services include need-based X-ray/CT scanning and consulting and Technical Service & Support. NSI's corporate office is in Minnesota (USA) with added sites in California, Massachusetts, Paris, London and Suzhou (China). NSI is an ISO 9001:2015 certified company. https://4nsi.com/

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
