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/

US Digital's New L2 Low Profile Motor Encoder

US Digital's New L2 Low Profile Motor Encoder

The L2 incremental encoder uses US Digital's proven EM1 optical encoder module and disk, which has billions of device-hours of dependable service in customer applications. This product continues US Digital's strong reputation for reliable, field-tested encoders. The L2 is US Digital's lowest height encoder that uses the EM1 module. It has a 0.75 in. bolt-spacing mount. The maximum resolution is 1250 CPR (5000 PPR with quadrature). The L2 is only available with a single-ended output. Another benefit of the L2 incremental encoder is its fast installation. The cover snaps onto the base to secure the module. It is designed for use with a high-retention connector or cable (sold separately). Like all US Digital products, the L2 is designed and manufactured in Vancouver, Washington, USA. It is backed by prompt access to our technical and customer service teams with same-day shipping on most orders.
