AIS X-Ray Micron Scan
The AIS X-Ray Micron Scan is 225x more powerful than a standard food inspection system.
Our newest and most advanced scanner offers a resolution 225 times more powerful than a standard x-ray food inspection system1.
Extremely Powerful Detection
The extremely high resolution of this scanner is achieved using advanced linear sensors that can accurately detect minute contaminants. Its detection capabilities are increased by the sensor being less dependent on the orientation and location of a foreign body within the product.
The Micron Scan excels at the inspection of loose products such as flours or powders where the contaminants are likely to be extraordinarily small and difficult to detect.
This level of detection is not possible on today’s high speed production lines. The Micron Scan is designed to operate off-line and – to achieve optimum accuracy – be operated by our expert staff.

AIS X-Ray Micron Scan FAQs
What can the Micron Scan detect?
Our highest resolution x-ray scanner can detect extraordinarily small contaminants:
- A sieve wire of just 0.2mm in a single item
- A piece of metal just 1.0mm sphere in a multi-pack or case
- Glass fragments down to 1.0mm
- As well as stone, calcified bone and certain rubbers and plastics
Can the new AIS X-Ray scanners operate on-line or near- line?
Ultra-high resolution sensors cannot match the high speeds used on modern production lines.
The AIS X-Ray Micron Scan is designed to operate off-line and be operated by AIS’ expert staff to achieve its optimum accuracy.
The AIS X-Ray Ultra Scan can be deployed at near-line and off-line locations.
How are the x-ray inspection machines set up?
All systems consist of a conveyor cabinet and x-ray generator plus high powered PC and software for x-ray detection and image processing.
To take full advantage of the higher resolution, the image processing hardware and software must be able to handle the data rate that the detectors produce. The hardware and software within the Micron Scan and Ultra Scan are optimised to handle these high data rates.
Can I hire x-ray inspection equipment?
Yes, some of our customisable x-ray inspection systems and metal detectors are available to rent at your premises. These can be hired, subject to availability, on flexible contract periods – usually for an immediate or short term requirement.
