AIS X-Ray Ultra Scan
The AIS X-Ray Ultra Scan is 15x more powerful than a standard food inspection system.
The AIS X-Ray Ultra Scan offers a resolution 15 times more powerful than a standard x-ray food inspection system1.
The x-ray scanner (although not as powerful as the new Micron Scan) uses advanced contaminant detection technology capable of detecting metal fragments of 0.2mm and a large range of non-metallic substances as low as 0.8mm:
- Glass, stone and calcified bone fragments
- Specific rubbers and plastics such as PTFE

Expert Staff
Powerful Detection Capabilities
The new scanner is typically deployed at near-line and off-line locations, as ultra-high resolution sensors cannot match the high speeds used on production lines.
Foil & frozen compatible
Accurate results through dense packaging

AIS X-Ray Ultra Scan FAQs
How do AIS’ new scanners compare with on-line equipment?
The main differentiator is the resolution achieved with the use of advanced linear sensors:
Standard x-ray inspection equipment for the food industry typically records 140,000 data points in a 15 x 15cm product.
AIS X-Ray Micron Scan achieves a resolution of 9,000,000 data points in the same sample. This additional resolution ensures detection of incredibly small foreign bodies and is much less sensitive to the orientation and location of the contaminant within the product.
AIS X-Ray Ultra Scan offers a resolution of 600,000 data points in the same sample of 15 x 15cm (achieving detection of contaminants as small as 0.4mm metal / 1.2 mm non-metallic substances).
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.

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.
