Fully automatic X-ray systems with robots have meanwhile been integrated into the production process as standard inspection equipment. Modern foundries produce in 3-shift operation, 7 days a week. The X-ray systems Y.MU56, Y.MU59 and Y.MU56K, a system specially optimized for pistons, were developed to be able to keep up with those kinds of production capacities. Robots from different suppliers are used in these systems.

The wide variety of anomalies inside cast parts is enormous. Some parts are components that bear a relevance to vehicle and passenger safety. The quality and reliability of these parts must comply with strict specifications. Y.PXV5000 is a core element of these YXLON X-ray systems and ensures fully automatic control and image analysis during inline X-ray inspection.
