X-Ray Weighing Technology: Exploding The Checkweigher Accuracy Myth

By Novus X-Ray LLC

At the time of this writing, it has been apparent for several years that there is a fundamental misunderstanding about the viability of an X-ray Inspection system to be used as a checkweighing device. The goal of this paper is to examine the reality and lay forth the facts surrounding this technology. The intent is to enable a sensible judgment to be made in determining if and when the inherent secondary ability of X-ray systems to checkweigh can and should be used versus using a conventional gravimetric electro-mechanical checkweigher (hereafter herein termed a "checkweigher").
