Q:How accurate are X-ray inspection systems?

A:

X-ray inspection systems are highly accurate, typically detecting contaminants as small as 0.5–1.0 mm, depending on product type, packaging, and system settings. Modern systems with dual-energy or AI-based image analysis can reliably distinguish between different materials (metal, glass, stone, bone, plastic) and reduce false rejects. Accuracy also depends on proper calibration, line speed, and operator maintenance.
