  • Page 8: Radiological Safety Information

    FT-70/75. Understanding Radiological Safety The Filtec Model FT-70/75 utilizes an x-ray tube to produce the x-ray radiation required for performing inspection activities. The secured and insulated x-ray source housing completely contains and shields all high voltage components within the x-ray housing assembly.

  • Page 9: Radiological Safety Guidelines

    FT-70/75 Fill Level Inspectors Operator’s Guide Radiological Safety Guidelines 1. Do not tamper with the x-ray housing. 2. Do not place the hands between the x-ray source and the detector when the x-ray is turned on. 3. If you have any questions regarding the x-ray safety or operation, contact Industrial Dynamics.

    Additional inspection options, such as Missing Cap Detection, Missing Label Detection, and Smashed Bottle Detection, may be added to the FT-70/75 to enhance its functionality. For more infor- mation see “Optional System Features” on page 1-6. Figure 1-1. The FT-70/75 Fill Level Inspector.

  • Page 17: Fill Level Inspection Basics

    To allow for slight variances in the fill level an Underfill Threshold and Overfill Threshold are determined (both for the FT-75 and one or the other for the FT-70). These thresholds form the tolerance range for deviation from the Master Profile. This tolerance range between the thresholds is called the Target Zone.

  • Page 18: Rejection Control Basics

    FT-70/75 uses a high-resolution encoder coupled directly to the conveyor drive sprocket. The encoder sends timing pulses to the FT-70/75 which uses the pulses to determine the container’s position as it moves along the conveyor between the FT-70/75 and the rejector.

  • Page 25: The Safety Interlock Switch

    The Safety Interlock Switch The Safety Interlock Switch is a physical on/off switch located on the top of the FT-70/75. This switch must be turned on to enable the X-ray Generator. Other than for an emergency there is no need to turn the Safety Interlock Switch off.

  • Page 26: Container Changeover

    The FT-70/75 is equipped will certain features that allow you to change between different container types easily. If the production line the FT-70/75 is installed on is designed to produce more than one size or type of container, this procedure will explain how to reconfigure the unit for a different container type.
