The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 849381.
Thanks to its unique properties, such as its capacity to characterise the chemical-physical components of the inspected materials, the XSpectra® system can be used in many sectors: food, waste and material recycling, pharmaceutics, metallurgy, plastics and composites, electronics, clothing, shoes, biomedical, extraction industry, and security controls.
The following table provides, for each main possible application sector, the in-line quality controls currently performed by conventional Non-Destructive Testing systems VS controls that could be executed by adopting XSpectra®.
Presence of high-density Foreign bodies (FB)
Identification of low- and high-density FB and food contamination
Control of packaging and non-compliant objects
Composition of materials to be processed and alterations after processing
Identification of type of waste (metal-plastic) presence of gas cylinders
Better partitioning of waste based on its chemical composition
Cold weldings in weldings of printed circuits
Reliability analysis of welded and other components
Gross identification of contaminants in leathers and fabrics
Precise identification of contaminants in leathers and fabrics
Presence of nails or protruding metal parts
Precise identification of contaminants in leather and fabrics
Gross analysis of prostheses and implants
Identification of possible dangerous contaminants
