Ishida — a world leader in weighing and inspection since 1893 — brought a new generation of X-ray systems to market in 2016, engineered to deliver flagship detection performance at a significantly lower initial investment than legacy X-ray brands. (We represent Ishida's X-ray systems and checkweighers.)
The heart of the range is Ishida's self-learning Genetic Algorithm (GA) image processing. The system runs your actual product images through successive analysis trials, evolving the image filters that best expose contaminants for your product. Combined with dual-energy sensor options on the IX-G2 series, Ishida X-ray reliably finds low-density and thin contaminants — bone fragments, shell, glass, stone, rubber — even in overlapping or variable-thickness products.

Open the Interactive Line Builder →Optimum-value general purpose X-ray for packaged foods; metal, glass, stone, dense plastic, rubber, and bone detection with GA image processing.
Ultimate sensitivity for low-density contaminants — poultry bone, shell, cartilage — even in thick or overlapping product.
For upright containers, cans, and bottles where a top-down beam can't see the full package.
Simultaneous count verification, fill level, missing item, and shape checks at no extra cycle time.
| Feature | Advantage | Benefit to You |
|---|---|---|
| Genetic Algorithm self-learning image analysis | Image filters evolve and optimize against your real product over trial runs | Detects difficult, low-contrast contaminants at high line speeds — catching what fixed-filter X-ray systems miss |
| Dual-energy line sensor (IX-G2) | Separates density differences from thickness differences in the image | Reliably finds bone and shell in meat and poultry — protecting your brand where the risk is highest |
| Simplified operator interface | High-level sensitivity setup without an imaging specialist | Your line techs manage changeovers and validation in-house; less training cost, fewer setup errors |
| Lower initial investment design | Flagship detection engineering in a value-focused platform | X-ray-grade quality assurance becomes affordable for mid-size processors, not just multinationals |
| Simultaneous quality inspections | Count, fill, and shape checks ride along with contaminant detection | One machine replaces several checkpoints — less floor space, fewer maintenance items |
Industries served: Meat & poultry, seafood, produce, cereals, bakery, ready meals, pharmaceutical
Every false reject sends good, sellable product to rework or the bin. Drag the sliders to your line's numbers — modern detection technology drives this to near zero.
