ANRITSU CORPORATION Product Lineup

We are pleased to announce the release of a web seminar video where you can learn the basics of quality inspection machines in a fun way through animation. The first installment explains the mechanism of foreign object detection using X-ray inspection machines and the types of foreign objects that can be detected by X-rays. An animated character serves as the instructor, providing clear explanations while incorporating demonstration videos of actual machines and illustrations. This content is recommended not only for those who have never used X-ray inspection machines but also for those who are currently utilizing them. Please take a look at the related links and videos below.

While cameras are commonly used for pharmaceutical quality inspection, X-ray inspection systems offer a powerful solution for detecting internal defects and foreign materials in pharmaceutical products. To ensure pharmaceutical manufacturers can adopt X-ray inspection with confidence, Anritsu has been collaborating with the Ozeki Laboratory at Nagoya City University since 2011 to study the effects of X-ray exposure on pharmaceutical products. The results have confirmed that X-ray exposure does not affect product quality, including drug content and pharmaceutical preparation tests. Details of the testing methods and selected results are available in the provided materials.

Anritsu's x-ray solution provides 100% closed-pack,end-of-line product inspection with real-time analysis,which facilitates immediate corrective action. This system offers the following advantages: ・Ensures correct product dosage by verifying product size and count. ・Detects contaminants down to 0.3mm stainless steel.* ・Immediately Identifies packaging problems. ・Verifies package sealing to prevent product deterioration. *Application dependent

After packaging, the product cannot be seen because part or all of it is hidden by the packaging material. Aren't you concerned about the condition of the product, whether there are any foreign substances mixed in, or if there are any defects such as jamming? Internal inspection using X-ray inspection machines is effective for opaque packaging materials like aluminum foil, allowing various inspections such as missing items, defects, and shape checks to be conducted simultaneously with one machine. This leads to reduced manpower for inspections, avoidance of post-shipment troubles, and an increase in trust from business partners. Trust our company, which has over 20 years of experience and technical expertise, for your X-ray inspection machine needs.

In products such as sheet masks and tubes, the contents may overflow or some of the contents may adhere to the bag's opening, which can then be sealed (sealed) in that state. This type of defect is commonly referred to as "inclusion." The PDF explains the factors that lead to inclusion and provides representative examples of inclusion for each type of packaging. Additionally, to prevent products that have experienced inclusion from entering the market, we introduce inclusion inspection using X-rays. If you are interested, please feel free to download the materials.

In the pharmaceutical industry, detecting defects in the packaging process is crucial to ensure product quality and safety. Particularly in packaging forms such as PTP sheets and adhesive agents, the occurrence of "entrapment" of the contents is common, which can compromise product quality. Our X-ray inspection machine detects "entrapment" in the packaging process with high precision, contributing to ensuring product safety. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Packaging of PTP sheets, adhesive agents, and coating agents - Prevention of foreign matter contamination and insufficient content in the packaging process 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Improvement in product quality - Prevention of defective products reaching the market - Ensuring patient safety

In the cosmetics manufacturing process, improving product quality and yield is a significant challenge. In particular, "bite-through" at the sealing areas of sheet masks and tube products can lead to the occurrence of defective products and decrease process efficiency. This document analyzes the factors contributing to bite-through and presents case studies for different packaging forms. It also explains the effects of utilizing X-ray inspection to prevent the outflow of defective products and improve processes. 【Usage Scenarios】 * Quality control in cosmetics manufacturing processes * Yield improvement due to sealing defects * Foreign matter contamination measures using X-ray inspection 【Benefits of Implementation】 * Reduction of defective products * Improvement of process efficiency * Increased reliability from customers
