Use outside industrial production

  • The system must not be used for laboratory, medical, or research purposes.

  • Offline or stationary sample measurement is not permitted.

The RAYEX® S is designed only for inline measurement during continuous production.

Measuring unsuitable products

The RAYEX® S must not be used to measure:

  • Products with a non-round cross-section

  • Products made of high X-ray absorption materials such as copper or steel

  • Products that do not match the configured measurement parameters

Such use may result in invalid measurement values.

Measuring wet or partially wet products

  • Measuring wet, damp, or partially wet products is prohibited.

  • Moisture can affect X-ray absorption and compromise measurement accuracy.
