SEPTEMBER 14--Image Scan Holdings, a provider of real-time multiview, 3-D x-ray imaging solutions for the industrial and security inspection markets, has received its first overseas order for its industrial 3-D x-ray in-line inspection system, X-Line. The $396,000 order, due for delivery late 2005, is from a major US-based supplier in the automotive sector and brings total industrial orders in the last nine months to more than £1M.
Image Scan's X-Line scanning system is an in-line x-ray inspection system that allows rapid high-resolution 2- and 3-D imaging of items in the production line--typically up to two-to three items per second. The X-Line system can incorporate a number of standard or customized analysis tools to help to automatically identify irregular or faulty items as they are produced. This information is used to reject faulty goods and, if appropriate, supply feedback information to optimize the manufacturing process--minimizing scrap, improving quality, and reducing costs.
Nicholas Fox, chief executive of Image Scan Holdings, commented: "The automotive sector represents a key market for Image Scan's 3- and 2-D inspection systems. We are delighted to have now received our first substantial order from the USA in this field, following the order of an MDXI inspection system in the same sector earlier this year. We remain encouraged by the increasing levels of interest in our industrial products and in the new security products due for launch later this year."
Image Scan Holdings is focused on the development and commercialization of real-time 3-D and 2-D x-ray solutions for use in the global industrial and security inspection markets. The company's industrial inspection solutions include the turnkey MDXI unit and the X-Line camera for in-line inspection. The company's security inspection solutions currently offer 2-D x-ray systems and the 3-D baggage-inspection system, AXIS-3-D, marketed by Rapiscan in its 3-DSP and 3-DLP product lines.
