XRay Machine
The XRay Machine component is used to set the screening result of products travelling on transporting equipment (typically conveyors). When a product travels through the XRay Machine, the product receives a screening by the machine (Level 1 screening).
If the screening is Rejected, and Level 2 Screening Operators are enabled, the product will receive a Level 2 status or a Timeout Status if the screening operator didn't complete the Level 2 screening before the XRay timeout.
Create a XRay Machine
From the Toolbox, simply drag and drop a XRay Machine into the simulation.
Access an XRay Machine
In Project Explorer, click on Equipments > XRay Machine. Or simply click on the XRay machine in the simulation.
XRay Machine Properties
- Connections/Source - Name of the conveyor or transporting equipment where the XRay Machine reads from.
- Connections/Source Distance - The distance along the Source component where the screening occurs.
- Length - Length of the XRay Machine.
- Width - Width of the XRay Machine.
- Height - Height of the XRay Machine.
- Reject Rate (%): percentage of rejected products at Level 1
- Last Screening Result: True if the last screening product was Cleared, False if rejected.
- Operator Timeout: Maximum time allowed for Level 2 operator (if any) to provide a screening result. The XRay will set the Level 2 screening result to "Timeout". If no Level 2 operator are enabled, alls products will be either cleared or rejected (no timeout).
- Min/Mean/Max Screening Time (seconds): specify the time taken to deliver the Level 1 result (normal distribution with minimum, maximum and mean parameters).
- Last Screening Time (seconds): time taken to deliver the screening result of the last product screened.
