METTLER TOLEDO Product Inspection Group introduces the X56 DXD+ dual energy photon-counting x-ray inspection system with AI capabilities, expanding the innovative X6 Series portfolio. This system will be on display at Pack Expo International in booth 2122.
Designed specifically for packaged applications, the X56 DXD+ enables manufacturers to inspect every product with confidence by delivering enhanced contamination detection capabilities. This makes the x-ray solution ideal for challenging applications where low-density contaminants, such as rubber and plastics must be reliably detected. Food manufacturers benefit from protecting brand integrity and supporting premium product safety in complex formats, such as pet food, potato chips or potatoes. The X56 DXD+ makes compliance with regulatory and retailer requirements easier to achieve.
The X6 Series now offers manufacturers a full range of x-ray inspection solutions to suit different product sizes, from individual packs to large cases or multi-packs. The X56 DXD+ builds on the success of the X16 and X36.2 systems and brings advanced dual energy photon-counting capabilities for medium to large-sized products on single lanes or smaller packages running across multiple lanes, in a 500mm system width.
AI Inspection for Enhanced Quality Checks
AI integration helps to improve the quality and reliability of quality inspection tasks while reducing unnecessary product rejection. This is beneficial to overcoming inspection challenges in complex scenarios like overlapping or mixed products thereby contributing to increasing production process efficiencies. The AI integration is not limited to the X56 DXD+; it is also available on other x-ray systems within the METTLER TOLEDO product range.
Built for High levels of Performance and Flexibility
Powered by DXD+ detector technology and Advanced Material Discrimination Pro (AMD Pro) software, the X56 DXD+ delivers exceptional performance for complex applications that conventional single energy systems may struggle with, particularly when detecting low-density contaminants in packaged products with high variability in thickness, density or overlapping textures, such as multi-packs, bags of crisps or bulkier cartons. This high level of detection sensitivity supports effective quality control, even in noisy or high-contrast products where conventional systems may fall short.
This makes the X56 DXD+ a powerful complement to the X6 Series. The X16 is positioned for inspecting single packages at high speed and the X36.2 is customizable for more advanced, high-throughput environments and is available for multi-lane inspections.
Smart Design for Speed & Productivity
The X56 DXD+ has been designed with operational efficiency in mind. The system combines premium detection performance with an intuitive interface, toolless belt removal for fast cleaning and a robust hygienic design suited to high-speed, high-volume environments. With throughput rates of up to 500 products per minute, the X56 DXD+ matches the demands of production lines, helping manufacturers boost efficiency and combat rising operational costs through enhanced productivity and intelligent design.
Through built-in product quality tools including completeness checks, clip detection and product trapped in seal inspection, the X56 DXD+ also supports effective quality control by enhancing consistency and protecting brand integrity beyond contamination detection alone.
