As India establishes itself as a global hub for electronics manufacturing, ensuring the internal structural integrity of intricate circuitry and heavy electrical units becomes critical.

Karma Innovations manufactures Made-in-India PCB and Electronic Component Inspection Systems based on advanced Digital Radiography (DR). To capture microscopic internal features, these systems are equipped with high-tech micro-focal X-ray sources and high-clarity flat-panel detectors. Operating primarily at tailored voltage configurations these systems non-destructively inspect hidden layers, multi-layer solder connections, and encapsulated assemblies without damaging sensitive components.

Critical Defects Detected in Electrical & Electronic Components

Using high-magnification real-time digital radiography software, manufacturers can instantly detect micro-level subsurface flaws:

• Solder Voids & Bridging: Air bubbles trapped inside BGA (Ball Grid Array) solder balls or unintended electrical connections between adjacent pins.
• Broken or Misaligned Wire Bonds: Microscopic internal gold or aluminium wires that have snapped, lifted, or shifted during encapsulation.
• Component Misalignment & Tombstoning: Passive components on a PCB that have lifted vertically or shifted off their pads during reflow soldering.
• Internal Structural Voids: Voids or shrinkage cavities within dense epoxy molded parts or ceramic insulation housings that compromise dielectric strength.
• Blown Fuse Links & Internal Disconnections: Hidden ruptures or physical damage inside high-capacity fuses or solenoids.

Critical Contaminants & Defects Detected in Food Products

Karma’s intelligent, real-time image integration and processing software instantly identifies sub-surface foreign bodies and structural issues:

• Non-Ferrous Contaminants: Glass shards (from jars or light fixtures), stones/pebbles from the field, and calcified animal bones.
• Metallic Contaminants: Minute fragments of stainless steel, iron, or non-magnetic metals from processing blades, sieves, and machinery wear.
• High-Density Plastics & Rubber: Broken conveyor belt fragments, gaskets, or packaging seals embedded in the food matrix.
• Mass & Void Estimation: Checking for missing components inside a sealed package or detecting under-filled or hollow sections in bulk items.

Food Products Inspected Under This System

Karma’s conveyorized, automatic PLC-controlled systems are highly customizable and easily integrate directly into raw processing or final packaging lines:

1. Packaged Foods & Ready-to-Eat (RTE) Meals

• Pouches and Foil Packets: Scanning sealed ready-to-eat curries, instant noodles, and snack packs for contaminants—even through metallized foil packaging that blinds traditional metal detectors.
• Packed Rava, Flour, & Spices: Inspecting dense, finely milled powders for clumps, foreign particles, or machinery debris before final sealing.

2. Grains, Pulses, & Bulk Agriculture

• Rice and Pulses Sorting: High-throughput scanning of bulk grains on fast-moving conveyor belts to eliminate tiny stones, glass bits, and dense field mud clumps.
• Seeds and Nuts: Detecting internal voids, insect infestations, or structural damage inside bulk-packed nuts and seeds.

3. Bakery & Confectionery

• Chocolates and Candies: Verifying the presence of fillings, identifying missing pieces in a tray, and detecting foreign particles in bulk chocolate molds.
• Biscuits and Bread Packs: Real-time screening for broken machinery pieces or baking debris inside large-volume baked goods lines.

Key Components of the Food X-Ray System

To maintain seamless operation inside a fast-moving food factory, Karma's systems rely on a strictly integrated set of industrial components:

• Food-Grade Automated Conveyor: Built entirely from easy-to-sanitize, food-safe materials complying with strict hygiene standards.
• High-Stability X-Ray Source & Sensor Array: Tailored low-energy radiation generators paired with ultra-sensitive digital detectors that yield high-contrast images without affecting the food’s taste, shelf life, or nutrition.
