Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Fish Bone Detection Sensor Module

Definition
This sensor module integrates X-ray detection technology specifically optimized for identifying residual bones in fish fillets during industrial processing. It serves as a critical quality control component within automated fish processing lines, ensuring food safety compliance and reducing manual inspection labor. The module interfaces with processing machinery control systems to trigger rejection mechanisms when bone fragments are detected. Industrial manufacturers integrate this component into filleting and portioning equipment to meet international food safety standards.
Working Principle
Utilizes low-energy X-ray transmission through fish tissue, with specialized detectors measuring differential absorption between soft tissue and bone calcium, triggering signals when bone density thresholds are exceeded.

Reliability & Engineering Risk Analysis

Failure Mode & Root Cause
Optical sensor fouling
Cause: Accumulation of fish scales, biofilms, or debris on sensor lenses, reducing detection accuracy due to marine environment exposure.
Corrosion-induced electrical failure
Cause: Saltwater ingress into housing or connectors leading to short circuits or signal degradation, often from compromised seals or material fatigue.
Maintenance Indicators
  • Inconsistent or erratic detection readings despite stable fish presence
  • Visible corrosion, moisture, or algae growth on sensor housing or mounting points
Engineering Tips
  • Implement regular cleaning schedules with non-abrasive, marine-safe solutions to prevent biofilm buildup without damaging optical components
  • Use corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., titanium, marine-grade stainless steel) for housings and ensure periodic seal integrity checks to prevent water ingress
