The MDX is a process control system that performs real-time data measurements on just-formed, unfired slabs and tiles. It lets manufacturers obtain the correct slab/tile density quickly at the start of a batch. As production continues it executes real-time monitoring of thickness and density at various points on the slab/tile, allowing fast detection of any deviations. It does so by continuously measuring (without stopping production or damaging the slab) compacted slab density and thickness with a low-power X-ray system. MDX offers excellent reading accuracy and reading repeatability and has very low X-ray emissions.
