Key facts
The R&S®IMAGER ensures consistent quality and process reliability. It integrates seamlessly into existing workflows and uses safe, non-ionizing millimeter waves (mmW) for subsurface imaging. This enables not only the ability to track content (digital twin), but also the identification of hidden defects, content discrepancies and even signs of tampering – all without opening the packaging. Designed for high-speed inline inspection, the real-time measurement capability of the R&S®IMAGER eliminates motion blur and enables high-resolution scans of up to 450x450x320 mm in a single pass.
Non-destructive inspection
The R&S®IMAGER offers single-shot scanning and creates a detailed image within a 450x450x320 mm volume. Using safe millimeter wave (mmW) technology, it enables non-destructive inspection across industries: pharmaceutical, food, logistics and more. The subsurface imaging technology of the R&S®IMAGER identifies concealed items, verifies fill levels, detects tampering and ensures product integrity without damaging or opening the packaging.
With R&S®IMAGER, the condition of Schrödinger's cat in a box need not be a mystery.
High-quality images in a single scan
The R&S®IMAGER delivers high-resolution images to provide the detail necessary for critical inspections. It goes beyond visual representation, using both magnitude and phase information to analyze materials and identify objects with greater accuracy. This powerful combination allows large volumes of material – 450x450x320 mm – to be inspected in a single scan. From foreign object detection to fill level inconsistencies, the R&S®IMAGER covers a broad range of inspection needs.

Efficient inspection without the risks and regulations of ionizing radiation
The R&S®IMAGER prioritizes safety with its use of non-ionizing millimeter wave (mmW) technology, eliminating the risks associated with X-ray. Operation is straightforward, requiring no specialized expertise or ongoing training. Unlike systems that use ionizing radiation, the R&S®IMAGER requires no dedicated radiation shielding or complex safety protocols. It offers peace of mind with low maintenance requirements, reduced operational costs and minimal regulatory burden.
