Abstract
Provided is an apparatus for x-ray examination of moving products, including a conveyor device with a conveying means on which a product to be irradiated rests in a movement plane. The product is transported in at least one of the following manners: along a predetermined movement trajectory at a predetermined speed; in accordance with a predetermined time-dependent course of speed or position; is rotated about a rotary axis that is substantially perpendicular to the movement plane, or any combination thereof. A radiation generating device, configured to generate an x-ray beam, is positioned on one side of the conveying means, and has a detector device, positioned on the opposite side of the conveying means. The radiation generating device is configured to generate an x-ray beam widening in fanlike fashion beginning at an x-radiation source of the radiation generating device.
