Delivering high detection sensitivity and stability can be a challenging task for operators of food and beverage production lines, but not with the enhanced performance of the Anritsu M6 metal detector. Detection sensitivity often varies depending on the product and environmental conditions (humidity and temperature). However, the M6 systems were designed to deliver unparalleled levels of detection sensitivity on food and beverage production lines. Consequently, excellent detection levels are achievable with the M6 series’ auto-learn process.
Key Features of the M6 Metal Detector
The M6 simultaneous multi-frequency metal detector offers several features that make it easy to integrate with food and beverage production lines such as:
- Advanced digital signal processing – with its built-in digital signal processing, the M6 isolates the product effect and minimizes the detection impact.
- Dual-frequency technology provides high sensitivity detection for ferrous and non-ferrous metals – Anritsu has optimized dual-frequency technology to detect ferrous and non-ferrous metals simultaneously. Additionally, the auto-learn process enables the M6 to analyze over 10,000 combinations of algorithms as well as frequencies to provide the best possible detection.
- Electrical noise and vibration resistance – when products pass through the detector head, the M6 looks for fluctuations within its magnetic fields. Because magnetic fields are often adversely affected by external factors such as electrical noise and vibration, the M6 was designed to handle such challenges. As a result, Anritsu designed the detection heads to provide the highest sensitivity despite these two challenges.
- Minimizes false rejects – with its built-in troubleshooting screen, the M6 can show the probable cause of false rejects while providing suggestions on-screen for improved performance.
- Reliable, repeatable performance with improved auto-learn – with 50+ years of industry experience, Anritsu improved detection and performance in-house. The process optimizes the best detection, frequency, and phase algorithms.
Benefits of the M6
Metal detectors are considered an essential component of food and beverage lines. The M6 Smart Guide directs operation checks in a format that anyone can understand. It can be programmed to halt operation if the testing fails to ensure compliance. This helps to minimize operator training as well. It helps to enhance productivity and ensure better workplace safety. Other benefits include:
- daily inspection reports
- design verification compliant with global standards
- password protection for changing product settings (includes changes in sensitivity)
- reject confirmation ensures that bad products are removed from production lines
