The Latest Metal Detection Innovations

The M50 R-Series metal detectors introduce a range of new innovations developed to increase detection sensitivity and deliver safer products for different applications. Technologies such as eDrive PLUS, when combined with 900 kHz Ultra-High Tuned Frequency, improve the field strength. This provides the highest sensitivity for detecting the smallest wire and non-spherical metal contaminants in dry and bulk products. Multi-Simultaneous Frequency (MSF) with an advanced 3S PLUS algorithm reduces product effect, minimizes false rejects and increases detection sensitivity in wet and challenging products.

In a market where every metal contaminant detected counts, it could be the smartest investment you make.

A System for Every Need

Production Operator

“I need a metal detector that is easy for me to set up and use.”

Our automatic product setup enables faster operation while local language customization enhances user efficiency and reduces errors. Our 10.1-inch touchscreen is responsive when wearing gloves and in wet conditions; it’s just like using your smartphone.

Production Manager

“I need to reduce false rejects and maximize uptime.”

Our AI-based machine learning supports your requirements for higher sensitivity and to virtually eliminate false rejects. You can save operator time and money thanks to the INFINITY - Electronic Test System. When you need 24/7 support, the integrated service QR code simplifies maintenance to reduce downtime.

Quality Manager

“I need to comply with retailer requirements and GFSI-recognized standards.”

INFINITY, our auto test system, verifies your metal detector is working to specification and enhances your compliance confidence. Documentation is easily retrieved via ProdX™ software and OPC UA / EtherNet/IP for real-time automated reporting and data collection. M50 R-Series makes it easier to comply with global food safety standards such as BRCGS and IFS.

Engineering Manager

“I need secure, uninterrupted operation to keep production running smoothly.”

Our secure RFID access control provides individual contactless user access. Condition Monitoring alerts you to potential issues before they occur, and the integrated service QR code offers 24/7 remote support to reduce downtime and speed up issue resolution.

IT Manager

“I need to manage my on-site networks and ensure secure data transfer.”

Our next generation platform leverages operating systems with the latest security packages. With the M50 R-Series you get focused user and permissions management for enhanced security. High speed ethernet connection supports OPC UA and EtherNet/IP protocols.

Buyer

“I need a solution with a low total cost of ownership.”

With our robust, upgradable platform you can enhance the longevity of your metal detector for a greater return on investment. Advanced detection technology reduces false reject rates and minimizes product waste and product recall risks. Flexible ServiceCare contracts help manage your costs effectively.
