Lock Inspection Systems introduced its new Insight Metal Detector at the October Poultry show. The Insight delivers sensitivities to all metals along with plug and play comms and report options. An advanced comms architecture features an array of new options—USB, SCADA, wireless and standard ethernet—designed to meet the requirements of both systems integrator and manufacturer to an equal degree. Performance-enhancing benefits are the result of an Integrated Digital Head and advanced OPTIX detector management software. They include higher sensitivity to all metal types along with improved stability to vibration and complex product signals. Insight is delivered with an all-new user-friendly HMI incorporating Direct Digital Signal viewer.

Thermo Fisher Scientific

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. is integrating a new signal processing technology, Intellitrack XR (IXR), into its line of Thermo Scientific APEX metal detectors. The software is designed to detect metal in discrete wet products that change over time, including cheese, bread and water bottles. The IXR technology learns and cancels the X (reactive) and R (resistive) product signals, leaving only the metal contaminant to be detected. To assure high-performance over time, the intelligent IXR tracks these product signals by adjusting product cancellation on the fly. This dual channel (X and R) cancellation approach eliminates the risk of phasing out a foreign metal object and leaving it undetected. Thermo Fisher has applied for a patent on the software being incorporated as a standard feature on all Thermo Scientific APEX metal detectors including the APEX 500, 300 and 100.
