Advanced detection ofmetalcontamination in package and processapplications

The Thermo Scientific APEX 500 high-performance metal detector once again raises the industry standard for performance, stability and reliability. It incorporates a unique (patent pending) multi-coil design to make magnetic flux more consistent in the aperture, improving signal levels resulting in thehighest level of detection capability. Thisinnovation is combined with new shielding techniques to reduce product effect and costly waste caused by false rejects. APEX 500’sunrivaled performance is dueto state-of-the-art electronics and advanced digital signal processing (DSP) technology first introduced by Thermo Fisher Scientific over 20 years ago. New detection algorithmsare employedas well as improved noise-reductionfilters, product phase-trackingtechniques and balance/recovery schemes.
