Key Products/TechnologiesKeyProducts/Technologies
**Metal Detectors**: Conveyor-type metal detectors (NMD530, NMD580, NMD500) for detecting metallic foreign objects in packaged or bulk products during conveyance. The NMD580 model features multi-frequency operation with seven channels, auto-setting capabilities, real-time monitoring via LAN connection, and an enhanced waterproof display. The NMD500 model offers three detection modes (low, medium, high frequency), history management, automatic setting, and USB storage for practical use. Aluminum detectors (NAD4000-A, NAD4000) enable high-sensitivity detection of metallic foreign objects in aluminum-packaged products, which is challenging for conventional high-frequency methods, unaffected by product properties like moisture or temperature. These detectors utilize two channels, a large screen, adjustable product passage height (50mm~150mm), and two sensors for enhanced detection of minute metals. The product line also includes specialized metal detectors such as pipeline type (STEAMER), fall type (QUICKER), pharmaceutical type (MEDIC), and needle detectors (NAD4000D, NAD4000A) optimized for specific environments.**MetalDetectors**:Conveyor-typemetaldetectors(NMD530,NMD580,NMD500)fordetectingmetallicforeignobjectsinpackagedorbulkproductsduringconveyance.TheNMD580modelfeaturesmulti-frequencyoperationwithsevenchannels,auto-settingcapabilities,real-timemonitoringviaLANconnection,andanenhancedwaterproofdisplay.TheNMD500modeloffersthreedetectionmodes(low,medium,highfrequency),historymanagement,automaticsetting,andUSBstorageforpracticaluse.Aluminumdetectors(NAD4000-A,NAD4000)enablehigh-sensitivitydetectionofmetallicforeignobjectsinaluminum-packagedproducts,whichischallengingforconventionalhigh-frequencymethods,unaffectedbyproductpropertieslikemoistureortemperature.Thesedetectorsutilizetwochannels,alargescreen,adjustableproductpassageheight(50mm~150mm),andtwosensorsforenhanceddetectionofminutemetals.Theproductlinealsoincludesspecializedmetaldetectorssuchaspipelinetype(STEAMER),falltype(QUICKER),pharmaceuticaltype(MEDIC),andneedledetectors(NAD4000D,NAD4000A)optimizedforspecificenvironments.
**Checkweighers**: General and high-weight checkweighers (NWC3000, NWC490) with automatic speed variation based on production quantity input, automatic product length measurement, and automatic control of sorter operation time according to speed changes. They offer arbitrary setting of measurement ranges using absolute and deviation weighing methods, along with data backup in case of power failure, supporting efficient production management. The NWC3000 model features a 10-inch large display, touch-based product registration and setup, registration of up to 1,000 products, anti-impact entry function, and constant speed maintenance for user convenience. Combined metal detector and checkweigher (Combi type, NCB-3000 Series) products provide space efficiency and integrated inspection solutions.**Checkweighers**:Generalandhigh-weightcheckweighers(NWC3000,NWC490)withautomaticspeedvariationbasedonproductionquantityinput,automaticproductlengthmeasurement,andautomaticcontrolofsorteroperationtimeaccordingtospeedchanges.Theyofferarbitrarysettingofmeasurementrangesusingabsoluteanddeviationweighingmethods,alongwithdatabackupincaseofpowerfailure,supportingefficientproductionmanagement.TheNWC3000modelfeaturesa10-inchlargedisplay,touch-basedproductregistrationandsetup,registrationofupto1,000products,anti-impactentryfunction,andconstantspeedmaintenanceforuserconvenience.Combinedmetaldetectorandcheckweigher(Combitype,NCB-3000Series)productsprovidespaceefficiencyandintegratedinspectionsolutions.
