Performance Specifications




   Sensitivity
 
     Sensitivity is defined by a device's ability to detect metals down to a certain size or diameter.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Sensing  Width / Diameter
 
     Sensing width is the width of the belt on which the product is conveyed, or the width of the opening for a walk-through metal detector. For pipeline metal detectors, sensing diameter refers to the pipe's inside diameter (ID).
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Throughput / Mass Flow
 
     Throughput or mass flow refers to the mass of material that can pass through a detector over a given period of time. This measurement is specific to in-line metal detectors used for free-flowing or gravity-fed applications.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Speed / Velocity
 
     This is the speed at which media travels through the metal detector, or the speed at which the detector can be transported.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Digital Interface       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Serial / Digital
 
     Devices can provide signal outputs in serial, parallel, Ethernet or other digital formats.
 
   Network / Fieldbus
 
     Devices output signals that are formatted according to an industrial fieldbus protocol such as CANbus, PROFIBUS®, or SERCOS; a networking protocol such as Ethernet; or another industrial automation protocol. PROFIBUS is a registered trademark of PROFIBUS International.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary digital interfaces.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Applications
