TWA5000-X Transverse

The TWA5000-X Transverse Series Metal Detectors, with MP-4 Digital Technology, can be built to scan boards up to 24-feet in length. These systems are easily integrated into most transverse fed tables, processing materials of great width with the accuracy and dependability needed for consistent equipment protection and guaranteed product purity.

MDI’s premier TWA5000-X Series Metal Detector Systems will save your company costly production down time, preventing lost opportunity and increasing production profits. The new technology in our TWA5000-X Metal Detector Systems gives our coils more consistent targeting of contaminants and better environmental interference rejections which increases overall system stability and performance.

Experienced sales staff and engineers are ready to design the perfect system for your application.

 

Features


Virtually Eliminates Environmental Interference

In today’s mills, environmental interference, such as variable frequency drives, radio interference, and AC noise creates a big problem for many metal detecting systems. This may result in false tripping which will force you to lower your sensitivity and drastically reduce your metal detector performance. Our systems are designed to help filter out these effects.

 

Best Metal Free Zone

A metal free zone is the area in which a metal detector can operate efficiently without any interference. Some metal detector manufacturers will sacrifice sensitivity in order to operate in shorter metal free zones. MDI will quote the shortest metal free zone possible and still achieve the sensitivity your application requires.

 

Greatly Reduces Product Effect for Peak Performance

Any product, such as logs, that may have high levels of minerals or moisture with conductive properties will generate a response when passing through the metal detector. Our system extracts specific information from this response and applies sophisticated algorithms to classify it. Therefore, we can selectively reduce product effect and amplify desirable responses, giving you the best sensitivity for your metal detector with less or no false tripping.

Customizable MP-4 Microcontroller

The MP-4 Microcontroller offers optional settings that allow you to customize your metal detector for various applications. With digital technology you have the processing power to achieve higher performance with greater stability and better sensitivity. 

 

Digital Technology

Digital technology easily outperforms analog technology. In today’s world, digital technology plays a major part in modern electronics, such as computers, cell phones, and HI-Definition TVs. The processing power of a digital system greatly enhances performance and achieves powerful results. Software engineering has maximized the abilities of our digital technology to specifically accommodate the requirements of your application.

view-link module

The View-Link allows MDI to remotely connect to your metal detector in order to monitor, diagnose, and custom program your system in order to optimize performance. When properly connected, MDI's Service Department can directly access and adjust the metal detector to aid in identifying unwanted metal targets, environmental interference, and improve or customize your sensitivity levels. If the technician cannot resolve a problem through the programming in the software, the View-Link will allow for the Metal Detector to be monitored remotely, potentially providing crucial information that could lead to resolution of the interference.
