Metal Detector
 Anritsu Dual Wave Metal Detection
Systems deliver superior detection on
YOUR challenging production lines.
With over a century of innovation as an electronics
manufacturer, Anritsu released its first metal detector in 1981.
Since then we have provided over 50,000 units to protect our
customers and the products they produce.
We strive to continuously improve and work closely with our
customers to exceed their needs and expectations. Our latest
metal detection systems have been designed to provide years
of trouble-free service.

Enhanced Performance –
M6-h delivers high detection
sensitivity and stability on your
production line.

Delivering the same detection levels as described in catalogs is

a big challenge for metal detection systems when performing the
inspection on actual production lines. As detection sensitivity can
vary depending on product and environment conditions including
temperature and humidity, it can be challenging to provide
consistent detection.
Anritsu's M6-h series metal detector is designed to deliver
unrivaled levels of detection sensitivity on your production
lines. The auto-learn process makes excellent detection quickly
achievable.

 Vibration and electrical noise
resistant
Metal detectors look for fluctuations within magnetic
fields when the product passes through the detector
head. Since the magnetic fields are affected by external
sources such as floor vibration and inverters from nearby
machines, a metal detector must be designed to handle
these challenges. With this in mind, Anritsu's detection
heads are designed to provide high sensitivity without
sacrificing repeatability and reliability.

Variable belt speed, 5 to 90 m/min, is built in and stored
in the product settings. Each product can run at its
unique speed and the speed can also be adjusted as
needed.

Smart Guide - perfect for HACCP

Metal detectors are considered a critical control point (CCP) in HACCP programs and require detection checks to
make sure they are meeting your standards. Smart Guide directs detection and operation checks in an easy-to-
understand format. It can be set to stop operation if the testing fails ensuring compliance. Operator training is also
minimized.

Reject confirmation Daily inspection report

Contaminated products should not only be detected Simplified data and log management allows quick
