What is foreign object detection?
Foreign object detection is the process of identifying unwanted materials in a product or material flow. It is used to support quality assurance, product safety and machine protection.
Is metal detection enough?
Metal detection is often suitable when the main risk is metallic contamination. If the application includes non-metallic risks, X-ray inspection may be worth evaluating.
Where should the system be placed?
Placement depends on the goal. For machine protection, detection may happen early in the process. For final quality assurance, inspection is often placed closer to the packed or finished product stage.
What information is needed for a quote?
Useful information includes product type, material flow, contamination risk, throughput, line layout, available space and any hygiene or certification requirements.
