The latest APEX 500 metal detector once again raises the industry standard for performance, stability and reliability.
It incorporates a unique multi-coil design to make magnetic flux more consistent in the aperture, improving signal levels, resulting in the highest level of detection capability.
This innovation is combined with new shielding techniques to reduce product effect and costly waste caused by false rejects.
State of the art electronics and software further enhance the search head capability by advancing the developments in digital signal processing (DSP) technology, first introduced by Thermo over 20 years ago.
New detection algorithms are employed as well as improved noise-reduction filters, product phase tracking approaches and balance/recovery schemes.
