Detection offer makes UK debut
Heuft will be exhibiting
a completely new
device category at the
NEC-based exhibition.
Heuft One is the name of the
compact, easy to integrate and
reliable to operate standalone
range of devices. In operation,
they combine special
detection technologies with
customised hardware and
software and proven company
procedures for exact product
tracking, inspection and
fault rejection. “They set new
standards in a confined space
in terms of detection accuracy,

“Even special ambient
conditions such as a ‘metal
free zone’ are not necessary
for the reliable operation of
the compact standalone
device,” says Cooper.
The slim, entry-level
machine is ideal for all those
who only wish to find objects
made of iron, steel, aluminium
or stainless steel. Meanwhile,
the new Heuft One for coder
verification, text and logo
inspection works with
in-house developed colour
sensor camera technology and
real-time image evaluation.
Equipment exhibited for
those who wish to find more
than just metal during a
foreign object inspection is
the latest generation Heuft
eXaminer II XB top-down
inspector with its pulsed x-ray
and flat panel full field image
capture technology which,
says the company, offers
the highest performance for
foreign body detection in food
products.
