VMS-4 Tunnel Metal Detector Search Head
The VMS-4 is a detector head rather than a complete machine, so it can be attached to an existing conveyor instead of replacing it. It runs variable-frequency detection from 31 to 882 kHz, carries a 7-inch touchscreen with 33% more space than the previous generation, and its Auto-Learn gives working sensitivity out of the box. The sealing arrangement is rated beyond IP69K.

Use guide
- Confirm the aperture suits your product before ordering
- Mount on the existing conveyor at the inspection point
- Run Auto-Learn once per product for working sensitivity
- Fit the barcode scanner option if the line changes product frequently
- Wash down as normal, the sealing arrangement is rated beyond IP69K
