The METAL SHARK® COMBI TU is a multi-segment sensor typically used over fabric, non-woven or paper webs as well as plates of different materials. It detects particles as small as 0.6 mm and localizes their position in defined segments of the product.
The METAL SHARK® COMBI TU is suitable for widths up to 5 m/16.6 ft. Customizable widths are available.
The COMBI TU can be operated in humid environments with ambient temperatures from -10˚C to +40˚C and product temperatures up to 65°C.
