Smart Features That Boost Detection Accuracy

The Sentinel 1000 metal detector is equipped with a range of practical features that directly support reliable performance. One of its key strengths is its advanced signal processing, which helps reduce false rejections while catching actual threats.

Its multi-coil technology improves the range and depth of detection. You get a clear advantage in spotting both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel contaminants, which are often harder to detect.

APEX 100

Built to Withstand Real-World Manufacturing Environments

The production floor is rarely a calm or controlled place, heat, moisture, vibration, and high-speed operations are all part of the process. That’s why the Sentinel 1000 is made to operate under tough conditions without compromising detection accuracy. With an IP69K rating, the Thermo Scientific Sentinel 1000 can handle aggressive washdowns, making it ideal for facilities with strict hygiene protocols.

In addition, the electronics are built right into the system, so there’s no need for complicated control panels or multiple components. This compact design makes it easier to install in limited space, whether you’re working on a conveyor system, a pipeline setup, or a gravity-fed process.

This durable and compact design helps businesses maintain uptime, reduce repair needs, and meet safety expectations with confidence.

Supporting Your Workflow with Easy Integration and Control

The Thermo Scientific Sentinel 1000 isn’t just a powerful detector, it’s also designed to work well with your existing systems. It offers connectivity options like Modbus serial and Ethernet, allowing it to share data with central control systems for better tracking and reporting. You can monitor performance, receive fault alerts, and conduct performance checks without manual interruptions.

The Sentinel 1000 metal detector also works smoothly alongside other Thermo Scientific equipment, such as the Thermo Scientific APEX 300 Metal Detector and Versa checkweigher systems. If you’re already using the Thermo Scientific APEX 300 Metal Detector, upgrading or expanding your line with the Sentinel 1000 can offer enhanced sensitivity and broader product coverage.

Altogether, the integration-friendly features of the Sentinel 1000 make it a practical tool for quality control teams focused on efficiency and precision.
