High-Sensitivity Multi-Segment Textile & Non-Woven Sensor
The MPI COMBI Metal Detector is a high-sensitivity, multi-segment inspection system purpose-built for wide, continuous materials such as textiles, nonwovens, paper, rubber sheets, foam panels, and transformer boards. Designed to provide full-width coverage, the COMBI utilizes zone-specific sensor technology to precisely detect and locate ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless-steel contaminants in real time, minimizing waste and maximizing production efficiency.
Engineered for demanding industrial environments, the system’s rugged construction and advanced signal processing ensure stable performance at high line speeds and in challenging conditions. The COMBI’s modular, zone-based sensor array clearly identifies contaminant locations, allowing targeted rejection, marking, or trimming. User-friendly controls, configurable widths, and compatibility with MPI’s SharkNet® software make the COMBI a versatile and intelligent choice for web-based material inspection.
Benefits of the COMBI Metal Detector From Magnetic Products, Inc
-
Full-Width, Multi-Zone Detection
Divides the inspection area into multiple independently monitored segments, allowing precise detection and positional identification across wide materials.
-
Optimized for Web-Based Products
It is ideal for applications involving sheeted goods or continuous materials such as textile rolls, paper webs, or rubber mats.
-
Reliable Detection of All Metal Types
Advanced inductive coil technology detects ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless-steel contaminants—even in conductive or multi-layered materials.
-
High-Speed Compatible
It maintains high sensitivity and positional accuracy at line speeds up to 300 m/min, with a fast response time for rapid quality interventions.
-
Reduces Waste through Targeted Removal
Localizes contamination to specific zones, so only the affected portion is removed, saving product and reducing cost.
-
Industrial-Grade Build
Durable stainless or powder-coated steel housing resists dust, vibration, and environmental wear—engineered for round-the-clock reliability.
-
User-Friendly Interface
Touchscreen controller offers intuitive operation, auto-learn setup, and access to real-time signal visualization, logs, and product profiles.
-
Smart System Connectivity
Compatible with MPI’s SharkNet® software for centralized QA monitoring, data logging, performance analysis, and audit trail documentation.
COMBI Metal Detector Product Details
The metal detector is a multi-segment sensor. The total detection zone of the detector is thus divided into several single segments, each of them being about 365 mm wide. This makes it possible to assign detected metal particles to a definite segment of the textile width and thus it is possible to minimize product loss if metal is detected. Due to extremely high sensitivities of the single segments, minute particles of metal are detected over the whole width.
