EVK ABAS ThinLine

EVK ABAS ThinLine (TL) is an inductive metal scanner for the use in sensor-based sorting machines for detection of metals. The sensor can be mounted under a conveyor belt and delivers spatially resolved information of conductive material in the material flow. The metal scanner produces binary information that drives a corresponding I/O module and subsequently ejection units. In combination with the EVK proprietary I/O system, EVK ABAS TL offers a complete solution to machine builders for detection and sorting of metal particles.

Smart
Metal Sensor

The EVK ABAS TL inductive metal sensor provides spatially resolved information about ferrous and non-ferrous metal particles in a bulk material stream. The metal scanner is mounted under a conveyor belt and operates in real time, fully automated and was developed specifically for industrial applications. Especially in areas of sensor-based sorting and inspection, the sensor is thus used to visualize and detect the electrical conductivity properties of materials and transmit precise sorting commands.

Value Statements

Spatially Resolved Information

The intelligent line scanner provides spatially resolved information about the position of the object in the line and passes on precise information to the ejection unit.

Rugged, Lightweight Design

A special feature of the EVK ABAS TL is its lightweight, handy design. It was specially developed for use in harsh environments. Low maintenance is required for the sensor, as it has no moving parts.

Diverse Working Dimensions

The metal sensor supports commonly used working dimensions and is available for working widths from 600 mm to 3000 mm.

Easy Integration

The inductive sensor supports the standard GigE Vision and GenICam interfaces for fast integration into existing systems and is mounted directly under a conveyor belt.

Real-Time Actuation of Ejection Units

The EVK proprietary I/O module can be used to directly control ejector units. The metal sensor can thus be easily and quickly integrated into sorting applications.

Sensitivity Characterization

The sensitivity of a metal scanner defines the required size of a metal particle to generate an output signal. Note that the distance between the metal object and the sensor influences the sensitivity of the sensors.

Use Cases

The inductive metal sensor EVK ABAS TL is used for the recovery of metal in automotive scrap, in the removal and recovery of metals in polymer, or glass sorting, as well as in the recycling of construction and demolition waste. Metallic foreign bodies can also be detected for example in wood.

Typical combinations
of our applications

EVK combines data from different sensors e.g. metal sensors with hyperspectral or color cameras. The key data extracted from the results serve as a basis for further process-relevant decisions. Materials can be classified based on their color, shape, size, chemical composition, and conductivity, and, if desired, sorted or ejected in real-time.
