Automatic Testing System

Our revolutionary patent pending Halo system is an SUITABLE FOR: THE HALO CONCEPT
automatic metal detector testing device. It is designed to The system was developed by Fortress Technology as
automatically test ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel an extension to its metal detector test programs by
samples on Fortress metal detectors. Automatic testing enabling companies to decrease the frequency of
removes the risk of human error and work place injury at manual testing dramatically. The theory of Halo is to
critical control points on a manufacturing line while Stealth Gravity harness the signal generated by a conductive loop
complying with industry standards. The Halo is especially outside of the detector. At the press of a button, a
useful in applications where the testing of a metal change in the signal flowing through the loop causes
detector is made difficult due to access, position, access a disturbance on the detector’s receiving coil. This is
to the product flow, environmental conditions, etc. the same process that happens when metal passes
through the detector’s aperture.
KEY FEATURES: CALIBRATION
Stealth Pipeline
• Automatic, Accurate and Consistent Testing It is further possible to calibrate Halo in order to
produce an interference signal identical to that of
• Detailed Data Collection
specific metal spheres and specific metal types. It
• Externally Operated System can also produce multiple level signals that can, for
• Multiple Custom Test Levels Stealth Vertex example, replicate a 1.5mm sphere of ferrous metal
• Eliminates Work Place Safety Risks (passing through the center of the detector aperture)
when initiated and then with a different prompt, it
• Reduces Machine Downtime / Testing Time can produce a signal identical to 2 mm stainless
• QA Auditor Approved Compatible with all steel.
• Negates Human Error Fortress Metal Detectors
EXTERNALLY OPERATED SYSTEM
• System Set-Up in Minutes
• Tamper Proof AVAILABLE OPTIONS: The Halo system is entirely external to the working of
the detector and as such, the test results are not
• Contact Reporter Software Compatible controlled by the detector. Therefore, it is a complete
test of the detector’s performance and is more
repeatable that a manual test where the position of
Contact Communication the test piece within the aperture is difficult to control.
Software The system can be added to existing Fortress metal
detectors or can be included at the time of
manufacture.
