Textiles / Apparel

Metal detection is now an integral part of the textile and apparel production process, and is an essential quality assurance requirement for manufacturers supplying leading brand names across the world.

At the production stage, metal detection provides a product safety solution which minimises risk of legal action, bad publicity and financial losses, all of which would result if a customer was injured by a broken needle tip or piece of stray metal left in a finished product.

Lock's leading edge technology and purpose designed range of metal detectors guarantees the very highest standards of inspection and delivers key benefits at every stage of production.

Garment Detection

This unit can detect metallic contamination from broken needle tips or pieces of stray metal during garment production, which can compromise product safety. The Garmentchek is an all-metal detector detecting all types of metal, including Brass, Copper, Aluminium and Tin for finished product inspection in the textile/apparel industries, where the product DOES NOT contain metallic accessories (ie. zips, studs, rivetsetc).

Needle Detection

With metallic accessories increasingly being used in garment production, the challenge is to identify needle contamination in the presence of legitimate metallic components.

Lock's Needlechek detector will detect needle fragments in products containing approved non-ferrous trims

Needlechek detectors are designed to work in close proximity to industrial sewing machines the Needlechek offers product inspection at every stage of production.

NEEDLECHEK

Textile Detection

The quality of finished products can only be guaranteed if incoming materials are effectively screened to remove unwanted metallic particles.

Our Textile range of metal detectors provides customised solutions for the inspection of a wide variety of textile materials to individually specified dimensions. The Textilechek is ideally suited to cater for the inspection of bulkier products either prior to or after manufacture.

Early detection of contamination affords significant cost savings since lower value ingredients rather than finished products are rejected. Product wastage is then minimised and valuable machinery protected.
