Rapiscan Systems Metor Metal Detectors developed the first industrial metal detectors in the 1960's which were used extensively for mining and other industrial applications. The series of aircraft hijackings led us to develop a passenger security screening detector by converting our successful industrial technology to personnel screening. During the 1980's we conducted extensive R&D on coil geometry and signal processing. Because of the patented crossed magnetic fields and integrated electronic design, the Metor 118 and 120 received immediate international recognition. In 1995 the Metor 200 was introduced using the first true Multi-Zone technology, which started a new era in metal detection. Today, our Metor 300 is the new generation walk-through metal detector providing safety and security to airports, government agencies and private industry worldwide.

The Rapiscan Secure 1000 was identified as the most suitable equipment for people screening, since it detects a wide range of threats (metal, explosive, plastic or ceramic), allows anomalies or alarms to be resolved using high quality images and is practical to operate indoors in relatively confined spaces due to its compact size with no need for external illumination sources or large, noisy support equipment. ...Read more

The Rapiscan WaveScan 200 uses passive millimeter wave technology to provide additional levels of flexibility and capability to address challenging personnel screening and object detection requirements. Designed for high throughput inspection, military, Homeland Security and commercial applications, the WaveScan 200 can be used as a stand-off solution or combined with Rapiscan Systems’ other screening and detection products to provide a fully integrated checkpoint system. ...Read more
