MLX 10
Letter-bomb Detector

The letter-bomb detector MLX 10 was designed for checking suspicious
mail like letters and small parcels.
The MLX 10 is designed as a chute and a built-in electronics which
is very easy to operate. Mail slips down the chute and can be separated
as suspicious or unsuspicious, according to the alarms.
The device detects all kind of metal and alloys, and even very small
components of improvised bombs or incendary devices. Alarm is given as
audio and optic alarm. The audio alarm can be switched off. The device
can operate in two modes: static or dynamic. In mode "static", the alarm
depends of an adjustable trigger threshold and has to be reset by hand.
In mode "dynamic", the alarm signal depends completely on the targets characteristics.
This allows the cross-checking and determination of the targets size and
position, when a letter was separated due to an alarm.
The sensitivity of MLX 10 is very high. It can be adjusted according
to the required value and it is possible to suppress the indication of
staples, clips or unwanted metal objects. MLX 10 can handle a very large
number of letters or small parcels in short time. Letters and parcels which
have to be checked by X-ray equipment will be reduced to a small number.
MLX 10 is cost cutting, as X-ray checks on most letters and parcels become
redundant.
