Scepter Scientific manufactures capacitance-based sensors to read and verify the metallic content of security threads embedded within currency or similar substrates.
Scepter Scientific offers 6 off-the-shelf sensor configurations to match specific system requirements. The higher performance sensors provide near-contact lateral and longitudinal conductivity measurements with ceramic high wear surfaces for extended life. The smaller lower cost sensors are designed for low speed bill-acceptor applications.
