OKM FUTURE I-160 (2001-2017)

 

Future I-160 is a metal detector that allows to detect different ground structures and natural features of the ground. It is a professional metal detecting instrument with a unique multi-sensor antenna with 16 sensors.

 

 

Future I-160 is a high-resolution metal detector and ground scanner that provides a detailed analysis of the measured results in 3D. It conteins 16 elliptical area multipoint sensors (EAMS) with a resolution of 0,015 uT and a sampling rate of 50 Hz. This very unique multi-sensor array is able to reflect scanned ground data in a graphical representation within the Visualizer 3D software. Thus, the device is able to detect different structures and natural features of the ground:

 

 

Categorization within product range

The Future I-160 metal detector is a professional measuring instrument with a very high resolution antenna of 50 cm width. Compared to the Future 2005 with its 100 cm antenna, the Future I-160 has a four-times higher density of measured data. Compared to the Earth Imagers with 16-times lower resolution, the device is most suitable for the professional archeological and industrial use. This fact is reflected also in the graphical representation generated by the software Visualizer 3D.

 

Determination of the size and depth of objects

Detailed graphics are the basis for an exact determination of the size and depth of objects. Because of the compact form of the antenna the device is not only usable for the measurement in even ground conditions. Besides the usual graphical representation, the device provides two more particularities. On the one hand it makes buried object immediately visible with the horizontal live picture, on the other hand a typified ultrasound scan can be created with the vertical antenna.

 

 

Functionalities of the Future I-160

• magnetometer with acoustic feedback
• high resolution ground scans in 3D
• live picture with horizontal ground scan antenna
• live picture with vertical pin pointing antenna
• graphical analysis on a computer

Thanks to the integrated microprocessor technology, ground balance, depth measurement and data storage is performed automatically by the Future I-160 metal detector. The measured data can be analyzed on the computer screen via three-dimensional images that are generated by the included Visualizer 3D software.

 

The Future I-160 metal detector is designed to detect sub-surface buried objects. It is a professional measuring instrument with a multi-sensor antenna array containing 16 Elliptical Area Multipoint Sensors (EAMS) with a resolution of 0,015 uT and a sampling rate of 50 Hz. This very unique multi-sensor array is able to reflect scanned ground data in a graphical three-dimensional representation within the professional Visualizer 3D software.

 

This makes the Future I-160 metal detector able to detect various sub-surface structures and hidden items like:

• Electrical Conduits
• Water Pipes
• Storm Drains
• Gas Pipes
• Buried objects like Canisters, Tanks and Boxes
• Structural objects like Foundations and Cellars
• Voids, Graves, Backfilled Areas, Caves and Tunnels

 

The Future I-160 is a professional geophysical detector equipped with a very high resolution antenna. The metal detector can store a measurement within its internal memory or transmit data in Real-Time to a laptop PC. The unit also has a Live-Scan feature allowing the operator to see buried objects as they pass over them.

 

The simple to operate Visualizer 3D software enables the operator to quickly identify sub-surface objects and other anomalies. Detailed graphics are the basis for identifying the objects as well as being able to estimate the exact size and depth. With its compact antenna design, the device is not only usable for conducting scans in even ground conditions but also where the terrain is not even.

 

 

The Future I-160 metal detector includes the following functionality:

• Acoustical magnetometer
• High resolution ground scans in 3D
• Live picture with horizontal ground scan antenna
• Live picture with vertical pin pointing antenna
• Graphical analysis on a computer
• Estimation of exact size and depth

 

With the advancements in micro-processing technologies, OKM has been able to configure the ground balance mode directly within the metal detector unit. Calibrating the Future I-160 is also not necessary, this function is also performed prior to every scan or measurement made. Not having to ground balancing or calibrate the detector gives the operator less to worry about and more time to complete the work necessary.

The Visualizer 3D software completes all of the computations and displays the results instantly, either from a saved scan or in Real-Time using the Live-Scan mode of the Future I-160 metal detector.
