Zircon Corporation, the company that invented the stud finder category and remains an industry leader, continues to lead the path to innovation with the release of Wood Stud SuperScan® with Target Control® Technology + FILTERz™.
The advanced technology behind this new product promises to redefine, and even reset, the standards for stud finder performance and accuracy.
This next-generation “intelligent” model incorporates multiple sensors and sophisticated signal processing technology to find wood studs and filter out “false positives” such as plumbing, conduit, plastic pipe, PEX tubing, and wiring behind the walls.
By analyzing the complex data streams from multiple sensors and controlling the result using sophisticated intelligence, the stud finder finds wood studs and filters out metallic objects, such as plumbing, conduit, straps, brackets, screws, protector plates, or ductwork in the wall. Additionally, the technology alerts the user to the presence of low signal-strength, non-metallic objects like plastic pipe, PEX tubing, and wiring.
To simplify the delivery of this seemingly complex information to users, Zircon invested extensive time and research to understand the user experience. The new and improved user interface provides an intuitive “go/no go” indication in response to what is being sensed. With a new haptic vibration and a patented SpotLite® Pointer that shines an arrow-shaped beam on the wall, users can clearly understand the target’s location and areas to avoid.
For professionals and DIYers, this innovative technology will provide a more accurate representation of what is behind the wall and significantly improve confidence that what is detected is truly a wood stud. The benefits are significant: minimized rework, less damage created, and increased safety.
