Currency Detection and Counterfeit Recognition
The AL931 utilizes 2CIS (Contact Image Sensor) technology along with multiple detection methods for bank-level anti-counterfeiting:
- UV (Ultraviolet) Detection: Checks for UV features on banknotes.
- MG (Magnetic) Detection: Verifies magnetic ink patterns.
- IR (Infrared) Detection: Scans for infrared security features.
- NT (Note Thickness) Detection: Measures banknote thickness.
- SN (Serial Number) Recognition: Records serial numbers for tracking.
- Fluorescence Analysis: Detects fluorescent properties.
- Color Changing Ink Verification: Checks for color-shifting ink.
- Dimensional Validation: Verifies banknote dimensions.
- Paper Quality Verification: Assesses the quality of the banknote paper.
When a suspicious note is detected, the machine will stop counting and alert the user. Remove the suspect note and resume counting.
