Zircon Reinvents Stud Finder, Sets New Standard for Popular Tool Category

Zircon Corporation, inventor of the stud finder category, introduced the Wood Stud SuperScan advanced stud finder with Target Control Technology and + FILTERz cancellation. This next-generation model incorporates multiple sensors and sophisticated signal-processing technology to find wood studs and filter out “false positives” — objects inaccurately identified as studs — behind the walls.

By analyzing the complex data streams and controlling the result, the stud finder cancels metallic objects, such as plumbing, conduit, straps, brackets, screws, protector plates and ductwork in the wall. The technology also alerts to the presence of other non-metallic, low-density objects like plastic pipe, PEX tubing and wiring. To simplify the delivery of this information to users, Zircon designed an intuitive “go/no go” interface, with a haptic vibration and SpotLite Pointer, to better indicate the target’s location and areas to avoid, providing a more accurate representation of what is behind the wall and improving confidence that what is detected is truly a wood stud. The benefits include minimized rework, less damage created and increased safety.
