Description
Some operations don’t count cash at the end of the day. They count cash all day. The Newton-3-F is built for exactly these environments — specified for 24/7/365 continuous operation, running at 1,500 notes per minute in piece-count mode and 1,200 notes per minute in full value, authentication, fitness sorting, and serial number verification modes simultaneously.
The six-sensor detection array — ultraviolet, two-sided infrared, magnetic, dual-sided colour image scanning, dimension check, and ultrasonic — represents the most comprehensive detection specification in the Cashcom range. Each note is scanned from both sides in full colour and authenticated against a genuine note database in real time, while the ultrasonic sensor confirms physical integrity. This is the machine for operations where no acceptable level of detection failure exists.
Who Is the Newton-3-F For?
- Bank cash centres and back offices: Continuous daily note processing where 24/7 operation capability and maximum detection depth are standard requirements
- Cash-in-transit (CIT) operations: Client cash processing across multiple shifts with full spectrum authentication and real-time serial number capture
- Central cash processing facilities: Organisations consolidating cash from multiple retail or institutional sources requiring all-day high-speed processing
- Casinos and high-security gaming: Round-the-clock note processing with the deepest available detection specification
- Operations requiring image display of scanned notes: The Newton-3-F displays scanned note images directly on its 4.3-inch colour touch screen — a unique feature for verification workflows
Key Features Explained
Six-Sensor Full-Spectrum Detection
The Newton-3-F’s sensor array combines six detection methods: UV (ultraviolet), two-sided IR (infrared from both faces simultaneously), magnetic, dual-sided CIS (colour image scanning of both faces), dimension check, and ultrasonic. Each method targets different security features — together they provide the most complete authentication picture available in a commercial note counter.
The two-sided infrared and dual-sided colour image scanning are particularly significant. Most machines scan one face of each note for colour image comparison. The Newton-3-F scans both faces simultaneously, doubling the reference data available for each authentication decision. Counterfeits that pass a single-sided scan may still show anomalies on the reverse — the Newton-3-F catches these.
Image Display on Screen
As each note is authenticated, the Newton-3-F displays the scanned colour image of the note directly on its 4.3-inch colour touch screen. This is a unique feature in the Cashcom range — it allows the operator to visually verify the scanned image of any note that generates a detection query, without removing the note from the machine’s flow. For institutions where authentication transparency is important, this feature provides a direct visual record of each note’s processed image.
Built for 24/7/365 Continuous Operation
The Newton-3-F is specified for uninterrupted continuous operation — not just extended business hours, but genuine round-the-clock deployment. The internal components, feeding mechanism, and thermal management are engineered to sustain rated speeds without performance degradation over extended running periods. For cash processing centres that operate across shifts without shutting the machine down, this specification is not a marketing claim but a genuine engineering standard.
Fitness Sorting at 1,200 Notes Per Minute
Fitness sorting — separating notes by condition into fit and unfit categories — runs at 1,200 notes per minute on the Newton-3-F. At this speed, fitness sorting is not a bottleneck in high-volume processing: a 1,000-note batch is assessed, sorted, and complete in under a minute. Unfit notes are separated automatically for destruction or separate handling without interrupting the processing flow.

Frequently Asked Questions
| What makes the Newton-3-F different from the LS-300?
Both are high-specification professional machines. The Newton-3-F’s key differentiators are: dual-sided IR scanning (both faces scanned simultaneously, not just one), in-screen image display of scanned notes for visual verification, and an explicit 24/7/365 continuous operation specification. The LS-300’s key differentiators are: remote currency database upgrade via LAN, stacker side LED displays, and a larger physical stacking capacity. For cash centres and institutions requiring dual-sided IR and in-screen image display, the Newton-3-F is the appropriate choice. |
| What does ‘dual-sided colour image scanning’ mean in practice?
Standard CIS detection scans one face of each note — the front or the back, depending on machine configuration. Dual-sided CIS scanning captures full-colour images of both the front and back of every note simultaneously. The machine compares both images against genuine note references. A counterfeit that passes front-face scanning but has anomalies on the reverse is caught — something single-sided scanning cannot detect. |
| Is the Newton-3-F suitable for Australian banknotes?
Yes. The Newton-3-F is configured for AUD polymer notes as part of its multi-currency support. All detection parameters are calibrated for Australian denominations. Contact Cashcom on 0451 353 676 to confirm AUD configuration and available currency database specifications for your specific deployment. |
| Does the Newton-3-F require specialist installation?
No specialist installation is required. The Newton-3-F connects via standard power supply (universal 100–260V), USB, and LAN. Network configuration follows standard IT procedures for LAN-connected devices. Cashcom provides setup guidance with every machine and is available for technical support Monday to Friday, 9am–6pm. |
