I Have a Question on Metal Detection

The answers to many questions are often specific to the particular manufacturing environment and the particular product. The following questions will be answered when you invite us to become familiar with your circumstances.

When all the variables are known, there are no expensive surprises in the end.

If we can't answer your question today, we offer a timely response after appropriate research.

• Can I mount a metal detector on my conveyor? What are the concerns?
• What type of conveyor belt should I use?
• Is static electricity an issue here? How do I overcome a static problem?
• What is the metal free zone? Is it really metal free?
• Does my metal detector suffer from electrical interference?
• What does an intermittent conductive loop do to my metal detector? Where do these occur?
• What is the best product compensation?
• Can I compensate for vibration?
• What is the best operating frequency for my product?
• What are the orientation effects of non-spherical contaminants?
• Do my test pieces tell the whole story? What can I really detect?
• Do I need a metal detector with "bells and whistles" or just a basic unit that I can set and forget?
