    Metal Detecting Sensor

    Metal detectors consist of an oscillator coil that produces an alternating magnetic field. If metal is near the coil, eddy currents are induced in the metal, creating a secondary magnetic field. A second coil detects changes in the magnetic field to sense the presence of metal. Metal detectors are useful for finding buried metal or metal hidden inside objects. They can be handheld or stationary for security screening to detect concealed weapons. Some metal detectors pose risks to pacemakers and can false alarm due to jewelry or other metal items, causing potential embarrassment or panic.

    METAL DETECTING

    SENSOR
    Ametal detectoris anelectronic instrument which
    detects the presence of metal nearby
    Working Principle: The simplest form of a metal detector consists of
    anoscillatorproducing an alternating current that passes
    through a coil producing an alternating magnetic field.
    If a piece of electrically conductive metal is close to the
    coil,eddy currents will be induced in the metal, and this
    produces a magnetic field of its own.
    If another coil is used to measure the magnetic field
    (acting as amagnetometer), the change in the magnetic
    field due to the metallic object can be detected

    Metal detectors are useful for finding metal


    inclusions hidden within objects, or metal
    objects buried underground.
    They often consist of a handheld unit with a
    sensor probe which can be swept over the
    ground or other objects.

    Another common type are stationary metal


    detectors used forsecurity screening at access
    points in prisons, courthouses, and airports to
    detect concealed metal weapons on a person's
    body.

    Disadvantages
    Some metal detectors can harm pacemakers
    because they have a very strong
    electromagnetic field such detectors can be
    fatal for those people
    In many situations, metal detectors can give a
    false alarm if people are wearing some kind of
    jewelry, watch, phone, loose change or similar.
    This can make some people feel embarrassed
    and can cause panic for no reason
