By Mark Rowan & William Lahr

Metal detectors are fascination machines. Many of the people who use them are just as enthusiastic about extolling the virtues of their favorite metal detector as they are about setting off in search of buried treasure. Those of us who design and build these instruments for a living listen carefully when one of our customers talks about his or her experience in the field, because this is the primary means by which we determine how well we are doing our jobs, and what sort of things we need to do better.

Airport Metal Detectors

Airport metal detectors scan people before entering the boarding area and into the aircraft. Baggage is also screened to prevent any security threats. Almost all these equipments work on the principle of pulse induction. Metal detector checks the time of the reflected pulse from the screened material. If the reflected pulse takes more time than normal then the possibility of a metal object is identified. An alarm signal is produced by the equipment if it recognizes a conductive metal or material. Some models of metal detectors even spot areas where the undesirable objects are hidden. Airport metal detectors are also capable of identifying explosive materials, drugs, and illegal imports….
