What is calibration in metal detector?
Product Inspection Calibration Calibration of your metal detection systems to ensure that the equipment is working and operating within the manufacturers parameters and working to its full capability.
How do you calibrate a walk through metal detector?
How to calibrate walk through metal detector?
- Select working frequency. Before starting the calibration, you must select the appropriate operating frequency to start the calibration according to the manual.
- Set the speed response.
- Select the test item.
- Set the detection sensitivity.
- Perform the test.
How do I increase the sensitivity of my metal detector?
To maximize sensitivity the smallest possible aperture size should be used. Optimum aperture size will be dependent upon the products being inspected, and in the case of conveyorized inspection, the dimensions and orientation of the product on the belt.
Can metal detectors be calibrated?
Metal Detector Calibration Services. Metal detectors are required equipment in many industries, including food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and tobacco to ensure product safety and regulatory compliance. American Scale is pleased to offer metal detection verification & calibration services.
How Often Should metal detectors be calibrated?
Conclusion: All metal detectors need calibrating. Each manufacturer will tell you that at least one annual visit is necessary to keep the detector operating at its best.
How do you use a metal detector?
To use a metal detector, stand in a comfortable position and extend or retract the stem so that the coils will hover just above the ground when you hold the unit. Walk slowly as you swipe the machine from swipe from side to side.
What does ground mean on a metal detector?
A ground balance setting on your detector will help minimize the loss of depth and the false signals. Ground balance is a variable setting that increases your machine’s detection depth in mineralized soil. The soil may contain fine iron particles in areas with red earth or salts found in beach sand.
Why does meat go through a metal detector?
A package of meat can be highly conductive due to its moisture content. If salt is present – which is common in ready-to-eat or processed meat products — conductivity is even higher. When this product passes through a metal detector the excitation signal can create a strong product effect that requires compensation.
