About Metal Detectors
Metal detectors simply are security systems which responsible for scanning and find the different kinds of metals and these security systems are designed and manufactured by electromagnetic fields. There are different types of metal detectors like handheld metal detectors, mobile metal detectors, or standing installed metal detectors (walking through metal detectors) that can scan and find the hidden items and components that may threaten the people’s security.
Walking through metal detectors an be found in sensitive places that need to be protected and secured like airports, public schools, courts, etc, and they should located in the entrance of the facility to guarantee avoiding any kind of suspicious and harmful items to be passed or crossed inside the facility which cause any kind of danger to the innocent people.
