Page 9: Features ·····························
The machine is designed to make a highly accurate metal detection by the adoption of Dielectric Loss Isolated High Frequency Oscillation method sensor, which was developed by SAIKA. If a metal piece approaches the magnetic field A generated by the sensor, an eddy current runs on the metal surface and the magnetic field B will be generated to cancel the magnetic field A.
