Metal Detection

Walk through metal detectors are based on pulse induction (PI) technology. PI systems use a coil of wire on one side of the arch as the transmitter and receiver. This technology sends powerful, short bursts (pulses) of current through the coil of wire. Each pulse generates a brief magnetic field.

Rapiscan® Systems' Metor metal detectors draw on nearly forty years of design and production experience in people screening. Our Metor brand sets the standard with security metal detectors through continual R&D and innovative product development.

We have consistently maintained our position as one of the world's leading manufacturers of quality walk-through metal detectors. Metor metal detectors are currently in daily use in a diverse range of applications. Some have been in operation for more than two decades.
