Inductive Metal Detection Sensors for Industrial Inspection and Recovery
Act on metallics—inline.
Missed contaminants threaten purity. False rejects cut yield. Every unplanned stop costs production time. Inductive metal detection systems from Headwall identify and separate ferrous and non-ferrous metals in real time—delivering precise, position-accurate signals that enable cleaner output, higher recovery, and reliable uptime across connected inspection and process-control systems.
SEE HOW IT WORKS FOR YOU
Inductive Metal Detection for Sorting, Recovery, and Quality
Accurate, real-time detection
Identifies and locates ferrous and non-ferrous metals across the full belt width—delivering location-precise ejection signals and measurable process control.
Integration without compromise
Compact under-belt sensors connect directly to industrial control systems or complement optical and hyperspectral inspection for end-to-end visibility.
Proven industrial durability
Solid-state construction resists vibration, dust, and heat for long-term stability in demanding production environments.
Engineered for uptime
With no moving parts or external calibration hardware, Headwall sensors minimize maintenance and keep inspection lines running efficiently.
Configurations that match your inspection needs.
Available in multiple belt widths (600–3000 mm) and inductive detection sensitivity ranges to support diverse conveyor and throughput demands. Each sensor is factory-calibrated and pre-aligned for consistent, repeatable detection across connected inspection systems.

What Hyperspectral Imaging Reveals
Headwall sensing technologies capture how surfaces reflect, absorb, and interact with light—revealing both outward patterns and internal composition. By capturing multiple spectral ranges in perfect sync, hyperspectral imaging cameras and sensors connect what's happening on the surface to what's happening within—delivering the full picture in a single pass.
