A：A colored metal identification sensor is a type of sensor that utilizes the principle of eddy currents for detection. Its working principle involves generating an alternating magnetic field through an induction coil, which induces eddy currents in the object being detected, thereby changing the electrical parameters of the coil. This allows for the determination of the properties and characteristics of the detected object. The specific process is as follows: 1. Generate a magnetic field: The coil in the sensor generates a high-frequency alternating magnetic field by carrying current. 2. Induce eddy currents: When a metal object approaches, the magnetic field induces the generation of eddy currents, which affect the electrical parameters of the sensor. 3. Detection: By detecting and analyzing the changes in the electrical parameters, the type and characteristics of the detected object can be determined. Colored metal identification sensors are primarily used in industries that require the detection of colored metals (such as copper, aluminum, etc.) in metal materials, such as scrap recycling, waste sorting, and metal processing.
