It is in Toulouse famous for its center of excellence in electronics and advanced technologies (space, aeronautics, telecommunications), that XP metal detectors are entirely designed, developed and manufactured. 
Our detectors, result from a superb combination of various technologies such as electromagnetism, analogical / digital electronics, techniques in plastic injection moulding, profiting from a sound knowledge in each one of these fields.
Our manufacturing quality is guaranteed by total control of each stage of manufacturing and by particular attention paid at all levels of the manufacturing process by our team.
In order to be more familiar with our detectors, we propose a guided tour of some stages of manufacturing.

	One of our technicians, David is seen drawing plastic parts of the detectors, he will then design the moulds and machine them using powerfull softwares : Solidwork (Dassault Industrie) for the 3D conception and Top Cam (Missler) for driving the CNC machines.
Since its creation, XP strives to continuously improve its manufacturing process. One of our forces is to now design and manufacture all parts for our detectors in a second factory near Toulouse. We carry out in-house design and manufacture of parts using our many hi-tech industrial machines. As many detector manufacturers continue to use more and more foreign sub-contractors for the sourcing whole or parts of their products, XP manufactures most of its parts in France ! Moulds and injection moulding Here we see a prototype mould for an XP searchcoil. After testing, this mould is replaced by a steel mould for mass injection of plastic parts. Many plastic parts (arm rest, searchcoil, coil cover, black nylon nut and bolt, plastic end, twist lock, coil connector strain relief) were specially designed and produced in-house by XP.                                    Moulding the XP ABS boxes. The boxes are moulded and withdrawn from the mould automatically, without human intervention. This steel mould is very complex and weights in at 190 kg. This mould is installed on our largest plastic injection press (5 tons). The press can withstand a pressure of 175 tons.
