Coil Manufacture
Due to the wide variation in size, shape, frequency and conguration, each of the eight
X-TERRA coils have slightly dierent manufacturing requirements.
Below is a summary of the overall processes to manufacture a coil:
• Windingcoiltospecication
• Assemblingcoilhousingandencasingcoilwindings
• Solderingcoilcabletocoilcircuitboard
• Tuningcoilwindingsandxingtohousing
• Testingcoilassemblyforfunctionaldefects
• Pouringepoxyresinovercoilwindingstoholdinplace

Overall, the Minelab philosophy of:

is why Minelab coils are so consistent and reliable.
