Hot Metal Inspection Sensor for Cropping Control

Hot Metal Inspection Sensor for Cropping Control

General Description

The MSE-HMD85 Hot Metal Detector is a robust sensor activated by the infra-red radiating from the hot product. Impervious to water or steam it is built to withstand the harshest of environments. The product is detected via a highly stable InGaAs Photodiode to ensure detection regardless of heavy water and steam and incorporates filtering that removes the visible spectrum to minimize sensitivity to extraneous light. The precise 0.5° x 25° lens ensures accurate detection of strip and accommodates bar bounce.

This MSE-HMD85 Hot Metal Detector is especially suitable where ambient temperatures are subject to large changes. In standard format, a large air cooled chamber vents via deflector in front of the lens to allow the use of non-instrument air and provides air purging. Alternatively, an optional sealed loop water coolant radiator accommodates tap pressure and a separate air purge inlet may be provided.

Additional Information

To accommodate variation in bar temperature and background IR, various precise threshold are programmable via covered switches from 270°C to ensure reliable switching with reference to both the displayed background and product IR signal.

Furthermore, response time is programmable from 1 ms to 250ms to accommodate black spots on the hot material.

The MSE-HMD85 Hot Metal Detector incorporates a remote self-check facility remotely energized by closed contacts that lights up an internal IR LED to switch the Detector and verify its’ outputs operate correctly.

The MSE-HMD85 Hot Metal Detector will operate with 80-240 VAC/50-60Hz or 24 VDC power input. Standard outputs include a cradle relay, a fast reed relay and both NPN/PNP transistor outputs.
