Typical Applications

• Detection of Hot Steel, Hot Metal, or Hot Product in a Continuous Caster, Hot Rod Mill, Hot Bar Mall, Hot Rolling Mill, Hot Plate Mill, Hot Roughing Mill, Hot Reversing Mill, Hot Hot Strip Mill or other Steel Hot Mill, Forging Plant, Foundry or Industrial Applications requiring detection of hot metal or hot product.

Description

The MSE-FMD95 fully digital "All-in-One" Remote Fiber Hot Metal Detector incorporates a bar display showing the IR input signal relative to the pre-set trip level as well as selected programmable thresholds and response times via simple external programming switch action. Operates via highly sensitive and stable InGaAs Photodiode, detection is assured via the heaviest water and steam.

The MSE-FMD95 utilizes a modular Signal Processor Controller in protective mounting Cradle, flexible armored optic leads and interchangeable Remote Lenses. As the controller can be used in conjunction with any lens option one standard controller can be used throughout the mill. Now there is no need to stock a detector for each requirement. Costly multiple inventory can be replaced with one detector.

A wide variety of remote lenses impervious to water & steam are built to withstand the harshest environments are available. Used in conjunction with flexible armored optic leads, these lenses provide a high level of optical accuracy by allowing the selection of the ideal lens arrangement for the installation. Robust lenses with temperature ratings of 150°C, 600°C and 1000°C can be mounted close to the hot product. Various robust lens mounts are available including air purged, air purged with air cooling and air purged with water cooling.

The remote lenses incorporate filters to minimize sensitivity to extraneous light. For general tracking, spot lenses are commonly used. Where high accuracy is required or the product deviates about the center line (i.e. Rod Mill) a 0.5° x 25° precision slit rectangular lens should be utilized. This lens is also highly suited to Strip Mills. Also available is the 1000°C Shrouded Quartz Rod Lens, specifically engineered for mounting in the harsh and high ambient environment below the line or inside the mill stand.

The MSE-FMD95 is a direct replacement for the MCSL Model MD9100 and Model MD95100 Remote Hot Metal Detectors. Please contact us for additional information.
