Housing Technical Information

The following is specifications and dimensional information on the housing for the Moduloc MSE-LD20HR Laser Distance Measurement Sensor.

The MSE-LD20HR Laser Distance Measurement Sensor's electronic circuitry is packaged in a robust cast aluminum housing. The housing includes a large cooling chamber which is separated from the electronic circuitry compartment.

As standard the MSE-LD20HR is supplied with water cooling and separate air purging. In this arrangement, a sealed water coolant radiator is provided. The copper water coolant radiator is mounted internal to the air cooled chamber. Coolant inlet and outlet fittings are provided in the rear of the cast aluminum housing. An air purge inlet is fitted in the front nozzle of the housing and air is vented out the front of the nozzle in front of the lens providing positive pressure too help keep the lens clean.

An an option the housing can be supplied with an integral air cooling and air purging arrangement.  In this arrangement, an air purge inlet is located in the rear of the cast aluminum housing. Pressurized air passes though the cooling chamber, cooling the cast aluminum housing thus cooling the electronic circuitry. The air vents in the front of the housing via a slot in front of the lens providing air purging.

Further cooling of the air can be accomplished with the use of an optional vortex tube in-line air cooler in place of water cooling. An optional Modular Air Combination Unit is available that includes a pressure relief valve, an air filter with 5 μm filtration, a coalescing filter with 0.01 μm filtration and an adjustable pressure regulator. 

The heat reflective protective cover is custom fabricated and is made with Eko-Therm™ aluminized Kevlar with high temperature construction and high temperature Velcro® closures. The cover provides a unique combination of thermal insulation and heat reflective qualities. It helps maintain cooling process line temperatures in high ambient conditions or alongside external radiating heat sources. The cover is constructed in 3 layers to provide maximum insulation properties to meet or exceed maximum temperature requirements

The standard the MSE-LD20-HR is supplied with a cable assembly which includes a mating M23, IP66 rated 12-pin female plug and a 12 conductor color coded cable with flying leads. The standard cable length is 2 meters. The cable assembly is also available in optional lengths of 3, 4, 5, 10 and 15 meters.

The MSE-LD20HR Laser Distance Measurement Sensor operates up to a 20m ((65.6 ft) range off static or passing hot steel seamless rolled ring in difficult areas and in harsh hazardous environments. The MSE-LD20HR measures distances off of hot natural surfaces that are as hot as 1200°C (2192°F).
