General Description

The MSE-LP600 Digital Optical Position Loop Scanner operates via internal microprocessor and a multiplexed scanned InGaAs Photodiode arrays. It provides both analog output and displays the products hot edge position via bar display.

While normal Optical Position Loop Scanners purely detect the product above a pre-set threshold as th MSE-LP600 operates via a programmable control margin it ensures precise and repetitive positioned output regardless of the product's size or temperature. Hence, it is not adversely affected by lens contamination, hot scale, metalwork or steam in the field of view. As a consequence it provides very stable performance in difficult and variable environments such as found in Mill Stands that can defeat other Scanners. Being a digital device, the MSE-LP600 response time may be precisely set to accommodate black spots, etc. without detriment to its accuracy. Furthermore, the MSE-LP600 detects the product edge precisely and repeatability regardless of the product size and changes in temperature. Various analog outputs are available according to requirement.

The MSE-LP600 operates via internal InGaAs Photodiode arrays segmented into 40 segments and scanned in 2 ms for an exceptionally fast output . The IR signal input is transmitted via an internal optic block that ensures precise scanning is maintained without loss of signal yet blocking out the unwanted radiating heat from the device. This unique use of fiber optic technology facilitates compact construction with high performance.

The MSE-LP600 Loop Scanner is a direct replacement for the MCSL Model DTF6015 Trailfinder Optical Position Loop  Scanner. Please contact us for additional information.

Rear LED Bar Display

The red LED's display the location of hot product in the vertical scan field of view while in operating mode & displays the program settings while in program mode.

The green LED indicates power on & fault condition while in operating mode.

The top yellow LED indicates the delay time level, the middle yellow LED indicates the control margin level and the lower yellow LED indicates the control high/low gain setting while in program mode.
