Microwave Barrier Type HMD for Hot or Cold Steel Detection

Microwave Barrier Type HMD for Hot or Cold Steel Detection

General

MWS-ST/SR-2WG Micro-Gunn is the next generation in Hot Metal Detectors: developed as a replacement for infrared hot metal detectors (HMD), laser/optical barriers and gamma ray sensors for product tracking in steel mills.

MWS-STSR-2WG

Installation Examples

Face-to-Face - Angled Installation

The sensors are mounted on an angle in order to maximize beam blockage. This type of installation is preferable for detection of thin product such as plate. Mounting on an angle also allows the antennas to be installed at a greater distance from the product to be detected.
A 45º angle with the beam axis crossing the center of the strip provides maximum beam blockage.

Face to Face - Horizontal Installation

This type of installation is only suitable for the detection 'thick' product such as slab and coil. The antennas should be mounted as close to the product as possible to maximize beam blockage.

45º Reflector Installation

This type installation is suitable for applications where both the transmitter and receiver must be located on the same side of the roll table.

Heavy Duty guide pipe installation

This type of installation is suitable for detecting slab in the sizing mill where heavy vapor and vibration shock is present. The heavy duty guide pipe provides mechanical protection for vibration and shock.
