Microwaves are unaffected by dense vapor, dust and high temperatures. Insensitive to harsh environments and unaffected by product temperature variation, the MWS-ST/SR-2WG Micro-Gunn is the ultimate in slab, strip & coil tracking in hot or cold rolling mills.

The sensor consists of a pair of transmitting and receiving antennas, connected to separate controllers by circular waveguide tubing. Any combination of straight and bent waveguides may be used to remove the sensitive electronics from the high temperature areas.

The antennas, which are unaffected by heat, are installed in the high temperature zone (up to 600°C or 1,100°F), while the controllers are located in normal room temperature areas (up to 55°C or 130°F).

The detection signal outputs when the product to be detected (slab, billet, bloom, strip, coil etc) interrupts the microwave beam between the two antennas.

Features

1. UNAFFECTED BY ADVERSE CONDITIONS
o Microwaves are unaffected by temperature, flames, heavy vapor/smoke, airborne particles or dirt buildup on the antenna head.
o Designed for industrial use.

2. INSENSITIVE TO PRODUCT TEMPERATURE
o Unlike infrared scanning Hot Metal Detectors, microwaves are insensitive to product temperature variation.

3. NO COOLING REQUIRED
o The antennas can be installed in the high temperature area without the need for water/air cooling as they contain no sensitive electronics.
o The controllers are protected from high temperatures by installing them some distance from the antennas in a room temperature area.

4. HIGH ADAPTABILITY
o Waveguides are customized to suit on-site conditions.

5. SIMPLE TO INSTALL & OPERATE
