The Pathfinder Scanner utilizes the latesr microprocessor technology to ensure precise reliable detection.
Whereas old style HMD's purely detect the hot product above pre-set threshold, the PATHFINDER Scanner operates by microprocessor comparison of the background and hot product singal. Neither static hot scale or steam in the field of the viewcauses false triggering. Furthermore, lens contamination will not raise its trip level.
While static abalog HMD's utilize single diode detection and Rotary Scanners incorporate rotating mirrors, the Pathfinder Scanner utilizes a digitally scanned Germanium Diode Array. This new technologgy removes the maintence associated with Rotary Scanners yet provides the high reliability ans accuracy associated with Scanners.
Microprocessor technology provides expecptionally fast and accurate detection of Rod or Strip leading/trailing edge where wide variations of IR signal are present. Response times are diditally adjusted by locking timers. To assist in alignment, product path is duplicated by an LED Bar Dispaly. Which is also used to indicate adjustments to precise values.
The MSE-HMD100 is a fully digital "All-in- One"Hot Metal Detector uniquely incorporating a bar disply shwing the %IR input signal relative to the pre-set threshold as well as programmable thresholds and reponse times via simple programming awitch action. It provides the user an universal detector that can be used throughout the mill. The MSE-HMD100 is the economical choice. Now there is no need to stock various Detectors for each location. Costly mulitiple inventory be replaced by one Detector. The MSE-HMD100 Hot Metal Detector is a robust sensor activated by the infra-red rediating from the product. Impervious to water or steam it is built to withstand the harshest of enviroments. The product is detected via a highly stable InGaAs Photodiode to ensure detection regardless of heavy water and steam and incorporates filtering that removes the visiblespectrum to minimize sensitivity to extraneous light. The precise 1degree * 12 degree lens ensures accurate detection of strip and acco...
