MWS-ST/SR-2WG-R Micro-Reflex consists of a pair of transmitting and receiving antennas, connected to separate controllers by circular waveguide tubing.
The antennas, which are unaffected by heat, are installed in the high temperature zone, while the controllers are located in normal room temperature areas. The detection signal outputs when the microwave beam is reflected by the slab/strip into the receiving antenna.
This maintenance free model operates perfectly in high vapor areas where optical and infrared based sensors will not. With a high degree of precision (repeatability), Micro-Reflex provides an economical, reliable and hazard free solution for Product Tracking in Continuous Casting and Rolling Mills.
• Increased operating range
The operating distance is three times that of the conventional model, thus allowing for use of longer waveguide extensions.
• Unaffected by adverse environments
This sensor is unaffected by heat, flames, airborne particles dense vapor or product temperature variation.
• Simple installation
The antennas and controllers come pre-mounted, on separate stands, further simplifying installation.
• Selectable detection mode
Either unreflected beam (UNREFLECTED) or reflected beam (REFLECTED) detection method may be selected.
• No set-to-set interference
Four channels are available, selectable by rotary switch. This permits the use of multiple units in close proximity to each other.
