Introducing the PATHFINDER Scanner.

Utilises the latest microprocessor technology
to ensure precise reliable detection.
Whilst static analogue HMDs utilise single

diode detection and Rotary Scanners
incorporate a motor, the PATHFINDER
Scanner utilises a Germanium Diode Array.
This new technology removes the maintenance associated with Rotary Scanners yet
provides the high reliability and accuracy
associated with Scanners.

Whereas normal HMDs purely detect hot

product above pre set thresholds, the
PATHFINDER Scanner responds only to hot
product passing at high velocity. As this
scanner operates by microprocessor
comparison of the background and hot
product signal, neither static hot scale or
steam in the field of view causes false
triggering. Furthermore, lens contamination
will not raise its trip level.
Hot product is detected by reference to an appropriate site adjusted control margin (stored in
Non-Volatile memory) that ensures sufficient gap
between background IR signal and the IR radiating
from the product

Excellent steam penetration
Modular Lens Options
Robust sensor activated by the infra-red
radiating from hot product. Impervious to water
or steam and built to withstand the harshest
vibrations.
To accommodate variation in product
temperature and background radiation, six
specific I.R. thresholds are selectable by
internal DIP switch. All the end user has to
select prior to installation is the appropriate
lens from those provided.
Especially suitable where ambient
temperatures subject to wide deviations. In
standard format, a large air cooled chamber
vents via a slot in front of the lens providing
combined air purged facility. Alternatively, a
sealed water coolant radiator & separate air
purge facility may be provided.
All lenses incorporate filters to minimise
sensitivity to extraneous light. For general
tracking, spot lenses are commonly used.
Where high accuracy is required or the product
deviates about the centre line (i.e. Rod Mill) a
1 x 25 lens should be utilised. This lens is
also highly suited to Strip Mills.

This sensor provides two types of output. In
addition to the normal latched output indicating

pulse output to extenuate the leading edge signal

MD 8207A WELD HOLE DETECTOR (Background Suppressed)
Robust sensor for detection of weld holes in
passing high velocity metal strip.
This detector only responds to a passing
illuminated hole and not to static
b a c k g round o r reflected light energ y
s o u rce. This is achieved by utilisation of a
filter circuit that solely responds to a passing
illumination source.
As the passing weld hole provides a pulsed
output, an adjustable latching timer
extenuates output. Additional LEDs and
outputs facilitate straigh tforw a rd
alignment.
Weld Hole Detector
Three outputs are provided. Namely, PNP &

NPN N/Open transistor outputs as well as a
reed relay output. Available for connection
to 24 VDC or 110 VAC.
Adjustable on site to provide 5 to 25 FOV
to accomodate various strip widths. Detects
weld holes of 10mm or greater size passing
at velocities of up to 300 mtrs. per min.
Faster velocities can be accommodated
a c c o rding to hole size and light sourc e
utilised.
Lamp Unit with Lamp Failure Relay
As this Detector incorporates a unique air

c o o l a n t / p u rge facility, with an additional
heat shield it can be used where strip
temperatures are above ambient. For high
ambients a water coolant chamber is
available.

LOW COST - YET HIGHLY SENSITIVE
DIRECTLY MOUNTS ONTO EXISTING METALWORK
The Series 300 Metal Detectors operate on
the principal of generating a pulsed flux and
monitoring its rate of collapse which will vary
according to quantity of metal present.
This method of detection provides a highly
sensitive technique of detecting small metal
product or metal contaminate at low cost.
In addition, the search coils may be mounted
close to surrounding metalwork and rollers.
Coils are provided in flat-pack polyethylene
or profile glass fibre construction. For areas
where high ambience are expected, PTFE

DETECTOR COIL CONFIGURATIONS

There are several detector coil configurations available which in turn are manufactured in various
sizes to accommodate clients specific requirements.
Most coils may be mounted into the conveyor metal framework or directly onto metal floor pan with
the coil face adjacent and relatively close to surrounding metalwork or rollers.
For those areas where high ambients are expected (furnace entry tables) both PTFE search coils
or all metal stainless loops are available. Both of these may be used with or without cooling.

LD - 6001
Laser Length & Width Gauge
This System utilises Digital Laser Distance Meters operating on timed pulsed signal return
principal in conjunction with a powerful CPU engineered to provide convenient operation &
communication between the LDMs and the Mill PC.
Utilising compact line of sight LDMs that operate off both cold or hot product, even inside the
furnace, this Gauge is well suited for determining the size and position of steel product such as
slabs, blooms or billet in the furnace area & other difficult areas in the Rolling Mill.
The CPU automatically energises the LDMs, interrogates their functional state, then displays the
individual measured distances from each LDM and calculates the widths, lengths or centerline
deviations. These values are then combined into a single data string for direct connection to a
Mill PC via RS232C serial port or alternatively, according to model, via an integrated ALSPA PLC
for downloading on to FIB network.
Communication & adjustment of the LDM functions is via straightforward ACSII commands. The
detachable LDM keyboards, the Mill PC or the integrated Modem provide 3 alternate means of
calibration & fault finding on or off site. Calibration is straightforward and achieved by positioning
an established measured source in the area of measurement and configuring the system via the
Mill PC or Modem.

off the shelf Temperature Controllers or Digital
Displays via 2 core cabling. Output unaffected by
rapid ambient changes of up to 100C as a result of
compensation circuitry. All heads have integral air
coolant/ purge chambers and teflon connections to
enable heads to function to 230C ambient.
Five Pyrometers are available in various lens formats
and measurement ranges relative to low E
measurement off steel. Two are precalibrated types
in alternative lens options with -45C to 650C
ranges. The adjustable heads are in 3 lens formats
with 3 configurable ranges between 260C & 2760C
according to lens aperture kit utilised and
potentiometer adjustment. The adjustable pyrometers
are calibrated on site to match the thermocouple
outputs over the required temperature range.
Purged Stainless
Lens Mount
All Sensor Heads are interchangeable without need

for recalibration. Both accuracy and linearity of
output signals are exceptionally high. Compact
stainless inline transmitters are available for
420mA or 020VDC current loops.
Robust purposebuilt mountings accommodate
straightforward modular replacement and provision
of air purge or coolant
