Fiber optic hot metal detector Stato-Sonde Z66

Presentation and operating principle : The Stato-Sonde Z66, a Hot Metal Detector with 2 sensitivity ranges, can detect material at temperatures over 300 °C. Thanks to its optical fibre, it is able to detect products even in areas with high ambient temperature or in difficult areas due to physical obstructions, limited space, steam etc... Its rugged design enables the Stato-Sonde Z66 to withstand the very severe environmental conditions of the steel industry or rolling mills or continuous casting machines. The infrared radiation emitted by the hot product is collected by the optic, transmitted through the optical fibre and sent to the photosensitive element. The signal is processed by the electronic circuit which outputs the detection signal.
