Fiber optic hot metal detector Stato-Sonde Z56

Presentation and operating principle : The Stato-Sonde Z56 is a Hot Metal Detector for 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 Z56 to withstand the very severe environmental conditions of the steel industry or rolling mills or continuous casting machine. The infrared radiation emitted by the hot product is collected by the optic, transmitted through the optical fibre and send to the photosensitive element. The signal is processed by the electronic circuit which outputs the detection signal.
