Hot Metal Detectors

A hot metal detector from Hokuyo is the optimal solution for detecting infrared energy and other mill products.

Hokuyo hot metal detectors are robust, mill-duty sensors specifically designed for steel production applications. These devices are implemented wherever a process is to be controlled through accurate presence or position detection of material flow. Optical sensing solutions are used to detect the presence or position of rod, billet, bar, slab or plate in a rolling mill, continuous casting or other process lines. Any heated material that radiates infrared light or passes within the operating range of the hot metal detectors will initiate a primary or secondary function such as transfer of operations, pacing, slow down or a final stop control. These sensors can reduce the risks of process line failures, scrap and rework by enabling the user to accurately detect product from start to finish.
