Torpedo Car Level Measurement For Flat Casting Floor
MWS-24RF-TH

Enables a flat casting floor.
The MWS-24RF-TH type Micro Ranger was developed for torpedo car level measurement while making the casting floor flat. This FM-CW microwave sensor consists of a controller, antenna, guide pipe, and reflector. The reflector, guide pipe, antenna, and controller are installed under the fixed casting floor. The flat casting floor allows heavy machinery to keep moving freely without obstruction.

Features

  • Flat casting floor
    The flat casting floor allows heavy machinery to keep moving freely without obstruction.
  • Unaffected by adverse conditions
    Microwaves are unaffected by heat, flames, and air particles.
    The reflector and guide pipes can be used in very high temperature areas, while the antenna can be used in temperatures up to 150°C. The controller should be installed in normal temperature areas.
  • High accuracy and reliability
    ±3mm accuracy (Target : Metallic plate)
    Employs the rotary microwave technique in spite of the large frequency sweep: false measurements caused by double-reflected waves are eliminated through the use of rotary microwaves.
    The sharper microwave beam ensures stable measurement, even when the mouth of the torpedo car is small.
    Utilizes filters which eliminate spurious signals.
  • The operational state is shown on your personal computer
    It displays an FFT spectrum, the received signal and various preset values.
    The received signal, FFT spectrum and the measurement trend are continually displayed. This displayed data can be recorded and reviewed in real or accelerated time.
    Use of the recording and reviewing capabilities allows the system parameters to be optimized offline.
  • Convenient built-in functions
    A reference point and the required range are easily preset.
    Compatible for use with a personal computer.
    Wide range of power supply 90~240V, 50/60Hz.
    Communicates with a Personal Computer by RS-232C.
    4-20mA, analogue output.
    RS-422 digital output terminals (distance, receiving power level, temperature and alarm).
  • Comprehensive stand alone system
    No additional hardware/software is needed as all signal processing is done in the controller.
  • Lightweight and compact
    Portable (controller: approx. 6kg, antenna : approx. 6kg).
    Easy installation.
