The Hokuyo MBX series is a non-contact hot metal detector (HMD) that uses microwave transmission for detecting hot steel. This system integrates a control unit, stainless waveguide and remotely mounted antenna stand. For the most severe applications where dust, smoke, vapors, high temperatures, induced noise or intense ambient light are present, this non-invasive sensing system is ideal for reliable detection of hot material in a continuous casting line, pipe or rolling mill.
