Infrared Detectors

EGE infrared detectors sense hot objects by detecting their thermal (infrared) emission rather than reflected light — effective in steel mills, glass plants, and primary metal processing where targets are at temperatures that destroy conventional optical sensors. Water and air-cooled mounting options allow the detector head to be positioned close to extreme heat sources, and the adjustable threshold accommodates variation in target temperature.

IR Thermal EmissionWater-Cooled Option

Applications

  • Hot slab and billet presence detection in steel mills.
  • Glass plant hot-glow detection at the hot end.
  • Ladle and tundish position sensing in steel casting.
  • Hot-end position checking in primary materials processing.
  • Glowing material detection on furnace discharge lines.

Key Features

  • Infrared emission-based detection — not dependent on reflectivity.
  • Operation at high ambient temperatures near hot processes.
  • Water-cooled and air-cooled mounting options.
  • Adjustable detection threshold.
  • Switching and analog output options.
