Introduction
The TS 2006 is a scanning measuring sensor, sensitive to infrared radiation emitted by hot products with temperature as low as 250°C (480°F).

The sensor is complete with:

an opto-electronic assembly inside a heavy duty housing with a protective hood and a connector assembly and cable
a cooling plate with stainless steel coil

Its design and particularly its cast aluminum case make it specially adapted to the harsh environment of the steel industry.

Working Principle Up
A rotating mirrored drum scans the field of view.

When the analytical beam of the sensor detects infrared radiation from the leading edge of a hot product within the scanned field, the reflection of that radiation by the mirrored drum onto the measuring cell provides a signal which is converted into a "measuring" pulse train.

In addition, the sensor generates a reference pulse which corresponds to the beginning of the scanned field.

The time "t" between the reference pulse and the measuring pulse is equivalent to the angle "a" between the beginning of the scanned field and the position of the leading edge of the hot product. The sensor converts the time "t" into an analog voltage which is proportional to the angle "a" and independent of the scanning motor speed.
