The Pinhole Detector is a line-mounted instrument that senses the light passing through any through-the-strip holes. The pinhole detector provides an affordable solution for high-speed lines and wherever highest sensitivity and reliability are essential.
Product Detail
For installation in:
Steel & Non-Ferrous Cold Mills
Steel & Non-Ferrous Process Lines
Electrolytic Tin Coating Lines
The Pinhole Detector is a line-mounted instrument which senses the light passing through any through-the-strip holes. A source of light is on one side of the strip. On the other side, photomultiplier tubes transform light coming through the hole into an electrical signal, which is then filtered to eliminate the effect of ambient light, and processed to yield a 'pinhole' signal.
The Thermo Scientific pinhole detector provides an affordable solution for high-speed lines and wherever highest sensitivity and reliability are essential.
