The next level
of hot & cold metal
detection

The scout series is mecorad’s radar-based precise detector series for challenging environments in the metal and steel industry. It detects objects with a highly flexible distance in a range from 200 mm up to 5000 mm of the sensor reliably and fast in real-time – whether you are working with red-hot or cold metal, whether fog, dirt or cooling water are obstructing the view.

Interfaces

The scout series continuously delivers precise information about objects in the detected field directly to the PLC via Modbus/TCP interface or relay contact.

Performance

Even under conditions of dirt, dust, extreme heat, thermal radiance or aerosols, the scout series works accurately and with low maintenance. It is protected according to IP68 rating and can be cooled or sealed off from heat effectively.
