The Takex FD A300P Series provides accurate non contact detection of heated metal in steel production, forging operations, and other high temperature processes. These sensors evaluate the natural infrared energy emitted from heated materials through a fiber optic system, allowing reliable detection where standard photoelectric sensors cannot operate. The controller uses microcomputer processing to deliver stable performance, clear signal evaluation, and simplified setup for a broad range of industrial applications.
The FD A300P Series offers automatic and manual threshold modes, two selectable temperature ranges, and a numerical display that shows real time received light intensity for quick and repeatable adjustment. A recall function stores peak intensity readings to support diagnostics and process review. Multiple model variations are available so users can select the output style that best suits their control system.
