Our WHD models are used for detection of punched holes or weld holes in continuous process lines such as continuous galvanizing lines, continuous electro-galvanizing lines, continuous annealing lines, continuous pickle lines, and other types of continuous process lines.

Key Features:

  • Reliable detection of Ø6 – Ø13 mm holes up to 150 km/h (93 mph).
  • High resistant to ambient light (>70,000 LUX).
  • Dust, mist and vibration tolerant with NO moving parts.
  • Detects holes with emitter completely covered by strip.
  • Detects holes with one edge of emitter not covered by the strip.
  • Detects holes with both edges of emitter uncovered by the strip.
  • Flexible mounting with M6 “swivel in the nut”.
