Object Positioners

Features

The Sentry SR and Watchman 3000 series offer:

  • High accuracy for inventory control without density correction
  • Monitoring of turbulent or agitated slurries even when mounted at high angle of incidence
  • Filtering software that ignores agitator blades and other obstacles
  • Ability to measure varying angles of repose and to convex or concave profiles
  • Ability to measure to reflective and non-reflective surfaces
  • Operation unaffected by dielectric of materials
  • Advanced software for superior performance through dust, steam and other harsh environments
  • Operation Immune to effects of temperature, vibration and background noise
  • Long-range measurement, up to 250 m and 1,500 m with reflectors
  • Narrow beam divergence (0.23°)
  • Velocity outputs (on positioners)
  • HART protocol
  • Explosion-proof enclosures
  • Programmable discrete relays
  • European and North American Hazloc approvals
  • Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 150°C

 

Typical Applications
Track the position of bulk material-handling equipment such as:

  • Tripper cars
  • Torpedo cars
  • Plough feeders
  • Cranes
  • Stacker/reclaimers
  • Ship loaders

Benefits

  • Track moving industrial objects such as conveyers and tripper cars
  • Operate accurately and continuously in noisy, dusty, hot/cold environments
  • Filter out obstacles in high-traffic areas between the unit and the tracked object
  • Measure ranges from 0.4 meters to 250 meters – up to 1,500 meters with a retro-reflector
  • Measure small targets at long range – narrow beam divergence keeps the focus tightly on your target
  • Reduce costs by eliminating moving parts
  • Increase safety by eliminating errors due to human intervention
