PRESENTATION OF THE COMPANY American Sensors was founded in 1993 as a Pittsburgh based manufacturer of sensors and systems technologies specifically targeting the unique demands of the Metals Industries. Our sensors are installed in Melt Shops, Continuous Casters, Hot Rolling Mills, Plate Mills, Cold Mills, Pickle Lines, Galvanizing lines, and other facilities around the world. Our expertise lies in sensors that can be used to detect and measure steel and other metals products without contacting the material. To do this we have applied Infrared, Laser, Magnetic, Microwave and other technologies to the harsh environments encountered in the typical mill environment. Extremes of temperature, steam, smoke, dirt, and chemicals are part of the normal environment of our sensors. Our years of experience have helped to create sensors that will operate reliably and precisely for many years in the world’s worst environments!

ASC sensors are mounted in mill-duty, cast aluminium enclosures with standard water-cooling and positive pressure air purging, 2-axis adjustable base and quick-disconnect plug.
