Molten metal level measurement

Use Case

Thickness measurement of metal products

steel, metal, aluminium, aluminum, copper

Our radar sensor solution determines the thickness and the thickness profile of steel plates, steel strips or steel slabs (up to 1600 °C hot) with an accuracy of up to ±10 µm on the roller conveyor. Thanks to robust radar technology, sophisticated signal processing and intelligent radar algorithms, OndoSense radar sensors achieve this high level of precision in thickness measurement even under the difficult production conditions of the steel industry with smoke, steam, dirt, vibrations, fire and extreme temperatures.

Use Case

Width measurement of metal products

metal, steel, copper, aluminium, aluminum

The OndoSense radar sensor solution determines the width of steel plates, steel strips or steel slabs (up to 1600 °C hot) with an accuracy of up to ±300 µm. Thanks to robust radar technology, sophisticated signal processing and smart radar algorithms, our radar sensors offer this high precision in width measurement even in the extreme production environments of the metal and steel industry with steam, dirt, smoke, fire, vibrations and extreme temperatures.

Use Case

Molten metal level measurement

metal, steel, copper, aluminium, aluminum

With the OndoSense radar sensors, the fill level of liquid steel or aluminum can be measured contact-free with sub-millimeter accuracy, even at metal temperatures of up to 1600 degrees Celsius. Dust, steam, smoke, vibrations and strong heat radiation have no influence on the high precision and reliability of the radar-based molten metal level monitoring. Active cooling of the level radar is usually not necessary.
