Ultra Precise Molten Metal level sensing using Radar Technology
even with smoke, heat, dust & vibrations.
Smart Radar Sensor for width measurement Hot Rolling Mills
Challenges
- Extreme heat (≈1600°C) –> early sensor failure.
- Harsh ambient conditions –> inaccurate level monitoring
- Cooling-dependent systems –> high maintenance & downtime.
Solution
The high accuracy distance sensor with radar system-
- Contactless, inline measurement of slabs, strips, and plates (up to 1600 °C).
- Accuracy up to ±300 µm even in harsh environments
- Independent of alloy or metal type.
- Eliminates radiation hazards and reduces cost.
- Heavy-duty radar sensor operates reliably in extreme heat without active cooling.
- Delivers high-precision level measurement (300 µm at 300 Hz) with minimal maintenance needs.
