Level measurement

Powerful level measurement with radar.

Powerful level measurement in harsh environment.

Reliable, fast, precise radar level sensors.

Even for measurements of 1600 degree hot steel or aluminum.

With OndoSense radar technology, high-performance level measurement is possible even in complex, harsh industrial environments. Our radar level sensors offer reliable, fast level measurement with micrometer-level accuracy. This opens up new applications for level measurement – ​​for example, in the level control of molten steel or aluminum for the metal industry or in the high-precision flow measurement of bulk material on conveyor belts for the mining industry.

Our level sensors increase the productivity of your machines and processes, help you save operating and material costs, and reduce your CO2 emissions. You will also benefit from low maintenance costs. The reason: Our radar sensors have no moving parts, work contact-free, and rarely require cleaning. Even with a dirty lens, OndoSense radar sensors always measure reliably.

  • Productive.

    High productivity gains: Our radar sensors provide precise level measurements even in harsh industrial environments.

  • Reliable.

    Robust radar technology: Our level sensors measure reliably & fast – even in dust, steam, smoke, vibrations, or extreme temperatures.

  • Profitable.

    Minimal maintenance: Radar has no moving parts, measures without contact and almost never requires cleaning.

Ultra-precise, robust radar level sensor.

Applications of our radar level sensors.

Automate your processes and increase the plant productivity – with radar level measurement.

OndoSense radar level transmitters are suitable for a variety of applications and industries: from level control of molten metal in melting furnaces, ladle cars, launder systems, and slab casting to throughput measurement of bulk material on conveyor belts and level measurement of bulk material stockpiles.

Level control of molten metal with radar

  • Contact-free level control of molten metal at temperatures of up to 1600 degrees Celsius – with radar.
  • Our radar sensor measures the level with sub-millimeter accuracy even in dust, ash, water vapor and extreme heat.
  • The radar measures all types of metal. An active cooling of the level radar is usually not necessary.

Level monitoring in launder systems

  • Precise level monitoring in launder systems for the reliable filling of casting pits, ladles, and molds.
  • High-precision level measurement of molten steel, copper, or aluminum in open or closed launder systems, channels, or troughs.
  • The level radar generally does not require active cooling.

Level and volume measurement of bulk material stockpiles

Level monitoring in closed melting furnaces

Level measurement in DC and die casting of slabs

  • High-precision level measurement of metal at temperatures up to 1600 degrees Celsius in DC or die casting of slabs.
  • Raw material-saving processes through high-quality casting of slabs or ingots.

Throughput and level measurement on the conveyor belt

Level measurement of casting molds and ladle cars

  • Level measurement of hot molten metal in ladle cars with high measurement accuracy and rate.
  • Reliable and fast further processing of liquid aluminum or steel in the converter or foundry.
  • The level sensor generally does not require active cooling. A protective housing can be ordered if required.
