Distance measurement

Radar distance measurement sensors

High-precision radar distance sensors.

Powerful, robust, fast distance radar sensors.

Reliable measurement results even in harsh environments.

Powerful radar distance sensors are needed to measure accurately and reliably even in complex industrial environments. With its unique measurement precision and real-time measurement rate, OndoSense distance radar sensors are ideal for automation in industrial applications with harsh conditions. With our OndoSense apex and OndoSense reach radar sensors you will increase the productivity of machines and processes, save operating and material costs and reduce your CO2 emissions. You will also benefit from minimal maintenance costs, as our radar-based distance sensors have no moving parts, work contactless and rarely need to be cleaned. Even with dirt on the lens, OndoSense's high-performance radar sensors measure with great reliability.

Our radar sensors enable not only highly reliable distance measurements: The application spectrum of our distance radar sensors also includes complex dimensional measurements, high-precision throughput and level measurements as well position controls of static or moving objects, obstacle detection and collision avoidance.

Applications of our radar distance sensors.

Discover how our distance radar sensors can help automate processes, machines & plants.

Our radar distance sensor is suitable for various applications and industries: From the position control of cranes and the height control of the tractor sprayer boom to the monitoring of bridge condition, the level measurement of liquid metal and the measurement of steel slabs in the rolling mill.

Sprayer boom height control with radar sensors

  • Reliable height control of the sprayer boom through precise ground distance measurement using radar distance sensors.
  • Controlled plant growth and cost savings through optimized use of the sprayed liquids (e. g. fertilizer, pesticides or other fluids).

Thickness measurement of steel slabs with distance radar sensors

Lift height control for forklifts

  • Accurate lift height measurement for maintenance-free, efficient forklift operation using non-contact radar technology.
  • Dependable mast height measurement, even for high-reach forklifts such as reach trucks or very narrow aisle trucks.

Positioning of barn robots with radar sensors

Width measurement of semi-finished steel with radar

  • Micrometer-precise width measurement of slabs, steel beams, long & flat steel with radar distance sensors.
  • The radar system is suitable for hot or cold rolling mills and works even in smoke, steam, fire or dirt.
  • Our radar solution helps reducing metal rejects and lowering production costs.

Bridge condition monitoring with distance radar sensor

Ground clearance monitoring with radar distance sensor

  • Continuous ground clearance monitoring for automated height adjustment of combine harvester headers or tractor implements.
  • Our robust distance radar sensor ensures automated processes and productive use of agricultural machinery in the field.

Height measurement on conveyors with radar

  • High-precision height control of bulk solids (e. g. fertilizer, feed or seeds) on the conveyor belt with radar distance sensors.
  • Radar enables enhanced product quality through contact-free, accurate determination of bulk material dosing.

Steel strip positioning in the coating line with radar

  • Accurate inline position control of the steel or metal strip in the coating line – with radar distance sensors.
  • With our reliable radar technology, you can prevent collision-related damage to the system or the assembly line.
  • This avoids unplanned downtime, unnecessary maintenance and repair bills and costly production losses.

Position control of cranes with distance radar sensors

Positioning drones & mobile robots with radar distance sensors

  • Positioning of drones and mobile robots during high-pressure cleaning or for obstacle detection during inspection tasks.
  • Our robust, reliable radar distance sensor ensures productive operations even in the most adverse conditions.

Non-destructive detection of hidden objects in packaging

Non-destructive detection of hidden objects in packaging with radar distance sensors
  • Reliable radar distance sensors for non-destructive detection of objects – e. g. in plastic or cardboard packaging.
  • Automated, non-optical detection of missing product components during quality control.

Height or passage control of vehicles with radar

Distance radar sensor for height or passage control of vehicles
  • Outdoor-proof distance radar sensors for height or passage control of vehicles e.g. trucks, cars or special vehicles in mining.
  • The radar technology can be used as a trigger for gates or barriers as well as for access control.

Distance control for the exact positioning of robot grippers

Radar distance sensor for the positioning of robot grippers
  • Reliable, robust radar distance sensor for high-precision positioning of robot grippers.
  • Radar enables robot grippers to grab fragile objects precisely without destroying them.

Detection of passing vehicles with radar

Detection of passing vehicles with distance radar sensors
  • Distance radar sensors for the precise detection of passing vehicles such as trains, trucks or cars.
  • Our robust radar system can be used for reliable vehicle counting or to trigger barriers.
