Strip guiding systems sensor

Reliable strip guiding systems are needed to ensure that your aluminum or steel strips are precisely positioned in the coating line. Benefit from our our innovative radar technology for a precise steel strip guiding in all conditions. Our radar sensors work reliably even in the most difficult production environments with heat, dust, smoke, steam, vibrations, noise, adverse lighting conditions or rough surfaces. Thanks to our innovative radar technology, you will successfully prevent collision-related damages to the steel strip or the strip guiding systems. As a result, you will reduce unplanned downtime, maintenance and repair costs and increase the productivity of the coating line.

For a zero-defect coating process in the coating line, it is important to continuously determine and correct the precise position of the steel strip. The OndoSense radar solution was specially developed for this application: It enables error-free strip guiding of the steel or aluminum strip. The radar system is suitable for all surface textures, colors and metals. Both freshly painted strips and high-gloss products are reliably detected. The radar sensor thus enables reliable strip guiding systems, ensuring an efficient functioning of the color coating line.

Our sensor system is based on high-precision radar technology that is insensitive to heat, dust, smoke, steam, vibration, noise, difficult lighting conditions or rough surfaces. OndoSense radar sensors are therefore able to supply your strip guiding system with reliable measurement values in every situation.

For safety reasons, the distance measurement to the steel strip is carried out redundantly with two sensors on both sides of the strip. Our sensor solution determines the position of the steel or aluminum strip for correct height adjustment with an accuracy of up to 1 mm. Thanks to the high measurement rate, the radar sensors will detect anomalies at an early stage: This means that strip guiding systems can immediately intervene to correct the coating process.

With the OndoSense sensor solution for strip guiding, measurement errors that lead to faulty steel strip settings are once and for all a thing of the past. Thanks to our extremely reliable radar technology, you will successfully ward off collision-related damages to the metal strip or the coating line. You can finally say goodbye to unplanned downtime, high maintenance expenditures, costly production failures and annoying repair costs.

Productive.
More productivity with radar.
- Our radar system enables reliable measurement values - regardless of color, surface or metal type.
- You will benefit from a safer, more productive coating line and prevent scrap.
Profitable.
Low integration effort.
- Our radar sensor does not need active cooling – a heat-proof PTFE window is sufficient to protect it.
- The OndoSense radar is insensitive to dust, smoke, steam, noise or poor lighting conditions.
Reliable.
Secure, reliable strip guiding.
- Our radar sensors measure reliably even on rough and smooth surfaces or with heat and vibrations.
- This ensures precise steel strip guiding and prevents collisions as well as expensive downtime.
