The highly accurate width measurement of steel slabs or other semi-finished metal is of great importance for reliable product quality in the hot rolling mill. With a product tolerance reduced by just a fraction of a millimeter, rolling mills can save significant amounts of raw steel, CO2<\/sub> emissions and production costs. The OndoSense radar sensor solution determines the width of steel plates, steel strips or steel slabs (up to 1600 \u00b0C hot) with an accuracy of up to \u00b1300 \u00b5m. 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. The alloy, metal type (e.g. aluminum, copper, steel, etc.) and metal properties have no influence on the reliability and precision of the slab width measurement in the rolling mill.<\/p>\n

The OndoSense radar sensor solution offers clear advantages compared to radiometric width measurement of steel products: On the one hand, these measuring methods based on radioactive isotope or X-ray emitters are very expensive, both in procurement and in operation. On the other hand, these systems require complex radiation protection and are very maintenance-intensive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
