Efficiency and precision in measuring the thickness and width of sheets and metal levels at high temperatures OndoSense radar sensors are widely used in the metallurgical industry, from the production of steel, copper, and aluminum in blast furnaces and continuous casting plants to the hot and cold rolling of metal pieces, such as slabs, steel beams, long and flat profiles, and sheet piles. They are also applied in metal processing in coating, cutting, and slitting lines.

Our sensors provide precise measurement of the width and thickness of semi-finished metals, non-contact monitoring of molten metals, and strip positioning in coating lines. The innovative radar technology operates reliably even in challenging environments with smoke, vapor, fire, heat, and dirt.

OndoSense solutions reduce waste of steel, aluminum, and copper, lower production costs in rolling mills, and help mitigate CO₂ emissions in the metallurgical industry.
