OndoSense has unveiled the latest generation of its high-performance radar distance sensor, designed for ultra-precise and reliable measurements in demanding industrial environments. The new OndoSense apex radar sensor now features a Profinet interface and an enhanced measuring rate of 500 Hz, making it one of the fastest and most accurate industrial distance sensors on the market. With real-time measurement capabilities and precision of up to ±1 micrometer, the sensor is setting new standards for industrial automation.
The integration of the Profinet interface simplifies connectivity with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), streamlining the setup process. The OndoSense apex is versatile, capable of performing micrometer-precise distance measurements, complex dimensional assessments, and highly accurate level, height, and throughput measurements. It can even detect the position of hidden objects, such as those behind plastic sheets or packaging, thanks to its advanced radar technology. With a broad measuring range of 0.1 to 40 meters, the sensor is equally effective for close-range and long-distance applications.
Robust Performance for Challenging Environments
The OndoSense apex is built to withstand harsh industrial conditions, making it suitable for a wide range of industries, including steel, metal, mining, mechanical engineering, energy, and transport and logistics. Its reliability and precision enable significant productivity gains in complex applications, such as measuring the width and profile of semi-finished metal products or monitoring the level of molten materials like aluminum, copper, and steel.
Rainer Waltersbacher, Co-CEO of OndoSense, emphasized the sensor’s capabilities: “Our radar sensor’s unique reliability, robustness, and precision allow customers to achieve substantial productivity improvements in challenging applications. The OndoSense apex is designed to meet the high demands of industrial environments, offering both speed and accuracy. Based on customer feedback, we’ve further optimized its performance and made commissioning even easier.”
