Radar-based EMG sensor technology for furnaces - EMG-Vivaldi®

A view through the furnace wall? Possible with the EMG-Vivaldi®! Since no components are installed inside the furnace, our radar sensor offers a low-maintenance and safe solution with low operating costs for your furnace application.

EMG-Vivaldi® is based on the principle of so-called Vivaldi antennas. The system consists of two pairs of antennas, each placed on a side wall of the furnace. One antenna serves as a transmitter and the other as a receiver.

The evaluation of the data and thus the determination of the strip center position is carried out within the control cabinet via RPU (Radar Processing Unit) and DPU (Data Processing Unit).

Advantages of our radar-based sensors

No sensor parts in the furnace

Measurement from outside through the furnace wall, consisting of furnace wall insulation, closed pressure-tight flange and sensor

No direct contact of the antenna housing with the furnace interior

No deformation of the antennas possible

No damage to the sensor by the strip possible

No soiling of the furnace interior or antenna housing

No cleaning of the antennas required

No need for cooling systems for sensors inside the oven

Exchange of antennas or sensor electronics possible without line stop

Low total cost of ownership (TCO)

Calibration by means of simple reference measurements

Only one type of sensor for all strips (Independent of strip width, strip temperature and material quality)

Particularly high-quality, thermal furnace wall insulation on the sensor
