EMG Sensors - Optical, inductive, radar-based

Reliable strip guiding prevents damage to the product or even the production line and enables the strip to run smoothly through the treatment process.

Due to ever higher quality requirements and very high availability with few operating and maintenance personnel, the demands here are constantly increasing, which is also reflected in the required qualities of the strip guiding systems and their components.

Reliable determination of the strip center position is always the most important goal for all strip guiding solutions.

After decades of experience and with approx. 1500 strip guiding systems sold per year, EMG has a wide range of sophisticated optical, inductive and radar-based sensors to realise this goal.

EMG SMI Inductive Sensor

EMG offers individual solutions using inductive sensors for maintenance-free and highly precise determination of the strip edge and centre position.

EMG Optical Sensor EVK3

EMG offers customised solutions using precise optical sensor systems to accurately determine the centre position of the strip.

EMG-Vivaldi<sup>®</sup> Radar-based Sensor

Measuring strip position in annealing furnaces is a particular challenge. Our EMG-Vivaldi® is located outside and measures through the furnace wall.

Further strip guiding solutions

As a rule, a strip guiding system consists of a selection of sensors in combination with the following components:

EMG iCON<sup>®</sup> Electronics

EMG has many years of experience and expertise in the development and application of modern control electronics such as EMG iCON®

EMG Actuators

The special actuator components from EMG ensure optimum strip guiding that is individually tailored to the requirements of your system. 

Our sensor technology works where others reach their limits: in high-temperature environments, aggressive media or in the vicinity of vibrating machines. Our sensors deliver highest accuracy with minimal maintenance and maximum service life.
