Measuring System
The radar width measuring system consists of two columnar system units positioned outside the roller table on opposite sides of the material to be measured.
Each unit of the radar width measurement has a radar sensor in which electromagnetic waves are generated and which are emitted by means of an antenna. The radar beams of both units are aimed at the outer edge of the material. A part of the electromagnetic waves emitted is reflected by the material and received by two further, identical antennas.
The radar waves are frequency modulated. The difference in frequency between the radar waves emitted and received thus results in the distance to the reflection point or the exact distance to the material.
measurement of material width
measurement of centreline deviation
Special Features
- gauges are installed at a sufficient distance from the roller table (low temperature influence)
- no need to build over the roller table
- insensitive to water, steam and dust (outstanding advantage over optical measuring systems)
- harmless to humans (in contrast to laser radiation)
- maintenance-free measuring device

…These are particularly impressive due to their long service life and constant performance.
Our measuring systems allow our customers to always be one step ahead of the competition.
Our motto of “Precision out of passion and quality out of conviction” is the decisive criterion for the development of our high-precision measuring systems, many of which have been and still are world firsts.
To be allowed to actively support this pioneering spirit for more than 30 years, as well as our passion for precision, is a challenge anew for me every day, which continues to motivate and inspire me even after all these years.
For me, it’s not enough to just talk about the matter. You have to speak to the people and therefore it is my personal goal to guide you through the buying process with the quality of my advice and my support, to develop with you exactly the measuring system that is right for your specific measurement tasks and that has been specially tailored to your individual application.”
