Radar (FMCW) level transmitter for liquids with hygienic requirements The OPTIWAVE 3500 is a 2-wire 80 GHz radar (FMCW) level transmitter for liquids in hygienic applications. It is designed for continuous, non-contact level measurement in the food and beverage as well as pharmaceutical industry. The device features a flush-mounted PEEK Lens antenna with a small beam angle and dead zone for precise measurement even in small and narrow tanks with agitators. It is equally suited for use on larger tanks up to measuring distances of 50 m / 164 ft. As the radar withstands process temperatures up to +150°C \ +302°F and pressures up to 25 barg / 362 psig, it can be used in CIP/SIP cleaning procedures. The OPTIWAVE 3500 offers a large choice of hygienic process connections. It comes with extensive device diagnostics as well as HART®7 communication.

Radar (FMCW) level transmitter for powders and dusty atmospheres The OPTIWAVE 6500 is a 2-wire 80 GHz radar (FMCW) level transmitter for demanding applications with powders in very dusty atmospheres. With its small beam angle, this radar is particularly suited for continuous, non-contact level measurement in high and narrow silos, hoppers or buffer storage containers up to 100 m / 328 ft. Due to the high signal dynamics of the FMCW radar, the level transmitter is ideal for low-reflective media, dust, uneven surfaces or tanks with obstacles. As it features a flush-mounted PEEK Lens antenna, there is no intrusion of the antenna into the tank.

Radar (FMCW) level transmitter for agitated and corrosive liquids The OPTIWAVE 7400 is a 2-wire 24 GHz radar (FMCW) level transmitter for liquids in harsh environments like tanks with agitators containing corrosive media. It is particularly designed for continuous, non-contact level measurement under extreme conditions prevalent in the chemical, petrochemical or oil and gas industry. The device features Metallic Horn antennas as well as PTFE and PEEK Drop antennas for measuring distances up to 100 m / 328 ft. The Drop antennas are perfectly suited for aggressive liquids in tanks. In applications with toxic and dangerous products, this radar device can be equipped with a Metaglas® second sealing barrier.

Radar (FMCW) level transmitter for solids from granulates to rocks The OPTIWAVE 6400 is a 2-wire 24 GHz radar (FMCW) level transmitter for basic applications with solids. This radar is designed for continuous, non-contact level measurement of stones, plastic granulates, coffee beans and other products in solids processing of various industries. The level transmitter features a Metallic Horn antenna as well as PP and PTFE Drop antennas. The Drop antenna design minimizes scaling and is unaffected by the angle of repose. Hence no need for expensive antenna aiming kits or purging systems.

The WARP portable is a mobile, radar-based hand-held gauge for selective wall thickness measurement, specially designed for medium and large pipe extrusion as well as for sheets. The application possibilities are very flexible, whether as a quick centering aid in the start-up process, for final production control or as a stock control device. Not only wall thicknesses at pipe ends can be measured, but also the progression inside a pipe section or a sheet. The measurement itself is performed at the push of a button. The last 500 measured values including the measuring angle on the pipe as well as the time stamp are stored. Over 400 WARP portable sold speak for themselves. Other advantages/features: — Hand-held measuring device for wall thicknesses from 2 to 110 mm (depending on material) — Measured value log including measuring position on the pipe (last 500 measured values) — Intuitive handling — Splash-proof housing (IP54)

The WARP CP is an inline measuring system with radar-based wall thickness sensors for detecting the various structures of a corrugated pipe. Outer and inner diameters, as well as the wall thicknesses of the bell, crest, liner, and valley can be resolved. The system is available for large, corrugated pipes with diameters from 300 mm. Since the corrugated tube has different structures, it is therefore necessary to assign the measurement data to the corresponding position on or in the tube. The WARP-CP algorithms do this automatically and prepare the data for the user in such a way that he receives different graphics and corresponding measurement data for each structure. Other advantages/features: — Non-destructive, contactless, and automated inline measurement of all relevant structures of the corrugated tube — No waste due to destructive measurement — Repair of critical thick and thin spots — Saving of material overweight in the end product

WARP 100 is an inline pipe measuring system for wall thickness and diameter measurement at up to 38 measuring points and 19 axes. More than 1100 measurements per second guarantee a gapless measurement. This is particularly important for pipes with high quality requirements, such as pressure or gas pipes. The maximum line speed for 100% coverage is up to 11.8 m/min. WARP 100 is available in three sizes and can be used for measurement in the diameter range from 25 to 630 mm. Measured variables such as wall thickness, diameter, ovality, eccentricity as well as process conditions (e.g. sagging) are precisely recorded, documented, and further used for automatic process control. Other advantages/features: — Measurement with 100% pipe coverage in diameter range from 25 to 630 mm (three sizes) — Wall thickness range from 2 up to 125 mm (depending on material) — Detection of thin sections within the tube — 100% documentation of production according to specifications

The WARP 8 is an inline pipe measuring system for wall thickness and diameter measurement at 8 points or 4 axes. It provides all important measurement data required for manual or automated process optimization and control. In addition to the short return-of-invest time, the system offers high measurement accuracy as well as process automation and documentation functions. The static sensors allow a high resolution of the measured values in the extrusion direction. Thus, process fluctuations are precisely recorded and visible, so that effects such as short-term fluctuations in output or backpressure effects during the sawing process can be detected and eliminated. Other advantages/features: — Diameter range from 60 to 1200 mm (five sizes) — Wall thickness range from 2 up to 250 mm (depending on material) — Short ROI period — Ideal for process optimization
