OndoSense offers micrometer-precise, real-time capable radar sensor with Profinet interface

FREIBURG, Germany - Jan. 2, 2025 - PRLog -- The OndoSense apex radar sensor for ultra-precise, reliable distance measurements now offers a Profinet interface and an even higher measuring rate of 500 Hz. With this real-time measuring speed and a unique measuring precision of up to ±1 µm, the OndoSense apex is further strengthening its position as the most powerful industrial distance sensor on the radar market. The sensor can now be integrated to the PLC even more easily than before via Profinet. The application spectrum of the OndoSense apex radar sensor ranges from micrometer-precise distance measurements and complex dimensional measurements to highly accurate level, height and throughput measurements as well as determining of the position of hidden objects (e.g. behind plastic sheets or packaging). Thanks to its wide measuring range of 0.1 to 40 meters, the OndoSense apex can be used reliably both at close range and over longer distances. The robust radar sensor is suitable for a variety of industries – from the steel, metal and mining industry to mechanical engineering, the energy sector or transport and logistics.

Highly accurate measurement results in harsh, complex applications

"Thanks to the unique reliability, robustness and precision of our radar sensor, customers can achieve high productivity gains in complex applications in a very short time – e. g. in the width and profile measurement of semi-finished metal products or the level measurement of molten aluminium, copper or steel. The OndoSense apex enables automation even in harsh industrial environments with high demands regarding measurement speed and precision. Based on the feedback from our customers, we have now been able to optimize again the high level of performance and further simplify commissioning," says Rainer Waltersbacher, Co-CEO of OndoSense.

Profinet interface: uncomplicated integration into existing systems

„Providing high-performance radar sensors that are easy to commission and enable greater productivity through automation: this is what we are committed to at OndoSense – and we have already convinced many customers. With the new Profinet interface of the OndoSense apex, we have now reached an important milestone, because customers can integrate our radar sensor 'plug and play' into the PLC," explains Mathias Klenner, Co-CEO and founder of OndoSense.

In addition to the Profinet interface, OndoSense also offers variants with an analog current interface (4-20 mA) and digital switching outputs (PNP/NPN).
