Maxcess, a global leader in innovative products and services for web handling applications, today announced a breakthrough in its product lineup for the metals industry. Building upon its decades of leading ultrasonic, infrared, optical, capacitive, and inductive sensors, Maxcess introduces the new Fife ERW (Electromagnetic Radar Wave) Sensor.
Through a five-year partnership with the Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques FHR, this innovative technology leverages radar waves to accurately detect the position of a metal strip through the insulation window of a furnace with temperatures exceeding 1000 °C.
“We are delighted to have partnered with the Fraunhofer FHR, a well-respected organization known for their commitment to innovation,” says Dr. Paul-Philipp Zänker, Research and Development Manager for Maxcess Europe. “The introduction of radar technology marks a significant milestone in our company’s history, and we are excited to introduce it to the market.”
Unlike existing radar sensors, the Fife ERW Sensor from Maxcess provides unparalleled accuracy, being up to 6 times more precise than the competition. This achievement significantly reduces waste and scrap, helping industries optimize their processes to achieve greater efficiency while providing a more sustainable solution.
