RaDime -

FUTURE PROOF THICKNESS MEASUREMENT OF STEEL STRIPS USING RADAR

In the rolling of metal sheets and strips in the metal industry, highly precise measurement systems are essential for product quality as well as efficient and resource-conserving production. Isotope-based radiation sources are currently still indispensable for measuring strip thickness. However, the safety risks associated with radioactive radiation, increasing regulatory requirements for its use, and the limited availability of raw materials for radiation sources necessitate new measurement methods to ensure the long-term efficient production of high-quality products.

RaDime pursues an innovative approach by integrating a DualBand SiGe MMIC into a real-time-capable multichannel MIMO millimeter-wave sensor module. The system is intended to enable highly precise radar-based thickness measurement, even in the presence of material bending and under varying angular conditions.
