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.

Double Award-Winning User Software
MEVIweb, the ground-breaking software for measurement and control technology for IMS measuring systems, has impressed two independent juries with its ease of use.
The modern information design and clear feedback give users a precise overview of the status of the individual systems and enable them to analyse the large amounts of data quickly and easily.
Thanks to the latest technologies, all operating system platforms can be used. The system can even run on tablets and smartphones with the security features that users are accustomed to.
Inclusion Detection System (IDS)
- Non-contact early detection of internal inclusions, shell defects and optically undetectable surface defects by means of magnetic flux leakage in the running process
- Precise detection of strips with thickness 0.1 – 1.0 mm and speed of max. 1,000 m/min at full resolution
- Detectable defect size (substitude defect): Hole: 70 μm diameter; groove: 10 μm deep, 100 μm wide, (substitute defect) 1,000 μm long in strip 250 μm thick
Combined surcon 2D / 3D Surface Inspection for Pickling Lines
- Simultaneous detection of surface defects and their visualisation both in 2D and 3D
- Reliable assessment of surface defects through evaluation of image and height information
- Significant reduction in roll damage and broken strip through reliable rejection of critical defects
Strip Edge Profile Measuring System Edge Drop
- Exact determination of strip edge thickness profile, centreline thickness and edge position reduces the scrap rate when trimming cold-rolled steels
- Based on the measurement results, the rolling mill can be controlled automatically and the production process optimised via a closed loop control
- Rolling mills produce cost-efficiently and according to the highest quality standards, delivering a flawless starting product to specification to the processing industry
