THE 6X®
THE RADAR LEVEL SENSOR
THE RADAR LEVEL SENSOR
HOW DO YOU FIND THE BEST CHIP?
YOU INVENT IT.
The radar chip inside VEGAPULS 6X combines the experience gained from 30 years of radar level measurement engineering.
The heart of the sensor
If we had to make a list of the most important innovations in our radar level sensor VEGAPULS 6X, its radar chip would be right at the top. At the sensor’s heart, is the pulsating technology that empowers it to fulfil our high expectations in terms of precision and reliability. And this is mainly thanks to its ability to self-diagnose during operation, which makes it possible to seamlessly and continually monitor the accuracy and performance of the sensor.
