THE 6X®
THE RADAR LEVEL SENSOR
THE RADAR LEVEL SENSOR
ONE FOR EVERYTHING.
A radar sensor that doesn’t care if it's measuring liquids or bulk solids.
With VEGAPULS 6X you get a sensor that can handle any application, no matter if the medium to be measured is liquid, solid, hot, cold, hazardous or corrosive. No longer do you need to select the right instrument from a multitude of different options. Just leave that to us. You specify the operational parameters and process conditions, we’ll put together a level measuring instrument that is tailor-made for you.
SIMPLE, SIMPLER, THE 6X®
We build exactly the VEGAPULS 6X you need for your application.
You provide us with all parameters via the new configurator, or during a personal consultation, we select the right instrument version for your process.
From then on, it takes only a few days for your perfect radar level sensor to be manufactured, tested and shipped.
Since all settings in VEGAPULS 6X can be preconfigured to your application in advance, it’s ready for immediate use. The display and adjustment module is
clear, concise and easy to understand. The instrument has Bluetooth for wireless adjustment with the VEGA Tools App.
Reliable right from the start
Universal, fast deployment
Meets all hygienic requirements
Full security
KEY ADVANTAGES OF THE SENSOR
IN BRIEF
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
THREE INTRINSIC VALUES: ACCURACY, RELIABILITY AND EASE OF USE.
Admittedly, at first glance you can’t tell what’s inside the new VEGAPULS 6X radar sensor: A high-precision level instrument that doesn’t care if its measuring liquids or bulk solids.
The new radar level sensor VEGAPULS 6X now combines the best of the previous 80 GHz, 26 GHz and 6 GHz sensors, such as VEGAPULS 64 and VEGAPULS 69, in one device.
