Level measurement is one of the central tasks in industrial automation. Whether it’s food filling, liquid container monitoring, or material roll control, fill levels need to be reliably detected in almost every industry to control processes and avoid downtimes.
Each application presents its own challenges: Different materials, transparencies, temperatures or viscous media make fill level detection a challenging measurement task. Modern sensor technology offers the right solution for every situation.
In production facilities where solid objects such as screws, rivets or even food (e.g. meat or spices) are filled, it is crucial to continuously monitor the fill level in the container. Only when it is known how much material is in the container can the filling process be controlled constantly and efficiently.
In the process and manufacturing industries, fluid levels in storage or mixing vessels must be continuously monitored. The challenge : Different colors, viscosities, foam, bubbles or gloss levels must not interfere with the measurement.
In applications such as packaging, film or textile production, materials are continuously wound or unwound on rolls. To avoid production stops, it is necessary to precisely identify how much material is still on the roll.
In processes under pressure or vacuum – such as in the production of fragrances, chemicals or liquid mixtures – precise detection of the fill level is essential. Here, the measuring system must work independently of the density, color or viscosity of the medium.
LevelTech Level Sensors
These sensors measure capacitively and reliably detect both minimum and maximum fill levels , even under difficult environmental conditions. They are particularly robust against aggressive or chemically active media.
In automotive production , body parts are often joined with self-pierce rivets . In order for the robot to reliably remove the rivets from the feeder and process them further, precise recognition of the individual rivets in the feed hose is required.
Inductive Ring Sensors
These sensors detect metallic objects, such as rivets, as they pass through the hose – regardless of their speed or surface finish. This ensures trouble-free feeding and a high level of process reliability.
Whether liquid, bulk material or solid material – every application has its own requirements for level measurement. Thanks to modern sensor solutions from wenglor, these tasks can be solved contactlessly, precisely and reliably .
In this way, wenglor enables tailor-made fill level control for every industrial application – from food production to high-precision manufacturing.
