OPTIMUS Steel

Radar sensor for steel heating optimization and furnace control 

OPTIMUS Steel is a radar measurement sensor that delivers thermal strain-rate, width, or distance (absolute/relative) of steel slabs, billets, or blooms. 
​​​​​​​
The measurements can also be used to determine expansion/shrinkage, displacement, or curvature.  OPTIMUS Steel is based on the generic radar measurement sensor DiRAD Industry.
