Fill Level Measurement

One of our customers is using the AR2000 laser rangefinder to measure and control the level of molten metal in a furnace.

During the casting process, the AR700 laser is used to measure the surface location of the molten aluminum mold. In order to obtain a homogeneous oxide-free cast, the height of the mold must be precisely monitored.

Laser rangefinders can be mounted at the top of silos and aimed down at the surface to measure the fill level of the material in the silo. Due to the long operating range of the sensors, Acuity’s laser rangefinders are suitable for nearly any silo size.
