Fill Level of Dry Material in a Hopper
Application: Monitoring level of dry material
Challenges: Uneven and shifting surface
Solution: LT3 Series Laser Distance Measurement Sensor
Benefits: Senses irregular surfaces
To accurately determine the level of dry bulk material in a bin hopper, despite the material's uneven surface
Description
An L-GAGE LT3 laser distance-gauging sensor, mounted above the hopper, measures the distance to the material's irregular surface, enabling a PLC to calculate the bin’s fill level.
