Product
Radar
VEGAPULS
-
In continuous non-contact level measurement with radar, the sensor sends microwave signals towards the medium from above. The surface of the medium reflects the signals back in the direction of the sensor. Using the received microwave signals, the sensor determines the distance to the product surface and calculates the level from it.

Product
Capacitive
VEGACAL
-
In capacitive level measurement, the sensor and the vessel form the two electrodes of a capacitor. Any change in level causes a capacitance change, which is in turn converted into a level signal.

Product
Vibration
VEGASWING, VEGAVIB, VEGAWAVE
-
In point level measurement with vibrating level switches, a rod or a fork is set vibrating. When the vibrating probe comes into contact with the medium, the vibration changes and the vibrating level switch outputs a switching command. Vibrating level switches are used as overfill protection devices or low-level indicators in liquids as well as in granular and powdery bulk solids.

Product
Controllers
-
Sensors gather measured values in a vessel and forward them to the controller. Through an adjustment in the controller, the measured values can be adapted to the specific conditions at the measuring point.

Product
Indicating Instruments
-
In continuous level measurement, the filling height in a vessel is repeatedly detected. The measured value is further processed, e.g. as a 4 … 20 mA signal in a PLC or process control system. Indication of the measured value directly on site is also frequently requested.

Overvoltage Protection Instruments
-
Safety devices designed to protect sensitive electrical equipment from voltage spikes, surges, or sustained excessive voltage.

Product
Hydrostatic
VEGABAR, VEGAWELL, VEGADIF
-
In hydrostatic level measurement, the measuring cell of the pressure transmitter detects even the slightest changes in hydrostatic pressure, which increases or decreases depending on the filling level. The acting pressure is converted into an electrical signal by the integrated electronics and then outputted as an output signal. Different types of measuring cells are used in level measurement based on the hydrostatic principle.

Product
Radiation-Based
-
A non-contact, industrial process technology that uses gamma radiation to detect the boundary layer (interface) between different materials.
-
Product
Signal conditioning
-
Simple parameterization of the sensors and visualization of the measured values via the on-site display.
-
Product
Guided Wave Radar
-
A top-down, direct sensing technology that uses low-energy microwave pulses sent down a probe to accurately detect the boundary between two immiscible liquids.

Product
Differential Pressure (Density)
VEGADIF
-
In density measurement of liquids with differential pressure, two pressure measuring points are mounted at a fixed distance from each other. There are thus two different pressures acting on the system. The differential pressure transducer calculates the density of the medium from the resulting pressure difference.

Product
Process Pressure
VEGABAR
-
Pressure transmitters measure the pressure of liquids, gases and vapours in pipes or closed vessels. The pressure of the measured medium acts on a pressure measuring cell, which converts it into an electronic signal.The process pressure transmitters are ideal for detecting the relative or absolute pressure in applications with condensation or rapid temperature changes.

Interface Measurement
-
Interfaces, that is, boundaries between separation layers, can be found everywhere in the process industry, e.g. in the chemical or oil & gas industry. An interface arises when two media with different densities are filled into a container: for example, water and oil. To separate the two media from one another, it is necessary to determine where the transition from one medium to the other is located. VEGA sensors can be used to measure both the total level and the interface reliably.

Wireless Communication
-
The wireless communication devices are used when measured values have to be transferred from remote monitoring stations or mobile tanks to data collection centers. They also enable wireless remote diagnostics and maintenance of the connected sensors.
