LoGas - Measuring Filling Levels in Gastanks

The measuring system LoGas is used for detecting filling levels in gas tanks within millimeter accuracy. Moreover it controls the horizontal alignment of the membrane in ongoing workflows. On reflector, the maximum distance measuring range can be several hundert meters. The tolerance accuracy is constant over the entire measuring area and is independent of the measuring length. For instance the sensors are connected to the PLC with a switch.
