BORN WHERE VALUES ARE VALUED. THE 6X® – THE NEW RADAR LEVEL SENSOR

VEGA. HOME OF VALUES. We’re going to introduce you to more than just a new radar level sensor. The following pages will give you a view into its inner values: the perfection of technology and, most importantly, people’s ideas and experiences. These valuable assets have combined to produce the most advanced, reliable and accurate radar level device to deliver added value to your business. VEGAPULS 6X will fundamentally change how you measure level: The way you select, integrate and use an instrument will be easier than ever. In short, it’s a sensor for all applications. New sensor People...

WE DON’T MAKE A HUNDRED DIFFERENT THINGS. Ideas for real improvements don’t grow on trees, they come from people. People who identify, carefully consider and implement the functions that a radar level sensor has to perform to make your processes not only significantly more efficient and reliable, but above all, simpler. One for everything With VEGAPULS 6X you get a sensor that can handle any application, no matter if the medium to be measured is liquid, solid, hot, cold, hazardous or corrosive. No longer do you need to select the right instrument from a multitude of different options. Just...

Ready for any application We equip VEGAPULS 6X with the optimal measuring frequency for your application. The modular sensor is ready for any challenge – a range of different housings, i.e. plastic, aluminium and stainless steel, as well as a wide selection of process fittings and antenna designs – this means it’s prepared to face any kind of industrial environment. A choice of signal outputs and adjustment concepts contribute to making system integration reliable, simple and compatible across all industries. One sensor for all applications Simple selection and configuration Custom assembly...

ONE CLEVER MIND COMES UP WITH A GOOD IDEA. Ahead of many others, 30 years ago we recognised the great advantages that radar technology offered for level measurement. And we have continued developing it to this day – right up to the VEGAPULS 6X. This instrument is the result of decades of collaboration between numerous dedicated employees. Engineering at the heart of the application Without the people who ask the right questions, apply instruments in unusual places, and recognise what is important to users, VEGAPULS 6X would not exist. When we incorporate a measurement technology into your...

The sum of the best ideas VEGAPULS 6X adds up to the best that’s technically possible today. It’s the result of the application experience we’ve gained from the more than 1 million VEGA radar level sensors in use worldwide. This is what motivates us, because at our company someone is always thinking: “There has to be an even better way to do t

Nobody comes up with perfect things on their own. It takes different perspectives, talents and ideas, as well as openness and attention to detail, to be aware of what the process world expects from us.

All for one Our radar and high frequency technology specialists work with state-of-the-art radar antenna simulation tools. They test the microwave properties of materials, continually optimising mechanical components and sensor design, utilising their in-depth application knowledge. A story of precision First VEGA radar level transmitter series ready for production The world’s first radar sensor in two-wire technology First radar level sensor especially for bulk solids 80-GHz radar sensor for bulk solids measurement The world’s first 80-GHz radar sensor for liquids Maximum simplicity,...

ABSOLUTELY PRECISE. How is reliability actually achieved in processes and systems? When sensors are carefully engineered right from the start and applied correctly. Like VEGAPULS 6X. Process and system reliability No matter whether VEGAPULS 6X is operating under high temperatures or high pressure, in applications with dust, hot steam or extreme noise, it always delivers precise measuring results. This is due to its robust construction – using high-quality materials and encapsulated electronics, to optimally protect against external influences – as well as passing stringent quality tests...

IT security In view of the increasing digitalisation in industry, an extremely important point is effective protection against cyber attacks. That’s why we’ve designed-in the latest IT security standard IEC 62443-4-2 into VEGAPULS 6X. It means that this sensor also meets the highest cyber-security standards currently established in the process industry. AND ABSOLUTELY SECURE. Functional safety (SIL) Equipped with SIL2/3, VEGAPULS 6X meets the strict, internationally standardised safety requirements that serve to protect health, the environment and products during process operations. It...

HOW DO YOU FIND THE BEST CHIP?

The radar chip inside VEGAPULS 6X combines all our application know-how and the experience gained from 30 years of radar level measurement engineering. You won’t find a radar chip like the one in VEGAPULS 6X anywhere – except at VEGA: Because no chip on the market could meet our requirements for use in high-precision level measurements, we simply developed one ourselves. The heart of the sensor If we had to make a list of the most important innovations in VEGAPULS 6X, its radar chip would be right at the top. At the sensor’s heart, is the pulsating technology that empowers it to fulfil our...
