The microwave barrier VEGA‘MIP’ (Microwave Impulse Point-level) is especially designed for the special needs of the bulk solids industry. As this is a non-contact measurement, VEGAMIP 61 has no direct contact with the medium. This provides reliability for abrasive, aggressive or high temperature applications. In such cases VEGAMIP can measure from the outside through a microwave permeable window, e.g. in ceramic, glass or plastic material. It can also be applied to liquid level detection or object detection, such as truck positioning and on conveyors etc. and operates consistently with dirt, dust or build up. Ranges are up to 100m.

VEGAMIP T61 consists of a transmitter and one or several VEGAMIP R61 receivers for wider areas. The adjustable sensitivity receiver measures the attenuation of the microwave signal and outputs a relay switch. VEGAMIP can be used as a maximum or minimum sensor, switching delays can be set between 0.1 and 20 s.

VEGAMIP 61 is fully integrated into VEGA's plics® modular system. There are a range of plastic, aluminium or stainless steel housings as well as different antenna systems and process fittings, thus allowing configuration of the sensor precisely to specific requirements.
