1. CNC Coolant Level Monitoring in Metalworking
Monitors coolant reservoir levels in CNC machining centers where emulsified cooling lubricants create foam, spray, and sticky residues.
Problem SolvedStandard level switches or ultrasonic sensors yield erratic readings due to heavy foam build-up. The LFP Cubic's TDR guided wave radar offers full foam immunity and reliable dual continuous-and-point-level outputs to prevent machine tools from running dry.

2. Industrial Hydraulic Power Unit Reservoir Control
Continuous telemetry of hydraulic fluid level and low-level limit alarms inside hydraulic oil reservoirs of heavy equipment.
Problem SolvedEnsures the system operates safely under varying pressures (-1 to 10 bar) and fluid temperatures up to 100 °C. The sensor provides continuous high-resolution analog level data and a safety-critical digital output that warns of air ingestion risks before damage occurs.

3. Chemical Mixing and Batch Tank Telemetry
Continuous measurement of aqueous solutions, chemicals, or cleaning fluids in buffer vessels where liquid types change periodically.
Problem SolvedCapacitive and hydrostatic sensors require recalibration whenever the fluid's dielectric constant or density changes. The LFP Cubic relies strictly on microwave propagation time-of-flight, maintaining ±5 mm measurement accuracy without recalibration for any fluid with a dielectric constant ≥ 5.
