In injection molding and die casting plants, reliable material tank level control is essential for stable production, accurate dosing, and safe operation. A magnetostrictive level gauge offers continuous, high-precision measurement by detecting the magnetic float position along a waveguide. The sensor converts this position into a stable 4-20 mA, HART, or digital signal for PLC and SCADA systems.

In injection molding, the gauge can monitor hydraulic oil, cooling water, mold-temperature control tanks, and additive or release-agent tanks. It helps maintain correct fluid volumes, reduces overflow risk, and supports preventive maintenance. In die casting, it is applied to compatible auxiliary tanks and, with proper protective housings, to high-temperature material supply systems. The non-contact magnetic sensing element is isolated from dust, grease, and vibration, making it suitable for harsh shop floors.

Key field benefits include high resolution, repeatability, low maintenance, easy installation, and resistance to foaming and turbulence when a stilling well is used. Stainless steel wetted parts and IP-rated housings improve durability. Users should select the float, material, temperature rating, and output to match each tank. With correct configuration, magnetostrictive level gauges improve material management, reduce downtime, and support smart factory monitoring in injection molding and die casting operations. Routine calibration and float inspection help ensure long-term accuracy.
