Abstract
An apparatus for monitoring an apparatus for the inductive heating of a metal material, including a detection device and an evaluation device. In order to automate the loading of the inductive heating apparatus with bulk material or metal material, according to the invention the detection device is an optical sensor for detecting distance and the evaluation device is designed to determine, on the basis of the distance detected by the detection device, the fill level of the inductive heating apparatus and to output a corresponding signal, the signal being suitable for further use in a control process for the feeding of metal material to the inductive heating apparatus. The invention also relates to a method for automatically loading an apparatus for the inductive heating of a metal material and to a control system for an apparatus for the inductive heating of a metal material.
