Radar Sensors
Radar sensors use Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar to reliably detect moving or stationary targets.
Lower frequency radars can see high dielectric objects very well including cars, trains, trucks, and cargo even in extreme weather conditions. Higher frequency radar can see a wider array of objects and will be more robust than an ultrasonic sensor in most applications, including outdoors. Radar-based sensors are also ideal for collision avoidance on board mobile equipment such as reach stackers, forklifts, and mining vehicles or port machinery such as carriers, handlers, and shippers.
10 Things You Should Know About Radar
The Reliable, Environment-Resistant, All-Around Automation Sensing Solution. Radar works in extreme temperatures, precipitation, dirt, dust, and low light. Radar doesn’t care about surface color or finish, plastic or, glass, even if the material is opaque or dirty. Download the Ten Things You Should Know by clicking on the button below.
