Radar sensor measures distance, position and speed, even in poor visibility.
Reliable detection in harsh environments
Whether in rain, snow, strong wind, dust or extreme temperatures: the radar sensor detects objects accurately and reliably under all these conditions. This is ensured both by the robust radar technology and by the various operating modes with which the sensor can be adjusted precisely to the respective application, as well as the high resistance to shocks and vibrations.
What advantages does the radar sensor offer?
Reliable detection, even in poor visibility
Ideal for demanding environments and outdoor applications, owing to weather-independent detection and a wide temperature range
Various operating modes allow long ranges or a precise resolution in the millimetre range
Intuitive configuration as well as clear visualisation of the measured data on the IT level using the ifm Vision Assistant or ifm moneo
Two different frequency ranges allow use in many parts of the world
Applications for radar distance sensors
Conveyor monitoring
Non-contact, simultaneous detection of the loading height and speed of a conveyor belt
Vehicle positioning
Detection of vehicles in car washes or during docking operations at loading and unloading ramps
Distance control and height measurement
Reliable detection of distances from the ground or plants even in dusty environments
Monitoring of surroundings and collision avoidance
Early detection of obstacles in the surroundings of a moving vehicle and assistance to the driver in monitoring poorly visible areas
Smart access control
Automatic opening and closing of gates and barriers with cross traffic masking
System connection
Added value thanks to IO-Link
- Output of multiple measured values
Simultaneous, non-contact detection of object distance, speed and movement direction - Plug & work
Intuitive set-up and continuous output of measured data - Improvement of system availability
Condition monitoring of the sensor orientation thanks to the output of inclination values.
The data storage function additionally allows quick and smooth device replacement without new parameter setting.
