Distance – movement – area – speed – barrier.
Measuring tasks on mobile machines require robust yet precise technologies for detecting the environment or the objects in it.
Radar sensors from Pulsotronic use FMCW radar technology in the 60 GHz range (continuous wave radar) and fulfill their tasks where conventional systems such as ultrasonic or laser sensors capitulate. Virtually insensitive to environmental influences such as temperature fluctuations or soiling, radar sensors enable distance measurements, distinguish between moving and non-moving objects, detect speeds, locate objects in an area or suppress interfering background information. The sensors detect objects at distances of up to 35m with an accuracy of up to 4cm – and in an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C without any significant signal deviation.
The extremely flat design with a height of only 15 mm enables optimum adaptation to existing external contours without disruptive geometries. Radar sensors work with an integrated antenna. Application-specific adjustments to the measuring range or aperture angle (10-140°) can be set via firmware interfaces. Optional interfaces via CAN, IO-Link or SPE (ex works) round off the universal application profile of the sensors; safety-relevant applications with an IO-Link Safety interface are also planned for the near future.
The sensory performance of the radar sensors predestines them for use on agricultural machinery, industrial trucks, construction machinery or also in the field of current flow monitoring and as a component of fleet management systems.
