Radar sensors target industrial automation
Banner Engineering's Q90R and Q90R2 high-power multi-purpose radar sensors are now being shipped by authorised distributor Mouser Electronics.
The Q90R radar sensors enable intelligent object detection for industrial automation and sensing applications.
These radar sensors enable intelligent and reliable object detection with robust design and intuitive interfaces to deliver versatile performance in demanding sensing applications, including vehicle detection at loading docks and forklift speed control and collision awareness.
These are industrial radar sensors that use high-frequency radio waves from an internal antenna to detect and measure the distance to objects in its field of view for a wide variety of materials, including metal, liquids, or organic materials.
The Q90R and Q90R2 models offer a vertical and horizontal field of view (FoV) based on distance, radial position, and speed thresholds across a 0.15m to 20.0m sensing range.
The Q90R2 models, specifically, provide two independent detection zones for measuring multiple targets at a time, with the ability to detect in multiple dimensions: distance from the sensor, angle from the face of the sensor, plus speed and amplitude.
This provides additional information on the position of targets, more precision and control, and greater customization abilities.
The supplied Simple Banner Measurement Sensor Software interface and Pulse Pro provide simple integration and streamlined troubleshooting. The Q90R and Q90R2's broad field of view and robust signal strength offer flexible mounting options in various orientations to accommodate customer requirements.
