Radar Sensors, K50R Series

Published on : Wednesday 10-07-2024

K50R Series Radar Sensors for reliable, cost-efficient sensing in challenging environments.

Radar sensors from Banner Engineering 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.

The K50R series of radar sensors provides a robust, cost-efficient solution for both short- and long-range detection applications, particularly in challenging environments.

Features:

• Cost-efficient alternative to long-range ultrasonic sensors
• 40 x 30 degree models deliver more robust detection and measurement in limited space
• 80 x 60 degree models offer broader coverage than ultrasonics over a larger area
• 50 mm to 5 m measurement range and high excess gain provide accurate measurements and reliable sensing
• Superior and consistent operation in any environment
• Radar technology ignores effects of ambient weather or light conditions, including steam, dust, and particulates
• IP67 rating and -40°C  to 60°C operating temperature allow use in wide range of environments, including outdoors
• Simple integration and streamlined troubleshooting, and
• Banner Measurement Sensor software simplifies device configuration.

K50R Pro has programmable LED indication for visually communicating detailed information

Dual discrete and analog output options allow easy control system integration

Base and flush mount housings satisfy different installation needs
