Radar sensors
Precision and reliability thanks to modern radar technology
Precise measurement results with radar sensors
Radar sensors stand for precision, speed, and reliability – even in demanding environments. They deliver stable measurement results regardless of light, dirt, moisture, or temperature fluctuations, making them ideal for challenging industrial applications. With their high measurement frequency, long range, and precise resolution, radar sensors enable measurement tasks that are often not feasible with other technologies.
Our portfolio of radar sensors
Long range and high resolution
Radar sensors detect objects even across several meters – without compromising accuracy. Even the smallest details remain detectable, even when large distances need to be bridged.
Extremely fast response times
With measurement frequencies of up to 1000 Hz and response times in the millisecond range, radar sensors are significantly faster than many other sensor types. This ensures reliable detection in highly dynamic processes.
Robust against environmental conditions
Dust, fog, steam, air currents, or contamination do not impair their function. Radar sensors operate independently of daylight, ambient light, or difficult surfaces – even transparent, shiny, or hot objects are reliably detected.
Reliable where optical sensors reach their limits
Optical sensors are sensitive to contamination, ambient light, and surface properties. Radar sensors, on the other hand, operate consistently – whether in darkness, bright sunlight, dust, or with transparent materials. They are the robust alternative when optical solutions are not sufficient.
Faster and more stable than ultrasonic
Ultrasonic sensors provide good results in many applications, but react comparatively slowly and are susceptible to interference from moisture or air currents. Radar sensors offer measurement frequencies of up to 1000 Hz, work interference-free side by side, and deliver precise results even under difficult conditions.
Increased process reliability through signal quality
Radar sensors not only output measurement results but also information on signal quality. Users can immediately assess how reliable a signal is – a decisive advantage in critical applications.
