Robust and reliable radar sensor for collision avoidance
Advanced radar technology enables reliable object detection under harsh environmental conditions. Frequency modulated continuous wave radar technology combined with doppler effect enables the sensor to detect distance, position, speed, and the direction of movements of multiple objects.
The robustness of radar technology, the wide range of operating temperature, and the high protection rating makes them perfect for outdoor applications.

Applications
Detects obstacles around the moving mobile equipment before a collision happens.
Displays the process values of the nearest obstacles and alerts the driver in real time.
Supports the drivers in monitoring blind spots.
Ignores fog, steam, and smoke that "blinds" most vision-based technology.
Detects vehicle in a car wash reliably before automatic washing starts.
Simultaneously detects belt speed and conveyor load height without contact.
Users can calculate volume of the loads with this information.
Detects the ground and measures the height of crops reliably.
Impervious to dust that is challenging for vision-based technology and wind that adversely affects ultrasonic technology.
Collision avoidance in airports -- Belt-loader use case
Millions of people fly each day and airports must be efficient and safe. A reliable collision avoidance system ensure safe operation during loading and unloading of cargo.
Radar sensors detect the parked airplane as the belt-loader approaches. It signals the machine to slow down when it enters a danger zone and stops the machine at a predetermined distance.
The operator then has control, using other sensing technologies, to move the belt-loader the final few inches and land the belt safely in the cargo.
System overview
The radar sensors can be connected in an architecture using ioControl I/O modules or IO-Link masters as desired.
