Radar sensors support intelligent object detection for industrial automation

Mouser now supplies Banner Engineering's Q90R and Q90R2 high-power multi-purpose radar sensors. The Q90R radar sensors allow intelligent object detection for industrial automation and sensing applications.

These radar sensors allow intelligent and reliable object detection. Their robust design and intuitive interfaces provide versatile performance in demanding sensing applications, including vehicle detection at loading docks, forklift speed control, and collision awareness.

The devices are industrial radar sensors that employ high-frequency radio waves from an internal antenna to detect and measure the distance to objects in its field of view for various materials, including metal, liquids, or organic materials. The models provide a vertical and horizontal FoV based on distance, radial position, and speed thresholds across a 0.15m to 20m sensing range.

The Q90R2 models, particularly, 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 supplies further information on the position of targets, more precision and control, and greater customisation abilities. The supplied Simple Banner Measurement Sensor Software interface and Pulse Pro supply simple integration and streamlined troubleshooting. The devices' broad FoV and robust signal strength deliver flexible mounting options in various orientations to accommodate customer needs.
