Banner Engineering has expanded its line of R-GAGE QT50R radar sensors with four new models designed to meet a range of application requirements and weather conditions. They are ideal for collision avoidance on mobile equipment, outdoor crane-to-crane proximity detection, high volume parking, vehicle detection and flatbed or box truck detection at loading docks.
Operating with frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar, they provide accurate object detection of stationary and moving targets by providing distance and speed measurement. The sensors function in the industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) telecommunication band, with no special licence required. For enhanced protection, they have a rugged, IP67-rated housing to withstand harsh environments.
“The introduction of the new R-GAGE QT50R radar sensors significantly expands our ability to accommodate the diverse detection requirements of our customers,” said Jeff Curtis, business development manager, Banner Engineering. “With single and dual independent sensing zones, sensing ranges up to 24 metres and easy, versatile installation options, they provide flexible performance in virtually any outdoor weather condition.”
The expanded R-GAGE QT50 line comprises:
R-GAGE QT50R-AFH adjustable field, high sensitivity.
Higher sensitivity, longer range and an adjustable sensing field to ignore objects beyond the setpoint ensure reliable collision avoidance onboard mobile equipment such as reach stackers, forklifts and mining vehicles.
A narrow beam pattern and two independent, adjustable sensing zones enable accurate detection for collision avoidance and outdoor crane-to-crane proximity.
R-GAGE QT50R-AFS adjustable field, short range.
High sensitivity, short range and an adjustable sensing field to ignore objects beyond the setpoint provide reliable detection for high volume car parking and other vehicle detection applications.
