Radar Sensors

Banner Engineering radar sensors use radar to reliably detect moving or stationary targets, including cars, trains, trucks and cargo, in extreme weather conditions. Radar-based sensors are also ideal for collision avoidance on board mobile equipment such as reach stackers, forklifts and mining vehicles, or port machineries such as carriers, handlers and shippers.

T30R Radar Sensor

The T30R is a long-range sensor that detects the widest range of objects in extreme applications. This sensor offers reliable detection and position feedback on high-dielectric targets, such as metal or water, and lower-dielectric materials, such as wood, rock or organic material. The T30R is unaffected by rain, wind, snow, fog, steam and sunlight, with an operating temperature of -40 to 65° C.
  • Radar Configuration Software, IO-Link, remote teach input, and push buttons for flexible set-up and configuration
  • Compact, IP67-rated housing for use in challenging environments
  • Pulse Pro output for direct integration with Banner lights
  • Direct process feedback which only requires power, no controller needed
  • Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) for detection of stationary and moving targets
  • Crosstalk immunity, allowing for multiple sensors to be mounted in close proximity
  • Up to 15m range to detect targets from farther away while maintaining detection as close as 150mm
  • Available in 15×15 degree and 45×45 degree beam patterns to solve a wide variety of applications

Q130R Radar Sensors with Graphical User Interface

Q130R radar sensors offer a graphical user interface for precise control and visibility into sensor settings and provide reliable detection of moving and stationary targets in harsh outdoor conditions and at a lower lifetime cost than competing technologies. The GUI makes the sensor easy to set up and provides precise control of sensor settings. Models are available with 90° x 76° or 24° x 50° beam patterns to meet the requirements of a variety of vehicle detection and collision avoidance applications.

Q130R radar sensors are an ideal solution for a wide variety of vehicle detection and collision avoidance applications, including:
  • Vehicle detection for cars, trucks, cranes, trains, airplanes and cargo
  • Single-zone collision avoidance for mobile equipment including mining vehicles, forklifts, stackers and cranes
  • Loading dock monitoring and vehicle counting
  • Parking, entry/exit and drive-through vehicle detection

Benefits:

  • Greater control and visibility
  • Dependable in harsh environments
  • Reliable and cost effective
  • High performance at close ranges

Q240R radar sensors reliably detect objects within a narrow beam pattern from up to 100 meters away in all weather conditions and are available in discrete and analog models. FMCW (true-presence) radar detects moving and stationary objects, and the narrow beam pattern reliably detects distant targets up to 100 (328 ft) meters away without detecting adjacent objects. Dual discrete output models can be used to create two independent, adjustable sensing zones. Analog output models are capable of providing location information and can be used to track objects.

This high-sensitivity radar sensor is ideal for collision avoidance on mobile equipment like reach stackers, forklifts and mining vehicles. Fourth generation FMCW (true-presence) radar detects moving and stationary objects with higher sensitivity and longer range. The adjustable sensing field ignores objects beyond the setpoint. Sensing functions are unaffected by wind, falling rain or snow, fog, humidity, air temperatures or light. The rugged IP67 housing withstands harsh environments.

Q120R sensors feature a narrow beam and high sensitivity for detecting moving or stationary targets, unaffected by ambient weather. Single sensing zone models have a 12 m range, and dual sensing zone models have a 40 m range. The Q120R Series includes easy setup and configuration of range, sensitivity and output with simple DIP switches. The sensor operates in industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) telecommunication band with no special license required.
