R2D radar area sensor: robust detection even in poor visibility
The wide opening angle of 140° is suitable for monitoring large areas. The three-dimensional detection field can be adjusted horizontally and vertically, enabling optimum adaptation to the monitored surroundings. Thanks to the high distance resolution and an angular resolution of 10°, it is possible to detect multiple targets in the detection field with precision and output them as separate target reflections. In addition to the precise position coordinates, the reflected power and speed of each object are determined.
The “3D Distance” version of the R2D provides the x, y, z coordinates (point cloud), while the “3D Area” version outputs the tracked targets, with the individual points clustered into objects.
R2D 3D Distance
Product benefits
- Output of distance, position (x, y, z) and speed of the target reflection (via IO-Link and CAN)
- Precise depiction of the surroundings thanks to dense point cloud
- Freely adjustable 3D detection field (horizontal and vertical)
- Intelligent target selection by distance, signal strength or RCS (radar cross-section)
- Built-in filters that enable reliable area monitoring
- 2 switching outputs, IO-Link, analogue (4-20 mA / 0-10 V), CAN
Applications
Monitoring of belt-loaders docking with aircraft
Radar sensors detect the parked plane as the belt-loader approaches. They signal the vehicle to slow down when the belt-loader enters a danger zone and stop it at a predetermined distance.
Load sway detection on cranes
Load sway detection in the longitudinal and transverse directions enables active compensation.
R2D 3D Area
Product benefits
- Adjustable detection field
- Filtered object detection
- Output of position data and target object speed
- 8 freely definable zones, 2 configurable masking zones
- Output of the direction of movement and adjustable early warning time
- Intelligent algorithm that can distinguish between moving and static targets, even if the sensor is also moving.
- 2 switching outputs, IO-Link or CAN J1939
Applications
Monitoring of surroundings and collision avoidance
Early detection of obstacles in the surroundings of a moving vehicle and assistance to the driver in monitoring poorly visible areas
Smart access control
Automatic opening and closing of gates and barriers with cross traffic masking
R2D product versions
Thanks to the wide range of interfaces and vibration tests, the sensor is suited for industrial applications such as monitoring industrial gates and barriers, as well as for obstacle detection and collision avoidance on mobile machines.
When using the CAN version of the sensor, you can select the Distance or Area function in the software. The CAN-J1939 message can be easily adjusted via the Vision Assistant. In contrast to the IO-Link version, which only offers one monitoring zone, up to four monitoring zones (ROIs) can be set up with the CAN version.
