In future, Pilz radar sen\u00adsors will even be able to detect people or objects in defined zones. This tech\u00adnology will expand the cur\u00adrent range of appli\u00adca\u00adtions: Pilz\u2019s safe radar sen\u00adsors cur\u00adrently pro\u00advide non-con\u00adtact pro\u00adtec\u00adtion. As pro\u00adtec\u00adtive devices, they are the pre\u00adferred choice for area guarding. Par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlarly when people require fre\u00adquent access to the danger zone. That\u2019s because this sensor type, unlike other sen\u00adsors, can mon\u00aditor vol\u00adumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radar sys\u00adtems operate with elec\u00adtro\u00admag\u00adnetic waves in the two-digit giga\u00adhertz range and there\u00adfore react to move\u00adments \u2013 in other words it\u2019s a very spe\u00adcial type of sensor. The gen\u00aderal rule of thumb for using a safe radar system in automa\u00adtion is this: radar tech\u00adnology is the right choice wher\u00adever opto\u00adelec\u00adtronic sen\u00adsors reach their envi\u00adron\u00admental limits. Com\u00adpared with opto\u00adelec\u00adtronic sensor tech\u00adnolo\u00adgies, a radar sensor is not only well able to tol\u00aderate rugged envi\u00adron\u00adments con\u00adt\u00ada\u00adm\u00adi\u00adnated with dirt and dust, but is also an ideal pro\u00adtec\u00adtive mea\u00adsure in envi\u00adron\u00adments with extreme tem\u00adper\u00ada\u00adture fluc\u00adtu\u00ada\u00adtions and weather con\u00addi\u00adtions. Envi\u00adron\u00admental con\u00addi\u00adtions such as rain or bad light, as well as flying sparks or vibra\u00adtion, present no problem to radar sys\u00adtems. Radar tech\u00adnology also scores highly when it is nec\u00ades\u00adsary to go beyond area mon\u00adi\u00adtoring and objects are to be detected in a three-dimen\u00adsional space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
