The T30R radar sensors are a longer-range alternative to ultrasonic sensors.
These new best-in-class all-around radar sensors provide more reliable detection and position feedback in extreme outdoor conditions and other challenging environments.
The T30R also features a flexible setup and configuration with a variety of options, and compared to traditional 24 GHz radar sensors, the T30R radar sensor gives you:
- a shorter dead zone.
- better accuracy.
- the ability to see a wider range of targets.
- Reliable detection of both high-dielectric targets like metal or water and lower-dielectric materials like wood, rock, organic material
Unaffected by rain, wind, snow, fog, steam, sunlight, and 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 target
- Crosstalk immunity, allowing for multiple sensors to be mounted in close proximity
- Up to 15 m range to detect targets from farther away while maintaining detection as close as 150 mm with linearity less than +/-1 cm
The T30R offers more robust detection capabilities and longer range than ultrasonic solutions in a similar package size without the risk of crosstalk from multiple sensors mounted close together. The compact radar sensor has an IP67-rated housing for use in challenging environments. It is resistant to ambient weather such as sunlight, wind, rain, and snow that can be problematic. Radar waves are not affected by ambient temperature changes, providing consistent measurement from -40 to 65 C (-40 F to +149 F). The 15 m range and excellent performance in harsh environments make the T30R ideal for outdoor detection at loading docks, tolls, gates, and car washes.
Like other Banner radar sensors, the T30R features Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) for detection of both stationary and moving targets. However, the T30R has much more precise detection of a wider variety of materials than traditional 24 GHz radar.
T30R can detect objects as close as 150 mm and can measure with linearity and repeatability less than +/-1 cm. The T30R can reliably detect high-dielectric targets, like metal or large amounts of water, as well as challenging lower-dielectric materials, such as wood, rock, or organic material.
The T30R radar sensors can be programmed using the free and intuitive configuration software, remote teach input, pushbuttons, or IO-Link for flexible setup and configuration. Dual discrete outputs are available for slow and stop positions and analog and IO-Link options are available for absolute distance measurement.
The T30R also features Banner’s Pulse Pro output that can connect directly to a variety of Banner lights to provide direct process feedback to the operator by illuminating a light green to yellow to red, or any custom configuration. Pulse Pro only requires power, and no separate controller is needed.
