When demanding sensing applications occur in challenging environments such as in the agriculture, construction, and mobile machinery industries, it is important to install robust and reliable sensors suited to the challenges. Sensor specialist BAUMER offer their robust and dependable Off-Highway Radar Sensors which are designed to meetthese challenges.
For example, their R600V sensors deliver quick and precise distance measurement and are tested according to the highest standards required by the Off-Highway sector. Features such as robust housing, optimum lens protection, effective sealing which meets IP69K immersion and CAN SAE J1939 interface, makes these radar sensors especially suited to challenging applications.
For agricultural and construction machinery applications ‘Ground & Crop’ radar sensors provide superior crop penetration and ground detection, while multi-object radar sensors enable individual application solutions, both of which are tested to the highest off-highway industry standards.
These robust sensors are designed to operate in tough environments resisting extreme wind, temperature and humidity conditions and so help to increase machine efficiency and protection against crop damage. Furthermore, the automation of working processes helps operators to reduce costs, for example reducing consumption of materials such as chemicals and liquid fertilizers.
The sensors also help users to achieve faster machine development thanks to their easy integration and proven signal processing from Baumer.
The wide range of options include an automotive-grade design supported by a product qualification according to the highest industrial standards, such as EN ISO 14982, ISO 13766, EN 13309, EN 61000-6-2, EN 61000-6-3 and EN 305550.
The R600V also features 122 GHz design with conformity declarations and certificates for key agricultural machinery applications which helps fast commissioning.
The sensors are suitable for a wide range of applications including combine harvesters, self-propelled forage harvesters, tractors, agricultural sprayers, attachments for soil cultivation & tillage, seeding equipment, autonomous field robots, rubbish trucks, pavers and spraying and cutting machines.
