New OndoSense radar sensor for collision avoidance & positioning detects objects even at close range

FREIBURG, Germany - June 27, 2024 - PRLog -- OndoSense is expanding its sensor portfolio: The expert for high-performance radar technology has developed a compact radar sensor for collision avoidance, object detection & positioning. With its wide detection range, the OndoSense reach WA (Wide Angle) is particularly suited for detecting obstacles such as vehicles, people or objects as well as for positioning robots and machines. It detects static and moving objects even at close range from 0.1 meters and can be integrated even in confined spaces, thanks to its small design. With up to 4 sensor zones, the sensor is ideal for flexible monitoring of security areas or collision avoidance of mobile robots or other vehicles. Thanks to innovative radar technology, the radar sensor always reliably detects objects of any nature, even outdoors or in difficult environments with dirt, smoke, steam, rain or poor lighting conditions. And as a result of its high measuring rate of 200 Hz, it reliably detects obstacles even with fast movements. The OndoSense reach WA is suitable for collision avoidance, vehicle detection, object positioning and limit level control in various industries.

Optimal object detection in close range from 0.1 meters

The OndoSense reach WA detects obstacles such as vehicles, people, walls and other static or moving objects from 0.1 meters to at least 25 meters. "Our sensor offers the smallest blind zone on the market for anti-collision radars. This makes the OndoSense reach WA ideal for applications in which objects in close range must be reliably detected. This includes the detection or positioning of cars in the car wash, the prevention of collisions between aircraft and ground support equipment at the airport or the positioning of drilling machines or washing robots on walls or in tunnels. Our radar thus enables safe operation without costly unplanned downtimes," explains Rainer Waltersbacher, Co-CEO of OndoSense.

4 adjustable sensor zones – for flexible monitoring of safety areas

In addition, the OndoSense reach WA offers up to 4 sensor zones, which can be easily adjusted independently of one another via 3 switching points in the configuration software. The radar sensor thus offers flexible, reliable monitoring of the safety areas of machines and robots as well as safe collision avoidance of automated guided vehicles in ports or intralogistics.
