Designed for outdoor use, this sensor can detect everything around it, even in low-visibility conditions, whether dark, brightly lit, in heavy rain, snow, dense fog, or even dusty.
The RMS1000 is rated IP67 and IP69, meaning it remains permanently sealed, even during high-pressure cleaning. Its robust aluminum housing protects against mechanical damage, and its nickel-plated connectors and M12 connection technology ensure corrosion-proof and vibration-resistant wiring. Impacts and shocks are also unaffected by the sensor's technology, as it has no internal moving parts.
The sensor utilizes state-of-the-art frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar technology in the 61 GHz frequency band and is designed for demanding industrial applications requiring a high degree of sensor adaptability.
Therefore, the RMS1000's primary application is real-time detection, as it allows simultaneous monitoring of up to four freely adjustable zones, radial distance, and object speed at distances ranging from 0.4m to 100m. It also stands out for its easy integration into control systems, since its software is compatible with industry and automotive standard interfaces, such as I/O, Ethernet TCP/IP, and CAN J1939.
The radar sensors maintain their performance across a temperature range of -40°C to +65°C. Furthermore, even under rapid temperature changes, its pressure-compensating diaphragm maintains a stable temperature within the sensor. This ensures consistently reliable detection at all times.
The SICK radar sensor allows for intuitive data parameterization via a web browser application. In this system, the horizontal aperture angle can be configured up to ±60°, depending on whether a wide or narrow area is being monitored. The detected values can be collected as raw data, allowing for subsequent integration into a wide variety of collision detection and protection systems.
Its robust, versatile, and reliable design makes the RMS1000 a true all-rounder. The radar can be used as a driver assistance system for collision warnings on cranes, in mobile automation, or even as a towing assistant for trucks on loading ramps. It can also automatically open doors if it detects people and vehicles in front of them, as well as locate ships in locks or measure water levels without contact.
