Radar sensors
Radar sensors use electromagnetic waves to detect presence and measure distance; some models also measure relative speed. Applications include detecting vehicles, rail wagons and mobile machinery, positioning equipment and monitoring access areas. Suitable models operate in dusty locations, changing light and outdoor weather within their specified limits. Target detection depends on material, size and orientation, rather than metal content alone. Selection considers range, beam angle, minimum distance, unwanted reflections and the required switching output or communication interface.

IN PRACTICE
Typical applications
Loading docks
Confirming truck presence at the loading dock.
Railway applications
Detecting the presence of trains or railcars in the monitored zone.
Mobile machinery
Detecting obstacles and measuring the distance to them.
Movement monitoring
Measuring distance, speed and direction of movement, depending on the sensor model.
