Microwave Sensor for Crane Proximity Detection

Range-Finder Type Microwave Sensor for Crane Proximity Detection MICRO-ROBO®
MWS-CAS-3-P

MWS-CAS-3-P

The MWS-CAS-3-P Micro-Robo is a microwave range finder specifically for use on overhead cranes as a crash avoidance sensor. The sensor and reflector are installed face-to-face on adjacent overhead cranes running on the same rails. When one crane enters the preset slowing or stopping distances, the sensor will output a signal for the crane to either slow down or stop.

FEATURES

  • Distance-measurement type, two outputs.
    The distance adjustment is simple because the sensor measures distance and outputs a signal to either slow down or stop the crane.
  • Analog output
    The measured distance is output as an analog current.
  • Unaffected by adverse environments
    Microwaves are generally unaffected by environmental conditions, thus this sensor is unaffected by rain, wind, snow, frost, heavy dust, smoke or vapor.
  • No beam slippage
    Beam adjustment is easy because the beam is conical-shaped and there will be no errors caused by slipping of the beam.
  • No set-to-set interference
    This permits use of multiple Micro-Robos in close proximity to each other.
  • Enclosure rating IP65 equivalent
  • New economical type
