Microwave Sensor for Crane Proximity Detection

Face-To-Face Type Microwave Sensor for Crane Proximity Detection MICRO-ROBO®
MWS-CAS-2A/B PAT.

MWS-CAS-2A/B

The MWS-CAS-2A/B Micro-Robo is a microwave sensor developed specifically for use on overhead cranes as a crash avoidance sensor.
The sensors are installed face-to-face on adjacent overhead cranes running on the same rails. When one crane approaches the detection area of an adjacent crane, its sensor detects the microwaves transmitted by the sensor mounted on the opposite crane and an alarm is generated, thus preventing collision.

Features

  • Simple construction, easy to install
    The transmitter and receiver are combined in one compact and economical unit.
  • 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.
  • Three dimensional detection area
    The sensor has a conical shaped beam pattern, detection occurs when one sensor enters the detecting area of the others. The detecting area can be adjusted by setting the sensitivity.
  • No set-to-set interference
    Four channels are available, selectable by rotary switch. This permits the use of multiple Micro-Robos in close proximity to each other.
  • Power level & sensitivity-set-point indicators
    The received power level and the sensitivity-set-point are indicated on the receiver by an array of 15 LEDs, allowing for easy adjustment and maintenance of the sensors.
  • Enclosure rating IP65 equivalent
