IMST’s 60 GHz Radar Module sR60-12RLi is designed for high accuracy and high resolution distance measurements for industrial applications. The radar is integrated in a waterproofed housing. The dielectric lens allows a very narrow beam angle for a small measuring field of view. Different lenses can be mounted to adapt the radar to different applications. The module has a very low weight and is particularly cost-effective. This radar is optimized for precise range measurements, direction estimation or collision avoidance. Typical industrial applications are: Automation and positioning of cranes, process control and monitoring, tracking of goods or measurement of spatial parameters.
