Skid detection in automobile production

Challenge:

In the automotive car production, overhead skids are transferring parts and chassis through the production area. Today's used inductive sensors deliver too short switching ranges, so the skids can crash with the sensors, causing downtime.

Solution:

A radar sensor in an M30 housing operating at 122 GHz delivers higher switching ranges with high reliability and robustness.

Advantages:

• Crashes between skid and sensor can be avoided
• Downtimes are reduced, and process stability increases
