A radar-based protective sensor for danger-zone and rear-access monitoring in environments too harsh for optical sensors — unaffected by dust, dirt, rain, welding sparks, or vibration.
This radar sensor combines radar detection with safe control technology to monitor protection zones in rugged industrial environments where optical sensors struggle. Because radar is insensitive to dust, dirt, rain, bright light, and vibration, it holds up in heavy-industry conditions such as welding, swarf, and continuous vibration. Paired with a configurable small safety controller, it forms a complete zone-monitoring solution, with an evaluation device enabling FSoE (FailSafe over EtherCAT) functionality in accordance with IEC 61508 for safety applications up to SIL 3.
Detection Range
0–5 m (long-range variant: 0–9 m)
Safety Rating
Up to SIL 3 (IEC 61508, via FSoE evaluation device)
Compatible Controller
Configurable small safety controller
Environmental Resistance
Insensitive to dust, dirt, rain, light, vibration, welding sparks, swarf
Safeguards danger zones and rear-access points where a sensor needs to keep working despite dirt, dust, or vibration.
Built for conditions where welding sparks, swarf, bright light, and vibration would compromise an optical sensor.
Deployed to monitor the working envelope around industrial robot cells as part of a complete safety solution.
Yes. It is deployed as part of a complete safety solution, for example around robot cells, alongside fixed guarding and other devices such as light curtains, laser scanners and emergency stops. The right combination is decided by the risk assessment.
No. The rating describes what the sensor and its evaluation device can support. The level achieved by a complete safety function also depends on the other devices, the controller and the way everything is built and wired. Prazamana's SISTEMA analysis models the safety function and documents the result against what your risk assessment requires.
Radar suits harsh environments with dust, dirt, welding sparks, swarf, bright light or vibration. Optical devices such as light curtains and laser scanners are chosen for other needs, for example hand protection or dynamic protective fields on AGVs. The choice depends on the hazard, the environment and the risk assessment, and the Prazamana team can advise.
