Banner Engineering K50R R-GAGE® Radar Sensors
Banner Engineering K50R R-GAGE® Radar Sensors are a robust, cost-efficient solution for superior and consistent operation in indoor and outdoor environments. The K50R is an industrial radar sensor that uses high-frequency radio waves from an internal antenna. The K50R detects a wide variety of materials, including metal, water, or organic materials. The sensors feature 40° x 30° models to closely match ultrasonic performance and 80° x 60° models to detect targets with a broader coverage. The K50R series offers simple integration via Banner Measurement Sensor software and streamlined troubleshooting. The sensors have dual discrete and analog output options, and there are base and flush-mount housing accessories to satisfy different installation requirements. Banner Engineering K50R R-GAGE Radar Sensors are ideal for automated guided vehicles (AGV), tank level management, and vehicle detection at electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and public ramps.
