Nuicon

Industrial Radar Sensors for Collision Avoidance & Outdoor Use

Rain, fog, and dust blind standard sensors. Nuicon Industrial Radar Sensors see right through them. Using robust microwave technology (FMCW), they deliver reliable distance measurement in the harshest outdoor environments. Whether preventing crane collisions at a port or monitoring levels in a dusty cement silo, our radar sensors ensure safety where optical sensors fail.

Why Choose Nuicon?

Outdoor Experts

We specify the right frequency (24GHz vs 77GHz) for your specific weather conditions.

Hidden Mounting

We can help you install sensors inside bumpers or behind covers for protection.

Heavy Duty

Designed for vibration and shock resistance in mining and transport.

Fast Setup

Simple configuration via DIP switches or PC software.

Key Features

  • Weather Immune: Unlike lasers or ultrasonics, radar waves are unaffected by rain, snow, heavy fog, or direct sunlight.
  • Penetrates Materials: Radar can measure through plastic and glass, allowing you to mount the sensor behind a protective cover or tank wall.
  • Long Range Protection: Detects large objects (like cranes or trucks) at distances up to 30+ meters for early warning collision avoidance.
  • Dust Proof: Ideal for cement and grain industries where heavy dust clouds block optical lenses instantly.

Technical Specifications

  • Technology: FMCW Radar (24 GHz / 60 GHz / 77 GHz)
  • Range: 0.5 m … 35 m (Model dependent)
  • Output: Relay / Analog (4-20mA) / CAN bus
  • Protection: IP67 / IP69K (Outdoor Rated)
  • Temp Range: -40°C … +85°C
  • Housing: Robust Industrial Plastic

Real-World Applications

  • Crane Anti-Collision: Prevents overhead cranes from crashing into walls or other cranes in steel mills and ports.
  • Silo Level: Monitoring fill levels of sand, grain, or cement powder where dust clouds make ultrasonics useless.
  • Heavy Machinery: Rear-view detection for mining trucks and forklifts operating in blind spots.
  • Outdoor Perimeter: Detecting vehicles or intruders at gates regardless of weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

No. Radar waves pass through rain and snow without interference, making them the standard for outdoor safety.

It can see through thin non-conductive materials like plastic, glass, or drywall. It cannot see through metal.

Yes, industrial radar emits very low power (much less than a mobile phone) and is completely safe.
