Ground speed sensor MKII

Speed measurement for in-door and off-highway vehicles, conveyor belts, material flow Speed Wedge MKII is a speed sensor and active motion detector for moving objects, based on Radar Doppler technology. Speed Wedge MKII deploys a Radar Frontend with planar antennas continously emitting electro­magnetic waves at 24 GHz. Due to the move­ment of the sensor or the object the frequency of the back-scattered waves are doppler shifted. The forward speed of e.g. an indoor transportation vehicle, fork lift, conveyor belt or off-highway vehicle is measured contactless thus unsusceptible to wheel / drive slip, effective tyre circum­ference and sinking in of the tyre. For demanding applications Speed Wedge MKII is sealed and potted in a rugged encasing. Speed Wedge MKII is available as a Series device.
