Leuze LBK radar safety system

The Leuze LBK radar system responds to movements and generates a switching signal as soon as a person enters or exits the monitored area. The 3D safety system monitors danger zones, even in the event of sparks, dirt and dust.

The radar technology can differentiate between people and static objects and can detect stationary persons located in the protected area. Static objects, such as pallets or material containers, can be left in the protected area without problem. They do not result in a system interruption.

The safety radar system is primarily used in restart protection and for monitoring hidden areas. However, it can be adapted to individual requirements with the number and position of the sensors, the adjustable operating range and the selectable opening angle.

The system uses its FMCW technology to monitor areas on steps or pedestals and behind non-metallic shadowing. To safeguard larger areas, up to six radar sensors can be connected together via a controller. In this way, the system offers a maximum monitoring area of 15 x 4 m.

The individual sensors can be connected to form groups. If necessary, these groups can be switched off, thereby allowing the system to adapt to dynamic processes. The safety radar system also enables users to use the easy-to-operate configuration software to define the system parameters.
