TSI Solutions: Your Automation, Motion Control, and Safety Specialists.

• Banner recently announced the release of it first radar sensors. The R-GAGE QT50R family was originally developed to detect trains in a 20 km tunnel in Europe . When accidents occur in the tunnel, the radar sensor detects where the train is located in order to activate the appropriate sprinkler systems.

Radar is an effective, all-weather sensing technology that can be used in the following applications:
• Gate Control
• Vehicle Counting in Parking Areas
• Truck Detecting at Loading Docks
• Shipping Container Monitoring

• FMCW (true-presence) radar detects moving and stationary objects
• Adjustable sensing field — ignores objects beyond the setpoint
• Sensing field is configured with simple DIP switches
• Sensing functions are unaffected by wind and air temperatures
• Sensor operates in Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) telecommunication band; no special license required
• Rugged IP67 housing withstands harsh environments

• One Connector for Two Cylinder Position Sensors
TURCK has just released a twin-set sensor that is comprised of two sensing heads connected by an over-molded cable. It is especially useful for detecting the extended and retracted position of a cylinder's piston. The power and signal wires are combined into an integral M12 connector on the sensor, so you only have to use one 4-wire cordset to connect the sensor to your PLC. For more information click here.
