Distance Measurement and Collision-Avoidance

LPR-1 DXi Reliable distance sensor and controller, 

• Contact-less measurement via radio waves
• Unaffected by contamination, weather and vibration
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
• No precise alignment necessary
• Easy to install and configure
• Redundant system set-up for safety relevant applications
• No additional operating or maintenance costs

• To avoid collisions or to automate a processes, LPR-1DXi sensors measure the distance between two devices by means of radio signals. All components are integrated in one casing. The compact units can therefore be mounted very easily and operate maintenance-free, even under harsh conditions. Dust, fog or similar impacts do not influence the system. LPR can optionally acquire the relative speed between two units. Varying switch-off points can be applied based on this information. With the free software Symeo-Wizard (via Windows PC) the distances for 5 adjustable switching points are determined and transferred to the LPR-1DXi device. Upon reaching a switching threshold, on-board relays open dry contacts. Distance readings and relays are available on both of the paired units. Remote units can be configured via the built-in radio interface. Simultaneous, interference-free operation of a radio data network (WiFi) is possible.
