OndoSense reach radar sensor.

Precise distance radar sensor with wide range – outdoor-proof.

Our small radar sensor for object detection, distance measurement and position control offers reliable, precise measurements with a wide range. OndoSense reach is not only the most compact radar-based distance sensor: Its narrow opening angle of only ±3° ensures focused, interference-free measurements and enables a tiny measuring spot. With a measurement frequency of up to 100 Hz, the distance radar sensor enables a seamless acquisition of measured values, even in demanding applications. Thanks to our robust radar technology, the OndoSense reach distance radar sensor is suitable for indoor and outdoor applications in agriculture, mining, transport and logistics, shipping and other industrial environments.

The unique performance, user-friendliness and reliability of our small radar sensor for distance measurement are based on in-depth industrial experience and many years of radar expertise of the OndoSense founders and former Fraunhofer associates. Benefit from our industrial radar sensor technology for distance measurement, positioning and collision avoidance, which combines high measurement precision with excellent reliability!

Precise & small radar sensor – and other advantages!

Our reliable radar sensor offers a wide measuring range, a narrow opening angle – and much more.

  • Small radar sensor

    OndoSense reach is the most compact radar sensor for distance measurements. It fits into the smallest spaces and measures very short distances.

  • Widest measuring range

    Our compact radar sensor for distance measurement, object detection and positioning offers a wide measuring range from 0.3 m to 40 m.

  • High precision

    With the OndoSense reach radar sensor for distance measuring and positioning you can count on a high measurement precision of ±1 mm.

  • Narrow opening angle

    Featuring an opening angle of only ±3°, which is very narrow for radar, our small radar sensor enables focused and reliable distance measurements with minimal interference.

  • 100 Hz measuring rate

    For some applications, the measuring or output rate can be decisive: With the OndoSense reach distance radar sensor, you will benefit from a measurement speed of up to 100 Hz.

  • Robust radar technology

    Profit from our robust radar sensor for object detection and distance measurement and obtain reliable measurement results even in dust, fog, rain, smoke or adverse light.
