2p-SENSE - Model X1000 Series -Industrial Radar Sensors
The X1000 Series Industrial Radar Sensors by 2π-SENSE offer a unique capability in radar technology designed for industrial applications. These sensors operate within the 126 to 182 GHz D-band frequency range, achieving a sweep bandwidth of 56 GHz and a remarkable -3 dB range resolution of 2.4 mm in air. Utilized in various industrial settings, these sensors support applications such as precise distance sensing, multi-layer thickness analysis, foam density measurement, and non-destructive testing (NDT). The sensors come equipped with IP67-rated protection for harsh environments, dual 1 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, and versatile dielectric lens antennas. Additional options include high stability oscillators for improved accuracy, ruggedized transport cases, and various mounting solutions allowing for flexible integration. The X1000 series positions itself as a solution for high-demand environments where advanced profiling and measurement accuracy are critical, leveraging technologies like FMCW modulation and advanced multi-channel receiver architectures.

Our X1000 series industrial radar devices can be equipped with several additional accessories and options. This gives you as an end-user and integrator the possibility to tailor the device performance specific to your application. Additionally, we provide versatile solutions for high precision ranging in demanding distance sensing applications, multilayer thickness analysis, permittivity or foam density measurement, basis weight measurement or non-destructive testing (NDT).
Industrial Radar Accessories & Options: High Stability Oscillator
Our high stability oscillator option improves the accuracy and long-term stability of the radar technology used in our X1000 series scientific radar sensors. The overall achieved Stratum 3+ clock accuracy is +/-0.3 ppm initially, enabling true single micrometer level measurement accuracy. The provided temperature stability is +/-100 ppb and long-term stability is +/-320 ppb over 5 years.
This is especially useful in demanding ranging applications where the achievable accuracy of the sensor solution matters.
Industrial Radar Lens Antennas
Our X1000 series industrial radar sensors can be equipped with a wide variety of different lens antennas[1]. This allows limitless adaption of the beam characteristics to your specific applications. Besides regular far-field collimated ellpitical lenses with freely customizable opening angle, other options include near-field focus lenses providing lateral spot sizes of a few millimeters. No matter if your application is ranging or non-destructive testing, we have got you covered.
Industrial Radar Mounting Hardware
For maximum flexibility regarding means of mounting of our X1000 series radar sensors to existing equipment, we provide several different mechanical adapters. Options include e.g. a Thorlabs 50mm metric breadboard grid and 60mm cage system adapter or adapters for fruitcore 5-axis roboters.
Ease of mechanical integration gets you started quickly and lets you worry about the more important issues.
Industrial Ruggedized Radar Carry Case
Our X1000 series industrial radar sensors are ruggedized and water-proof and can withstand very harsh environments. Still, in some cases such as a mobile laboratory setting it is beneficial to have a ruggedized protective case allowing you to effortlessly use our sensors in the field and have them protected during ground or air transport.
With this, we provide you with the ability to get your radar sensor safe to where it’s needed and back.
