Machinery Warning Radar Systems

Detect obstacles and solid objects using radar and trigger a visible and audible warning to the operator, to improve safety in your machinery operation.

Radar is one of many detection systems we can advise on here at Shockwatch NZ.  It will detect all objects – solid inanimate items such as pallets and walls, as well as human forms, so there are pros and cons compared with our other pedestrian detection systems. 

Talk to us and we can help you evaluate the options and select the best solution to suit your machinery, freight or materials handling operation.

VTODSL – 4m Radar Obstacle Detection System
4m range, 3 stage notification
Detect objects behind moving machines and vehicles using radar obstacle detection.  This unit has a 4 m range and is able to precisely calculate the distance and direction of obstacles.  As distances to the object are reduced an alarm will sound, depending if the system is armed or not (i.e. in reverse gear).  As distance increases the alarm will stop (reducing false alarm triggers).

VTODSM – 8m Radar Obstacle Detection System
8m range, 3 stage notification, with alarm output and programmable detection zones.
As with the VTODSL, this device detects objects behind moving machines, with an increased 8m range and is able to precisely calculate the distance and direction of obstacles.  As distances to the object are reduced an alarm will sound, and as distance increases the alarm will stop (reducing false alarm triggers).

Detection Zones
Detects objects up to 8m away with three different programmable detection zones.  Radar will accurately calculate the distance and trigger the corresponding alarm.

Selectable Detection Modes

• 3m x 5m
• 4m x 6m
• 6.5m x 8m

VTRCO1 and VT744 QH Combination.
4m Radar and HD Reversing Camera with Radar Overlay.
4m radar range for obstacle detection behind moving vehicles.

Includes HD Video with Overlay
Featured in this kit is a high quality HD camera with built in infrared technology for night vision.  The radar data is overlayed onto the video to warn operators of nearby obstacles.
