60 GHz Safety Radar for 3D Volumetric Protection
Industrial safety without compromise: Inxpect S201A-W brings millimeter-wave radar technology (60 GHz) to applications where optical systems struggle — dust, smoke, chips, splashes, and variable lighting. The result is reliable, configurable true volumetric (3D) area monitoring, ideal for robotic cells, presses, automated islands, and transit corridors.
Value for the System
- Hazardous area protection with four configurable 3D detection fields and a choice of classic or “corridor” FOV; the system detects presence within a volume, not just on a single plane.
- Restart prevention: if the area is not clear, the sensor prevents machine restart (typical restart timeout ~4 s). Reduced risks and more robust safety procedures.
- Environmental reliability: IP67, robust materials (PA66 + aluminum), –30 °C / +60 °C, power consumption ~2.2 W. Designed for real industrial lines, not just brochures.
- Certified safety: the S200 series complies with safety standards for radar sensors (e.g. IEC-TS 61496-5) with levels up to PL d / SIL 2 for the intended applications.
Where It Delivers the Most Value
- Robotic cells and handling systems: when an operator enters for setup or maintenance, the radar prevents restart until the area is clear.
- Presses, high-speed machinery, automated islands: volumetric coverage in complex spaces, even with reflections and light interference.
- Logistics corridors / AGVs: “corridor” mode protects passageways and loading/unloading areas without bulky physical barriers.
- Indoor / Outdoor: robustness and IP67 protection for demanding environments.
Why Choose a Safety Radar?
- Fewer false alarms in dirty or variable conditions → fewer machine stoppages and higher OEE.
- 3D and multi-zone coverage → adapts to the real layout, not the other way around.
- Fast configuration of angles and fields → shorter commissioning times.

Integration with the System
The S201A-W can be mounted on a robust bracket, offering flexible positioning and software configuration to define warning zones and stop zones, aligning the safety logic with the actual machine dynamics. Technology BSA supports model selection, field design, functional validation, and documentation for risk assessment.
