ZRE200GE

The ZRE200GE is an optical motion sensor used to detect the velocity of objects. It uses the Doppler principle to measure the motion of an object without any contact. It does this by emitting a beam of infrared light and capturing the reflection of that beam off an object as it moves. By calculating the frequency shift of the transmitted and reflected light waves, the velocity of the object can be estimated.

The ZRE200GE is ideal for use in applications requiring high accuracy velocity measurement such as production line quality assurance, material handling, automation, robotics, vehicle speed sensing, and automotive active safety systems. It is also used in advanced research and development of special objects.

To achieve its high accuracy, the ZRE200GE utilizes the advanced Fast Moving Time Sampling (FMTS) technology to capture the Doppler shifted signal from the reflected light. The sensor receives signals from two separate infrared laser beams projected in opposite directions. The frequency of the infrared light beam is shifted by the motion of the object, which creates a Doppler effect. This creates a data point that is sent to the processor for analysis. The processor then converts the frequency shift into a velocity value and outputs it as an analog voltage signal. The accuracy of the ZRE200GE is improved further by using two voltage signals to calculate the actual velocity of the target.

The ZRE200GE also provides a powerful diagnostic tool. The RF generator can measure the transmission power of the laser diode and the reflected beam of light in order to ensure that they meet the required specifications. This allows for the early detection of any potential issues which may affect the performance of the system. In addition to this, the built-in temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the system for improved accuracy and reliability.

The ZRE200GE is a versatile and reliable solution for motion sensing. Its advanced optical sensing technology provides the necessary accuracy for the most demanding applications. Thanks to its diagnostics feature, it can detect potential issues before they become a major problem. Combined with its small size and competitive price, the ZRE200GE is the perfect solution for any motion sensing application.
