Vehicle Detection Sensors for Car Washes
Challenge
A car wash needs to know when a vehicle approaches, enters, and exits to keep the process moving smoothly. Doors that don’t open or close at the proper times can quickly lock down an operation or damage vehicles by closing too soon. The conveyor could push another vehicle into one stopped at the exit. The wash may not start at all if it doesn’t know a car has reached the appropriate location.
Solution
- T30RW Wash Down Series Radar Sensors mounted at the entrance and exit can regulate traffic flow and trigger functions, opening and closing entry and exit doors or halting the conveyor if a vehicle has not cleared the exit
- Radar technology in the T30RW excels in car washes, reliably detecting vehicles despite changing temperatures and the presence of excess water, mist, and steam
- The IP69K-rated housing resists harsh conditions for durable, dependable sensing even in moisture and spraying water

T30R Radar Sensor for Detecting the Widest Range of Objects
The T30R sensor is a longer-range alternative to ultrasonic sensors, and provides more reliable detection and position feedback in extreme outdoor conditions and other challenging environments. It features a shorter dead zone, better accuracy, and the ability to see a wider range of targets than traditional 24GHz radar sensors.
