PINK
RADAR-BASED MODULAR ELECTRONIC SYSTEM WITH HIGHEST PRECISION FOR INDUSTRIAL TEST AND CALIBRATION TASKS
The PINK project aims to explore the introduction of innovative radar sensor technology in industrial applications and is divided into two application-specific parts based on the new 2π-LABS modular broadband radar hardware in the >116 GHz frequency range.
3D-PIPE-SAR: In recent years, radar technology has been established in one-dimensional width and thickness measurement of extruded plastic pipes in quality assurance. The goal is to integrate radar technology into imaging pipe scanner systems to enable three-dimensional full inspection of pipes for voids, cracks or contamination.
Precision radar for machine calibration: Recently, RUB-INSYS in collaboration with 2π-LABS and StatusPro demonstrated that radar technology achieves measurement accuracies of a few micrometers in the laboratory and thus potentially represents a suitable alternative to expensive optical measurement technology in machine calibration. However, there are still open questions. The aim is to develop a high-precision measuring radar sensor demonstrator with the highest possible absolute accuracy.
