Rauch Axmat Radar Sensor System

Product catalog summary

Overview
The Rauch Axmat Radar Sensor System is designed for measuring material flow in motion, specifically for the lateral distribution of materials using Rauch disc spreaders. Developed in collaboration between Rauch Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH and MSO Meßtechnik und Ortung GmbH, the system features a core Radar sensor system that provides distribution data. It has been recognized with a Gold Medal by the DLG novelties commission.

Measurement of Lateral Distribution
The system's key component is the innovative MSO Radar sensor system, which captures material distribution. It includes four Radar Frontends on a multi-processor module, with data processed by a powerful 32-bit ARM-Cortex M4 microcontroller. The sensor is mounted in a sealed enclosure on a servo-motor-driven swivel arm, scanning the material flow with high angular resolution. This data is used to control the lateral distribution pattern of the material on the spreading disc.

Operational Benefits
The Axmat system offers several advantages:

Contactless measurement of free-flying material flow.
Accurate capture of angular material distribution.
Compatibility with various materials (granules, grit, powder, small pellets).
Enhanced monitoring and control of disc spreaders.
Optimization of fertilization costs.
Self-adjustment and function check-up capabilities.
Resistance to soiling and dirt, with a fully sealed IP69K-rated sensor.

Rauch Axmat Radar Sensor System for material flow measurement Measurement of a thrown material flow in movement Axmat is a closed-loop control system for the lateral distribution of Rauch disc spreaders. Axmat is a joint development of "Rauch Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH" and "MSO Meßtechnik und Ortung GmbH" in which MSO accounts for the core Radar sensor system delivering the distribution data. Axmat was granted a Goldmedal from the DLG novelties commission. Measurement of lateral distribution

The innovative MSO Radar sensor system for material flow measurement is the essential component of the Rauch Axmat System and the prerequisite for capturing the distribution of the material. It does consist of four Radar Frontends arranged in a line on one multi-processor module. Data are sampled in a very high rate and processed in a powerfull Mikrocontroller (32-bit ARM-Cortex M4 with DSP and FPU) dedicated to one Radar Frontend. Further processing and communication handling is provided for by another dedicated Mikrocontroller. The MSO Radar sensor system is mounted in a fully sealed enclosure...
