Radar Test Lab

This laboratory has explicitly been setup for our work on high-precision radars for industrial applications. To enable dynamic verification measurements with µm accuracy it is equipped with an industrial machine.

• Accuracy: 1 Micrometer (LMKF-112.4 from AMO GmbH)
• Position accuracy of the motor: ≈1 µm
• Velocity: max. 5 m/s (≈18 km/h)
• Interface: serial
• Loading capacity: 20 N
• Measurement distance: 3 m

Other motors:

• PI M-413.3DG High-Load Precision Stage
  • Measurement distance 300 mm
  • Accuracy 5 µm
