YDLIDAR G2 Triangulation Series Distance Sensor Rangefinder 12M 360° UART ₹12,849.00
YDLIDAR G4 Triangulation Series Distance Sensor Rangefinder 16M 360° UART ₹29,899.00
YDLIDAR G6 Triangulation Series Distance Sensor Rangefinder 16M 360° UART ₹33,999.00
YDLIDAR TSA 360° TOF Omnidirectional LIDAR Distance Sensor 8m UART ₹10,499.00 Lidar stands for “Light Detection and Ranging.” It is an active remote sensing technology, that measures the time it takes for each laser pulse to bounce back from an obstacle to calculate the distance.
TFA170-L is an Industrial-Grade long-range LiDAR based on the pulsed ToF (time of flight) principle and it is designed for the Long-range single-point up to 170m with a unique design of the optical system and the signal processing circuit it offers improved detection performance in a compact size. It Optimizes various compensation algorithms, with unique optics, electricity, and algorithms to achieve stability, precision, sensitivity, and high-speed distance measurement. It can work under a strong light environment and rain, fog, and snow conditions. Widely used in terrain-following of drones, the collision avoidance of cars, intelligent transportation, and industrial safety warnings.
The sensor can output up to 1000 readings per second. It can detect points up to 170m with an accuracy of 1% and has a narrow FoV of 0.5°.
It operates on 12V and can connect to a microcontroller, PLC, and computer through a UART interface. Please go through the development manual under the Technical Details Tab for the detailed commands and responses by the sensor.
Benewake also provides GUI software for testing and using the sensor. The software can display live sensor readings, log readings, and debug messages. Use this software as a plug-and-play option to test and evaluate the sensor for your application.
