This 2D single-line pulsed time-of-flight (ToF) LiDAR stands out with its ability to scan and measure the environmental profile across 270 degrees on the horizontal plane. Delivering precision within 2 centimeters over a detection range of 0 to 15 meters, it effectively transforms environmental mapping into an effortless task. Its compact dimensions ensure ease of integration into existing systems, while at the same time being lightweight and stable. With adjustable angular resolution between 0.2° and 0.5°, it eliminates almost any blind spots, making it an indispensable choice for short-distance detection tasks.
The LiDAR's high sampling rate of 18,000 times per second ensures the production of high-quality point cloud outputs. Resilient to intense lighting up to 100K Lux, it can conduct high-frequency, high-precision measurements and mapping activities in both indoor and outdoor environments. Featuring a VCSEL laser emitter, it generates a smaller laser spot size, thus contributing to less trailing and higher point cloud accuracy compared to traditional EEL laser emitters.
Equipped with a built-in web service, this LiDAR offers an intuitive interface for monitoring and configuration. Functions like dashboard display, radar settings, and over-the-air firmware updates are just a browser away at http://192.168.198.2. Supporting Ethernet UDP and masked USB communication modes, and powered through a 5.5-2.1 DC power interface, setup and connectivity have never been more straightforward.
Designed around the pulsed Time-of-Flight methodology, the LiDAR includes components that work in tandem to achieve accurate distance calculations. The laser diode emits short pulses observed by an optical detector, which feeds data to a Time-to-Digital converter. This converter, in conjunction with a motor-driven rotating mirror, enables comprehensive point-to-plane scanning. As the mirror rotates, different azimuths are scanned and sequenced to create a complete 2-dimensional map.
Beyond indoor robotics, which rely on this LiDAR for primary scanning duties, it also serves a vital role in outdoor robotics as an auxiliary sensor. The embodiment of cost-effectiveness, this LiDAR finds versatility in robots, multimedia interactions, and security perimeter applications. Additionally, with its built-in brushless motor, expect low noise levels and an extended lifespan, while ensuring compliance with Class 1 Eye Safety Laser Standards, making it safe for prolonged usage even in highly sensitive environments.
