Benewake TF02-i-RS485 Long Distance sensor

Looking for Tf02 Sensor? Benewake TF02-i-RS485 Long Distance sensor is available at Zbotic with fast shipping across India.

The Benewake TF02-i LiDAR Distance Sensors are the upgraded single-point ranging LiDARs from the TF02-Pro series. These sensors have been enhanced in terms of communication interface, input voltage, and reverse protection. They feature an IP65 enclosure rating, a 100Hz frame rate, and immunity to 100Klux ambient light. Operating within a 7V to 30V supply voltage range and a -20°C to 70°C temperature range, the TF02-i sensors are suitable for various industrial applications such as pedestrian detection, vehicle testing, and altitude measurement.

The TF02-i LIDAR ToF Optical Ranging Sensor is a unidirectional ranging LiDAR primarily used for height measurement and terrain-following in drones, compatible with flight controls like Pixhawk, APM, TopXGun, EFY Technology, aiAero, DAISCH, and others.

Its protection design adheres to the IP65 standard, safeguarding against dust, water, and corrosion. It is resistant to interference from strong outdoor light and can function under 100K lux light without being affected by temperature, humidity, light, electronics, or airflow.

With high sensitivity, it can measure distances up to 40 meters with centimeter-level accuracy. The scan frequency reaches up to 1000Hz, providing real-time distance detection at a 500 times/second refresh rate for more precise data. The TF02-i includes a complete system with a protective shell made from materials that allow high infrared transmittance without compromising optical performance.

Extensively utilized for height control and terrain-following in drones, particularly in agriculture, the TF02-i LiDAR Laser Rangefinder Sensor has amassed extensive experience and data across various scenarios, informing continuous product enhancements. To ensure the TF02-i’s reliability, rigorous seismic testing is conducted, with the sensor consistently demonstrating excellent performance.
