Benewake TF03 180m 4-20mA Industrial High-Speed Lidar

Looking for Tf03 180m? Benewake TF03 180m 4-20mA Industrial High-Speed Lidar is available at Zbotic with fast shipping across India.

The TF03-180 is an industrial-grade, long-range LiDAR with a maximum detection range of 180 meters. It features an integrated compensation algorithm for outdoor glare and other interferences, enabling it to operate in strong light conditions, as well as in rain, fog, and snow. It offers multiple built-in operating modes, allowing customers to adjust parameters and configurations for various applications.

The TF03 utilizes the pulsed time-of-flight principle. Its optical system and signal processing circuit have been uniquely designed to enhance detection performance within a compact form factor. It not only extends the range beyond 100 meters but also ensures excellent performance across key parameters such as distance resolution, accuracy, repeatability, and detection frequency.

As the third-generation product in the TF series, the TF03-180 maintains the cost-effectiveness and compact integration of its predecessors while upgrading over ten key parameters. It also provides multiple expansion functions to cater to diverse needs across different application domains. The TF03-180 is suitable for drone terrain-following, vehicle collision avoidance, intelligent transport systems, and industrial safety alerts.

The 4-20mA version of the TF03 supports current analog output, with the TTL serial port serving as the debugging port.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 4-20 mA output represent?

The 4-20 mA analog output scales linearly with measured distance: 4 mA corresponds to the sensor’s minimum range and 20 mA to its maximum specified range.

How do I set up the sensor for outdoor use?

Secure the IP67-rated TF03 in your desired location, wire a 10–30 V DC supply through the 4-20 mA loop, then connect the TTL serial port to a PC. Launch the Benewake configuration tool to select compensation mode for high ambient light and complete calibration.

Can the TF03 operate in rainy or foggy conditions?

Yes. The TF03 features an integrated compensation algorithm to ensure stable performance in rain, fog, snow and under strong ambient light up to 100 klux.
