TF350 - laser distance sensor, UART/CAN (0.2-350m)

Description

The Benewake TF350 is a laser distance sensor with a long measuring range from 0.2 m to 350 m. It uses a wavelength of 905 nm and the Time of Flight (ToF) technology, which means that the sensor periodically transmits a beam of infrared rays that reflect from the object. It then measures the time of flight from the phase difference and obtains the range between the device and the detected object.

The sensor has been optimized for use in industry and in difficult weather conditions. It offers a wide range of supply voltages from 5 to 24 V, housing ensuring IP67 protection level and an interface UART and CAN. The sensor can work with a very high resolution of 1 cm and an accuracy of ± 10 cm and the frequency of measurements up to 1000 Hz. In addition, it is characterized by a very narrow measuring angle FoV 0.35 °, which allows for precise point measurements.

The TF350 is used in robotics as a measurement sensor in drones and mobile robots, autonomous vehicles, but also in industry, e.g. as a sensor for analyzing traffic.
