Description

The TF03-100 employs a pulsed time-of-flight (ToF) measurement principle, where a 905nm laser pulse is emitted and the time for its reflection to return is precisely measured. This method, combined with advanced signal processing algorithms, provides high accuracy (±10cm within 10m, 1% beyond) and a fine distance resolution of 1cm. The sensor’s optical system is engineered to compensate for outdoor glare and environmental interference.

Designed for industrial durability, the unit features an IP67-sealed, high-strength aluminum bodywork that protects against dust and temporary immersion. Its wide operating voltage of 6-24V DC allows for direct integration into vehicle electrical systems or industrial power rails. The integrated multi-echo processing can distinguish between up to four return signals, enhancing object detection in complex scenarios.

Key Features

  • Industrial-Grade Long-Range Detection: Measures distances from 0.1m to 100m (90% reflectivity), with performance maintained under 100 Klux ambient light.
  • Dual Protocol Communication: Simultaneously supports RS485 (Modbus RTU compatible) and RS232 serial interfaces via a single cable harness for versatile connectivity.
  • High-Speed, High-Precision Measurement: Offers adjustable frame rates from 1Hz to 1000Hz (default 100Hz) with excellent repeatability (<3cm, 1σ) and ±10cm accuracy within 10m.
  • Rugged Environmental Sealing: IP67-rated enclosure ensures reliable operation in demanding conditions, including exposure to rain, dust, and temperatures from -25°C to 60°C.
  • Multi-Echo & Interference Rejection: Advanced signal processing provides up to four-echo detection and robust compensation for environmental factors like fog and background light.
  • Compact and Integrable Design: Small form factor (44x43x32 mm) and low power consumption (<1W typical) facilitate easy integration into drones, robots, and machinery.
  • Laser Safety Compliance: Class 1 laser product (EN 60825), ensuring eye-safe operation for personnel in its intended applications.

Applications

  • UAV & Drone Navigation: Terrain following, automatic landing, altitude hold, and anti-collision systems for autonomous aerial vehicles.
  • Robotic Obstacle Avoidance: Providing long-range distance data for AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and mobile robots navigating dynamic environments.
  • <industrial Safety & Positioning: Crane hook proximity detection, vehicle position sensing for barrier gate control, and perimeter intrusion monitoring.
  • Intelligent Transportation: Level measurement in silos or bins, and vehicle detection for smart parking management systems.
  • Industrial Automation: Precise long-range object detection and positioning on assembly lines or in large-scale material handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the power supply requirements for the TF03-100 RS485/RS232 version?

The TF03-100 operates from a wide-range DC input of 6V to 24V. Current consumption varies with voltage: approximately ≤150mA at 5V, ≤80mA at 12V, and ≤50mA at 24V, with total power consumption under 1W. This flexibility allows integration with 12V vehicle systems, 24V industrial PLC rails, or lower-voltage embedded setups with a suitable DC-DC converter.

How do I communicate with the sensor using RS485 or RS232?

The sensor supports both interfaces simultaneously via its integrated cable. For RS485 (2-wire half-duplex), connect the A and B lines to your RS485 transceiver, adhering to Modbus RTU protocol for command structure. For RS232 (full-duplex), use the TX, RX, and GND lines. The default baud rate is 115200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity (8N1). Both interfaces are active by default.

What is the sensor's performance in outdoor conditions like bright sunlight or rain?

The TF03-100 is designed for outdoor use with 100 Klux ambient light immunity, allowing it to function reliably in direct sunlight. Its IP67 rating protects against dust ingress and temporary water immersion (up to 1m for 30 minutes). Advanced signal processing algorithms also provide compensation for environmental interference like rain, fog, and light snow, ensuring stable distance readings.

Can the measurement frame rate and other parameters be configured?

Yes, key operational parameters are configurable via serial commands. The frame rate is adjustable from 1 Hz to 1000 Hz (10kHz peak), with 100 Hz as the default. Other settings like output data format, communication address (for RS485 multi-drop networks), and filtering options can also be modified to optimize performance for specific applications like high-speed robotics or steady-state monitoring.

What is the difference between the RS485/RS232 version and other TF03-100 variants?

This specific variant provides dual industrial serial interfaces (RS485 and RS232) on a single cable. Other versions may offer different interfaces, such as CAN bus or UART (TTL logic level). The core LiDAR performance (range, accuracy, IP rating) remains consistent across variants. The choice depends on your system's communication backbone—RS485 is ideal for long-distance, multi-drop industrial networks, while RS232 suits direct PC or legacy equipment connections.
