Description

The Benewake TFA170-L sensor employs a pulsed 905nm laser and a high-sensitivity Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) detector to perform direct Time-of-Flight (dToF) distance calculation. This method provides high immunity to ambient light interference and delivers stable, accurate ranging data even at long distances. The sensor’s performance is characterized by its high repeatability and a configurable measurement rate to balance speed and power consumption.

Designed for demanding environments, the TFA170-L operates reliably across an industrial temperature range of -20°C to +60°C. Its market-proven design, with over a million units shipped in the TF series, is engineered for durability and is capable of passing stringent certifications like DO-160G. The compact form factor and 1.25mm 4-pin connector facilitate straightforward integration into space-constrained applications such as drone gimbals, robotic arms, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

Key Features

  • Advanced dToF Technology: Utilizes a 905nm EEL laser source and SPAD sensor for precise, long-range distance measurement with excellent ambient light rejection.
  • High Precision & Configurability: Offers adjustable frame rates (1-250Hz) and a narrow 2° field of view, enabling optimization for specific application speed and accuracy requirements.
  • Ultra-Compact & Lightweight Build: Exceptionally small footprint (31.0 x 30.2 x 19.2 mm) and weight of only 10 grams, directly contributing to increased flight time in drone applications.
  • Robust & Reliable Performance: Operates across a wide temperature range (-20°C to +60°C) and is designed to meet rigorous industrial and aviation standards (DO-160G).
  • Low Power Operation: Consumes ≤0.35W, making it suitable for energy-sensitive mobile and portable systems powered by a 12V DC source.
  • Market-Validated Design: Part of the proven Benewake TF series, with a history of high-volume deployment ensuring reliability and performance.

Applications

  • Drone Navigation & Obstacle Avoidance: Provides long-range, high-precision altitude hold, terrain following, and collision avoidance for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
  • Robotic Positioning & Safety: Enables precise pallet transport robot localization, crane positioning, and fall prevention for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and industrial robots.
  • Industrial Level & Volume Monitoring: Accurately measures liquid levels in tanks, bulk solid volumes in silos, and monitors space occupancy for logistics and inventory management.
  • Smart Traffic & Infrastructure: Supports V2X communication, holographic intersection monitoring, and traffic light control by detecting vehicle presence and distance at key highway areas.
  • Security & Surveillance Systems: Functions as a smart trigger for perimeter intrusion detection and security warnings in access-controlled zones.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage and power consumption of the TFA170-L LiDAR sensor?

The TFA170-L requires a DC 12V ±10% power supply and consumes a maximum of 0.35 watts. This low power draw makes it suitable for integration into battery-powered mobile platforms like drones and robots, helping to extend operational time.

How do I communicate with the TFA170-L sensor and what is its output format?

The sensor communicates via a UART serial interface through its 1.25mm 4-pin connector. It outputs distance data in a standard serial protocol format, which can be easily parsed by microcontrollers (like Arduino, STM32), single-board computers (like Raspberry Pi), or industrial PLCs for further processing.

What is the difference between the 90% and 10% reflectivity range specifications?

The maximum measurable distance is highly dependent on target reflectivity. The sensor can achieve its full 170-meter range on highly reflective (90%) surfaces. For low-reflectivity (10%) targets, such as dark or absorbent materials, the effective range is reduced to 70 meters, which is a critical consideration for application planning.

Can the frame rate and other parameters of the sensor be configured?

Yes, the TFA170-L offers configurable frame rates of 1, 20, 50, 100 (default), and 250 Hz via serial commands. This allows users to optimize the balance between measurement update speed and power consumption based on the specific needs of their application, such as high-speed robotics versus slower environmental monitoring.

Is the TFA170-L suitable for outdoor use and what are its environmental limits?

Yes, the sensor is designed for robust performance with an operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C. Its 905nm laser and dToF technology provide good performance in various lighting conditions. However, for permanent outdoor installation, proper housing should be considered to protect the connector and lens from direct moisture and debris, as a specific IP rating is not stated.
