TF-NOVA Linear Spot Laser Radar UART IIC I/O 0.1m-14m Range Single Point Obstacle Avoidance Straight Line Pattern Laser Beam

TF-NOVALiDAR

With line pattern laser beam, Benewake introduces the industry's first one-dimensional area detection solution. It features a compact design, multiple interfaces, a waterproof lens, and versatility for both indoor and outdoor use. Its extensive command set ensures seamless integration.

Measuring principle

TF-NOVA is a typical Pulse Time of Flight (PToF) sensor. TF-NOVA emits a narrow pulse laser, which is collimated by the transmitting lens, which enters the receiving system after being reflected by the measured target and is focused on the detector by the receiving lens. The time between the transmitted signal and the received signal is calculated through the circuit amplification and filtering, and the distance between TF-NOVA and the measured target can be calculated through the speed of light.

NOTICE

① The measurement range is measured when all light spots are placed on the target board, at 25 ℃. Changes in conditions may cause variations in the measurement results.

② The accuracy is measured under the condition of 25 ℃, 0Klux and 10% reflectance background board, and changes in conditions may cause changes in the measurement results.

Q&A

Can it be stably detected outdoors in bright light?

TF-NOVA uses a new generation of perception chips, and its theoretical sensitivity is 10,000 times that of the previous one, which significantly improves the detection ability of black high-bright reflective targets. For example, black high-gloss vehicles can also obtain a detection capability of at least 3m outdoors, which eliminates false detections and missed detections to the greatest extent.

Do I need extra protection?

The TF-NOVA front window mirror is made of infrared light high transmission material, and the front panel is designed and assembled according to the IP67 protection level, so customers can achieve effective waterproof and dustproof functions with simple integration.

What is the application scenario?

TF-NOVA is more widely used in scenarios such as automotive intelligent door collision avoidance, shuttle/robot obstacle avoidance, assisted focusing, and parking space detection.
