Benewake TF-NOVA LiDAR Distance Sensor

The Benewake TF-NOVA LiDAR Distance Sensor is a compact solid-state LiDAR sensor designed for obstacle detection presence detection and area ranging applications. Unlike conventional point-ranging LiDAR sensors the TF-NOVA projects a 14 1 laser line allowing it to detect objects across a wider horizontal area without mechanical scanning or multiple sensors. It provides a 0.1 to 14m measurement range with up to 900Hz measurement rates making it well suited for robotics autonomous platforms industrial automation and other applications where compact area detection is required.The TF-NOVA uses a 905nm VCSEL laser and provides 1cm distance resolution with 5cm accuracy from 0.1 to 4m. Its line-shaped detection area can cover approximately 25cm of horizontal width at a distance of 1m providing significantly more coverage than a conventional point sensor. The sensor can detect low-reflectivity targets in bright outdoor conditions with a specified range of up to 4m at 10% reflectivity under 100klux illumination. With dimensions of just 26.5 21.05 12mm and a weight of less than 5g the TF-NOVA can be integrated into space-constrained systems.
