Benewake TFmini-i-CAN 12m LiDAR Distance Sensor (IP65)

The Benewake TFmini-i-CAN is an industrial single-point LiDAR rangefinder with a CAN bus interface, developed from the TFmini-S with a wider supply range and reverse-polarity protection. On UAVs it handles altitude measurement and obstacle sensing; it is also used for pedestrian detection, vehicle testing and level sensing.

Key features

• Measures 0.1–12 m with 1% accuracy
• Adjustable frame rate from 1 to 1000 Hz
• 7–30 V wide-input supply with reverse-polarity protection
• IP65 sealed housing and 70 klux ambient-light immunity for outdoor work in sun, fog and dust
• Low draw: 0.8 W or less at 12 V, about 65 mA average
• Narrow 2° field of view for a tight measurement spot
