SF000/B 50 M microLiDAR® Distance Sensor

The LightWare SF000/B microLiDAR sensor delivers high-precision 50 meter measurements in a compact and ultralight form factor ideal for UAV applications

Image of LightWare SF000/B 50 M microLiDAR® Distance SensorThe LightWare SF000/B microLiDAR sensor offers reliable distance measurement capabilities up to 50 meters. This sensor is designed for seamless integration into UAVs and provides real-time, high-accuracy measurements in a compact form factor.

The SF000/B delivers precise distance readings using time-of-flight (ToF) technology. Its compact design (30 mm x 20 mm x 17 mm) and ultralight weight of only 9.81 g (0.35 oz) make it the perfect solution for applications where weight and space are critical constraints.

The SF000/B is power efficient, consuming just 5.5 V in normal operation. Its industry-standard communication interfaces, including UART and I2C, enable easy integration into a wide range of platforms. The sensor also features first and last pulse detection, making it highly effective in complex environments with obstacles such as foliage.

This sensor is engineered for versatility; it is ideal for UAVs needing aboveground level (AGL) measurement, position hold, autonomous take-off and landing, and detect and avoid capabilities. Its robust design ensures consistent performance in diverse operational conditions, making it an essential tool for applications that demand precision and reliability.

LightWare is a trusted name in high-performance LiDAR solutions, offering innovative ultralight sensors that deliver exceptional performance. The SF000/B continues this by providing an optimal balance of size, weight, and accuracy for demanding applications.
