LightWare SF45/B 50m Scanning LiDAR Range Sensor

A small sensor that can detect obstacles

The SF45/B is a small, lightweight scanning microLiDAR sensor, and is designed for obstacle detection by small autonomous vehicles or machines. 

The horizontal field of view can be adjusted from a few degrees up to 320 degrees to suit the application. Objects up to 50 meters away can be detected and avoided by finding clear pathways using simple navigation commands. 

The LightWare SF45/B is tolerant to changes in background lighting conditions, wind, and noise.

• Designed for area mapping and obstacle detection and navigation for small autonomous vehicles and drones
• Tolerant to changes in background lighting conditions, wind, and noise
• Can operate indoors and outdoors
• Up to 50 m range (white wall in daylight conditions)
• Measurement rate from 50 Hz to 5000 Hz.
• An alarm is activated when an obstacle is detected
