Lightware SF45/B  is the world’s smallest, lightest, scanning microLiDAR®. This 5Hz oscillating sensor is highly configurable, with the ability to scan to 320°LightWare LLC welcomes a new addition to the family, the SF45/B which is a small and lightweight scanning microLiDAR sensor.

Lightware SF45/B weighs a mere 59 grams and offers ranging capabilities from 0.2 m up to 50 m using a horizontal Field of View (FoV) which can be adjusted from a few degrees up to 320 degrees to adapt to your sensing needs.

A small form factor of only 51 mm x 48 mm x 44 mm makes the SF45/B ideal for almost every application and features an update rate of up to 5000 measurements per second. These features will certainly benefit any type of unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), or robot where size and weight are critical to the system design.

Applications:

1. Detect and avoid
2. Position hold
3. SLAM
4. IoT sensor

Features:

1. Obstacle detection and navigation for small autonomous vehicles and drones.
2. Tolerant to changes in background lighting conditions, wind, and noise.
3. Can operate indoors and outdoors.
4. Up to 50 m range (white wall in daylight conditions).
5. Measurement to the nearest or farthest detected surface.
6. Measurement rate from 50 Hz to 5000 Hz.
7. Alarms when an obstacle is detected.
8. Eye-safe laser emission Class 1M.
9. Small in size only 51 mm x 48 mm x 44 mm.
10. Lightweight: 59 g.
11. Internal status monitoring.
