Product description
TF-Luna is a compact LiDAR module based on the Time-of-Flight (TOF) principle with a VCSEL light source (850 nm), designed for precise and high-resolution distance measurements in complex environments. Thanks to its ABS housing, low power consumption, and configurable operating parameters, it is particularly well-suited for embedded systems and mobile robotics. Supplied with connection cables, including 6× female Dupont cables for testing and prototyping.
Measurement range:
- 0.2–8.0 m at 90% reflectivity, both indoors (0 klux) and outdoors (90 klux)
- 0.2–2.5 m at 10% reflectivity
Accuracy:
- ±6 cm for distances 0.2–3 m
- ±2% for distances 3–8 m
