The LW20/C is a small form factor, 100 meter range, laser sensor in an IP67 enclosure suitable for small drones and self-driving vehicles, where weight, size and power consumption are critical. The LW20/C includes driver hardware and software to control a servo driven LiDAR scanner for sense-and-avoid applications.
- Very small and light weight - 20 grams
- Drone laser altimeter
- Sense-and-avoid LiDAR
The Lightware LW20/C IP67 Laser Rangefinder (100m) is a small form factor, 100meter range, laser sensor in an IP67 enclosure suitable for small drones and selfdriving vehicles, where weight, size, and power consumption are critical. The LW20/C includes driver hardware and software to control a servo-driven LiDAR scanner for sense-and-avoid applications.
The LW20 LiDAR offers professional-grade performance in a tiny form factor. It can be used as a distance-measuring sensor or attached to a servo to create LiDAR maps that sense the world as two-dimensional images.
Measurements can be made to target surfaces up to 100 meters away in sunlit conditions. In scanning mode, up to 388 measurements can be made each second. The data can be streamed from the communication ports or analyzed internally to look for potentially hazardous alarm conditions.
