TF03-180 LiDAR (Long-range distance sensor)
Product Datasheet V1.2.1
TF03-180 is an industrial-grade long-range LiDAR. Its
maximum detection range can reach 180m. With integrated
compensating algorithm for outdoor glare and other
interference, TF03-180 can work under strong light
environment and rain, fog and snow conditions1. Multiple built-
in operating modes let customers to change its parameters and
configuration to meet different applications.
