Advanced Measurement Technology

The sensor employs phase-shift measurement technology, an advanced method where the phase difference between emitted and reflected laser beams is analyzed to calculate distance with extreme precision.

Key performance highlights:

• Accuracy: ±1mm, even under varying environmental conditions

• Range: 0.03–80m for versatile indoor and outdoor use

• Frequency: Up to 30Hz for dynamic and high-speed measurement

This ensures high reliability, making it a high precision laser distance sensor suited for industries where accuracy is non-negotiable—such as robotics navigation, component alignment, and smart manufacturing.

Compact and Lightweight Design

With a size of only 27.87 × 16.57 × 7.01 mm and a weight of just 2 grams, this laser measurement sensor is designed for seamless integration where space and weight constraints are critical.

Despite its compact profile, it delivers robust measurement capabilities, proving that cutting-edge performance can be achieved without compromising portability or OEM adaptability.

Connectivity Options for Flexible Integration

The sensor is not limited to USB connectivity; it also offers UART, RS232, RS485, and analog output for maximum flexibility. The analog laser distance sensor feature is particularly valuable for real-time control applications, where continuous feedback is essential for positioning, speed regulation, or automated adjustments.

This wide range of interfaces ensures compatibility with:

• Arduino – ideal for rapid prototyping and experimental development

• Raspberry Pi – suitable for embedded IoT systems

• ESP32 and PLC platforms – perfect for industrial automation

Dual Laser Variants for Diverse Environments

To ensure optimal visibility and performance, the sensor is available in two laser options:

• Red Laser (610–690nm) – Perfect for standard indoor applications and controlled lighting environments

• Green Laser (510–550nm) – Highly visible in bright or outdoor conditions, making it a reliable choice for construction, drone systems, and robotic operations
