{"title":"TF-NOVA Line Laser LiDAR Sensor - 14m","handle":"tf-nova-line-laser-lidar-sensor-14m-unique-line-shaped-detection","url":"/products/tf-nova-line-laser-lidar-sensor-14m-unique-line-shaped-detection","description":"Instead of measuring just one dot, the TF-NOVA projects a wide 14° by 1° curtain of laser light to create a continuous line of detection. At 1 metre, that line covers 25cm x 1.7cm, helping automated machines spot thin or awkward obstacles that a single-point sensor may miss.Built on Pulse Time-of-Flight (PToF) technology, it is designed for stable distance measurement outdoors, including direct sunlight and lower-reflectivity targets. Its tiny 26.5×21.05×12.0mm body and 5g weight make it well suited to drones, gimbals, compact robots and other space-sensitive builds.Integration is flexible, with UART, I2C and configurable I/O modes for platforms such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. The package includes the TF-NOVA Line Laser LiDAR ×1, a 1.25mm-to-2.54mm Dupont Cable (20cm) ×1, and a 1.25mm-to-1.25mm Cable (10cm) ×1; DFRobot also provides a product wiki, user manual and GUI.Features:Line-shaped detection: Features a unique 14° horizontal by 1° vertical Field of View (FoV), creating a laser line of detection.Thin-object spotting: Reliably spots thin objects like chair legs, wires, or pallet edges that single-point sensors would easily miss.Stable outdoor detection: Built on Pulse Time-of-Flight (PToF) technology for stable and accurate measurements up to 14 metres.Sunlight and low-reflectivity performance: Operates even in 100Klux direct sunlight or on dark, low-reflectivity surfaces.Incredibly compact and lightweight: Smaller than an AA battery and weighing under 5g for space-constrained and weight-sensitive applications.Flexible integration: Equipped with UART, I2C, and a configurable I/O mode.Platform compatibility: Connects directly to platforms like Arduino or Raspberry Pi.Configurable I/O output: I/O mode can trigger a simple high/low signal, reducing the main controller's data processing workload.Class 1 eye-safe: The 905nm VCSEL light source is classified as EN60825 Class 1.High update rate: Configurable frame rate up to 900Hz for tracking fast-moving objects or real-time feedback in high-speed robotics.Specifications:Measurement Range (90% reflectivity, 0Klux): ≥14m@90%reflectivity, 0KluxMeasurement Range (10% reflectivity, 0Klux): ≥13m@10%reflectivity, 0KluxMeasurement Range (90% reflectivity, 100Klux): ≥7m@90%reflectivity, 100KluxMeasurement Range (10% reflectivity, 100Klux): ≥4m@10%reflectivity, 100KluxBlind Zone: 0.1mAccuracy: ±5cm @ 0.1-4mPrecision: <1cm (1σ) @ 0.1-4mDistance Resolution: 1cmFrame Rate: 1-900Hz (default: 100Hz)Light Source: VCSELCentral Wavelength: 905nmLaser FOV: 14°×1°Laser Safety: Class 1 Eye-safe [EN60825]Avg Power Consumption: 500mWInrush Current: 850mAStartup Time: 1sOperating Voltage: DC 5V ±5%Operating Temperature: -25℃ ~ +70℃Storage Temperature: -30℃ ~ +80℃Dimensions: 26.5×21.05×12.0mmWeight: 5gHardware Interface: 1.25mm-5PinFront Window Protection: IP65Useful applications include robot obstacle avoidance, industrial collision prevention, pallet and shelf detection, UAV altitude holding, parking space detection and interactive installations.","vendor":"DFRobot","product_type":"LiDAR Sensor","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":15958,"title":"Default Title","sku":"DF-SEN0671","mpn":"SEN0671","price":85.8,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":57}]}
