{"title":"TFmini-i LiDAR Laser Range Sensor (12m)","handle":"tfmini-i-lidar-laser-range-sensor-12m","url":"/products/tfmini-i-lidar-laser-range-sensor-12m","description":"The TFmini-i is an industrial-grade single-point LiDAR sensor with a maximum detection range of 12 m. It uses Pulse Time of Flight (PTOF) measurement — emitting a narrow laser pulse and calculating the distance based on the round-trip time of the reflected signal.\n\nHoused in a rugged PC/ABS/PMMA enclosure rated IP65 for dust and water resistance, it's designed for demanding environments. The sensor supports 7–30 V input with reverse polarity protection, communicates via RS-485 using the standard Modbus protocol, and offers an adjustable frame rate up to 1 kHz. Compatible with Arduino (via TTL-to-RS485 shield) and Raspberry Pi (via USB-to-RS485 module).\n\nKey Features\n\n\n12 m Range – Up to 12 m at 90% reflectivity, 7 m at 10% reflectivity\n\nIP65 Rated – Industrial-grade dust and water resistance\n\nRS-485 Interface – Standard Modbus protocol communication\n\nWide Input Voltage – 7–30 V with reverse polarity protection\n\nAdjustable Frame Rate – Default 100 Hz, configurable up to 1 kHz\n\n1 cm Resolution – Fine distance measurement precision\n\nEye-Safe Laser – Class 1 (EN 60825)\n\nMultiple Operating Modes – Configurable parameters for different applications\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nOperating Range – 0.1–12 m (90% reflectivity), 0.1–7 m (10% reflectivity)\n\nAccuracy – ±6 cm (0.1–6 m), ±1% (6–12 m)\n\nDistance Resolution – 1 cm\n\nFrame Rate – 100 Hz (default), up to 1 kHz\n\nAmbient Light Immunity – 70 Klux\n\nLight Source – VCSEL, 850 nm\n\nField of View – 2°\n\nSupply Voltage – 7–30 V\n\nAverage Current – ≤65 mA at 12 V\n\nPower Consumption – ≤0.8 W at 12 V\n\nInterface – RS-485 (Modbus)\n\nDimensions – 50 × 34 × 41 mm\n\nWeight – 52 g\n\nCable Length – 70 cm\n\nOperating Temperature – –20 to 60 °C\n\nStorage Temperature – –30 to 75 °C\n\nEnclosure – PC/ABS/PMMA, IP65\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nVehicle and pedestrian detection\nCollision avoidance and safety warning systems\nUAV assisted takeoff and landing\nAltimeters and distance measurement\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× TFmini-i LiDAR Laser Range Sensor\n\n\nResources\n\nProduct Wiki (DFRobot)\n","vendor":"DFRobot","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":2505,"title":"Default Title","sku":"DF-SEN0505","price":143.07,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":5,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
