Benewake TFMini-i LiDAR, 12m Industrial-grade Ranging Module

Benewake TFmini-i, based on the upgraded version of TFmini-S, is a compact short-range LiDAR sensor. Inherited advantages of small size and low power consumption from TFmini-S, TFmini-i has greatly improved its performance — increasing the measurement frequency, reducing blind zone, and improving accuracy and stability. Meanwhile, TFmini-i introduces IP65 enclosures and optimizes various compensation algorithms, which has greatly expanded its application fields and scenarios. TFmini-i, as large as a man’s thumb, has a great overall performance. The blind zone narrows down to 10cm and the frame rate can reach 100Hz. The lowest power consumption is 85mW. Unlike the open structure of TFmini — Open form module, TFmini-i has been designed with IP65 enclosures and also passed the vibration test of drone level, which will greatly expand its application fields. TFmini-i supports Pix and customized output protocols and provides various commonly used interfaces — RS485 and CAN, more comprehensively meeting customers’ needs.
