TF02-i ToF Single-Point Ranging Solid State LiDAR Sensor (40m, RS485, IP65)

The TF02-i is an industrial-grade Time-of-Flight single-point solid-state LiDAR sensor designed for accurate distance detection from 0.1 m to 40 m. Equipped with a robust RS485 communication interface and an IP65 enclosure, it is well suited for hobbyists, engineers, and educators developing advanced robotics and UAV projects.

Long-range optical distance sensing

The sensor measures distances reliably from 0.1 m up to 40 m using solid-state Time-of-Flight technology. This makes it suitable for obstacle avoidance, perimeter monitoring, and positioning.

High-frequency 1KHz sampling rate

With a sampling capability of up to 1KHz, the unit delivers fast data refresh rates for real-time tracking. This high responsiveness helps autonomous platforms react swiftly to fast-changing environments.

Robust RS485 interface

Data is transmitted over an RS485 communication bus, ensuring stable data transfer over extended cable runs. This interface integrates smoothly with industrial controllers, microcontrollers, and automation systems.

Weatherproof IP65 enclosure

Housed in an IP65-rated casing, the sensor is sealed against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. This durable build allows for deployment in harsh indoor and outdoor environments.

Optimised for robotics and UAVs

The compact single-point design is purpose-built for drone altitude holding, terrain following, and robotic navigation. Its non-moving solid-state construction ensures high operational stability during flight and motion.
