Perceiving the world as a series of disconnected dots, single-point sensors leave vast blind spots and thus often miss critical obstacles. The TF-NOVA Line Laser LiDAR is engineered to eliminate this fundamental flaw. By projecting a wide 14° "curtain" of laser light, it creates a continuous line of detection. At a distance of 1 meter, this line covers an area of 25cm x 1.7cm—perfect for ensuring nothing slips through. This represents a new dimension of perception for automated machines.

TF-NOVA Line Laser LiDAR Overview

Line-Shaped Detection

Features a unique 14° horizontal by 1° vertical Field of View (FoV), creating a "laser line" of detection. It 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, the TF-NOVA delivers stable and accurate measurements up to 14 meters, even in 100Klux direct sunlight or on dark, low-reflectivity surfaces.

Unfailing Outdoor Performance of TF-NOVA Line Laser LiDAR Sensor

Incredibly Compact & Lightweight

Smaller than an AA battery and weighing under 5g, its tiny footprint allows for seamless integration into space-constrained and weight-sensitive applications like drones, gimbals, and compact robotics.

Incredibly Compact & Lightweight of TF-NOVA Line Laser LiDAR Sensor

Flexible & Easy Integration

Equipped with UART, I2C, and a configurable I/O mode, it connects directly to platforms like Arduino or Raspberry Pi. The I/O mode can trigger a simple high/low signal, dramatically reducing the main controller's data processing workload.

Class 1 Eye-Safe

The 905nm VCSEL light source is classified as EN60825 Class 1, ensuring safety for use in consumer products, educational settings, and public spaces.

High Update Rate for Dynamic Tasks

With a configurable frame rate up to 900Hz, it can track fast-moving objects or provide real-time feedback for high-speed robotic applications.
