TF-UW500 Underwater Single-Point LiDAR

SKU: SEN0755

TF-UW500 is an underwater single-point LiDAR using dToF technology, offering a tenfold range boost in low-turbidity water while keeping a compact, low-power design. Its eye-safe Class 1 visible laser provides a small, directional spot and wide incidence angle, greatly reducing multipath interference compared with ultrasonic sensors. With centimeter-level accuracy and millimeter-level repeatability, TF-UW500 enables precise distance measurement, full-path coordinate mapping, and stable positioning for pool-cleaning robots, cutting inertial drift and improving coverage. Hardware filtering and advanced anti-glare algorithms ensure reliable performance in strong light and turbid water, and calibration for over ten common pool materials delivers consistent accuracy and smooth underwater navigation.
