Product Description
The TFA300 series includes two models: the ultra-light TFA300-L without housing and the robust TFA300 with IP67 protective housing. Both versions offer a maximum sampling rate of 10,000 Hz. Typical applications include electro-optical/infrared gimbals, SAR drones, and FPV racing drones. The technology enables automatic focus adjustment, precise localization, stable altitude flight, and fast obstacle detection.
Ultra-high frequency UAV LiDAR
The TFA300 series typically operates at 1–1,000 Hz, with a high-frequency mode up to 10,000 Hz. This results in up to 10,000 measurements per second, with distance updates every 3.4 cm in real-time. This enables faster reaction times and improved obstacle detection.
- Sampling rate: up to 10,000 Hz
- Measurement range: 0.1–270 m
- FoV: <0.5°
- Weight: 34.5 g (TFA300)
Compact & robust
The IP67-protected TFA300 housing weighs 34.5 g and provides optimal protection. Its compact design allows direct integration into EO/IR gimbals. This perfectly optimizes SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost).
- Dimensions (TFA300): 48.0 × 37 × 28.6 mm
- Accuracy: ±10 cm (<10 m), 1% (≥10 m)
- Temperature range: –20 °C to 60 °C
- Easy integration for drones
- Standardized JST GH connectors for direct connection to flight controllers – no adapter needed
- CAN interface for modern flight controllers
- SDK with DroneCAN protocol enables plug-and-play with popular controllers
- Reduces development time and lowers costs
- Weatherproof & reliable
Optimized for use in extreme conditions: temperatures from –20 °C to 60 °C, ambient light up to 100 KLux, as well as rain, fog, and dust are no problem. False detections are minimized. Thanks to this reliability, over 400,000 accident-free delivery flights have been conducted worldwide.
