This makes it indispensable for the tasks of maintaining altitude, avoiding obstacles and mapping terrain. The SF30/D is ideal for integration into drones, robotics platforms and industrial automation systems, offering a reliable solution for the most demanding applications.

• Measuring range up to 200 meters for working at high altitudes.
• Update rate up to 20,000 measurements per second for instant response.
• ±5cm accuracy and 1cm resolution for highly accurate measurements.
• Ultra-light weight of 35 grams and compact dimensions for installation on any drone.
• Supports UART, I2C, USB and analog output interfaces for easy integration.

How the FDROBOT SF30/D laser rangefinder works

The sensor uses the principle of measuring the time of flight of a laser pulse (Time-of-Flight). It emits short laser pulses in the direction of an object and measures the time it takes for the reflected signal to return. The built-in processor instantly calculates distance, ensuring high accuracy regardless of surface color and texture.

Unique processing of the first and last pulse allows you to work effectively even with low-reflective surfaces such as water or dark soil. With minimal power consumption and high update rates, the sensor is ideal for dynamic flights that require immediate response to altitude changes or obstacles.

Technical characteristics and features of the model

Model SF30/D has a working range from 0.2 to 200 meters. The resolution is 1 cm, and the accuracy varies from ±5 to ±10 cm depending on the refresh rate. The supply voltage is in the range of 4.5–5.5 V at a current of 250 mA. Laser wavelength is 905 nm (class 1M, safe for eyes).

The sensor dimensions are 30x56.5x50 mm, weight is only 35 grams. The device supports serial port, I2C, analog output and microUSB interfaces for configuration. The operating temperature ranges from -10 to +50°C, which allows it to be used in a wide range of climatic conditions.
