Depth sensor FDROBOT CS30

Choose the compact FDROBOT CS30 depth sensor for precise 3D scanning and computer vision!

Get a highly accurate tool for spatial perception in your projects. The FDROBOT CS30 depth sensor based on VCSEL technology measures the distance to objects within a radius of 10 centimeters to 5 meters with centimeter accuracy. The device transmits data via a high-speed USB Type-C interface and is compatible with Windows, Ubuntu and ROS. Its compact body and low power consumption make it easy to integrate into unmanned and robotic systems.

• High accuracy up to 1%. Provides reliable measurements at distances from 0.5 to 5 meters.

• Flexible resolution choice. Supports 640x480 and 1920x1080 pixels for different tasks.

• Wide viewing angle. Up to 100° horizontal to cover large areas with one device.

• Easy to connect. USB Type-C interface and support for popular OS and ROS.

• Class 1 safe laser. Infrared radiation with a wavelength of 940 nm is safe for the eyes.

Operating principle and technical capabilities

The CS30 depth sensor uses time-of-flight (ToF) technology based on vertically emitting lasers (VCSELs). Infrared pulses with a wavelength of 940 nm are reflected from objects and returned to the sensor. The built-in processor calculates the distance based on the signal return time.

The device generates a depth map with a resolution of up to 640×480 pixels and simultaneously transmits a color image with a resolution of up to 1920×1080 pixels. The measurement accuracy is ±2.5 cm at a distance of up to 0.5 m and 1% of the distance at longer distances. Viewing angles reach 100 degrees horizontally and 75 degrees vertically, depending on the mode.

The CS30 sensor is ideal for drones, mobile robots and machine vision applications. It is effectively used for 3D mapping, navigation and object recognition. Thanks to ROS support, integration into complex systems does not require significant effort.
